Choosing Cod Liver Oil or Fish Oil: An Important
Distinction
The main distinction between cod liver
oil and fish oil is that cod liver oil is very high in vitamin D. In
warm weather, the sunshine produces high and usually sufficient
levels of vitamin D without any supplementation necessary.
Consequently, consuming cod liver oil in the warm weather months or
climates in not recommended as this can result in an excess of
vitamin D in your system and consequential complications.
Conversely, in cool weather, your body needs more vitamin D, and so
it is recommended that you take cod liver oil versus fish oil in
cool weather months or climates.
A general rule is, take cod
liver oil from autumn to early spring, and fish oil from late spring
through the end of summer. Adjust accordingly the closer or farther
from the equator you live.
