Accepted Answer

Duragesic (fentanyl) patch: Is fentanyl, which beside the overdose potential, is a pretty clean drug in relation to end organ damage, such as liver or kidney.

Question 2

cod liver oil effect on erection?

Accepted Answer

None: It has no benefit for this issue.

Question 3

is cod liver oil safe?

Accepted Answer

Should be: My only concern would be heavy metals or PCBs concentrated in the oil.  But that's true of all the ocean fish that we eat.  See if they test for those toxins.  I would just stick with your fish oil capsules.  And my my only other concern would be that it tastes like ... Cod liver oil!  ;-)

Question 4

is cod liver oil good for you?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It will not do harm, but if you have no reason to take this supplement, it will not do any good. It will not make you superhealthy!
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

what is cod liver oil pills do?

Accepted Answer

Cod Liver Oil: Cod liver oil contains more vitamin a and vitamin d than any other food.  This is pre-formed vitamin a, though -- not the beta carotene you can get from plants.  You probably want no more than 2500 iu of preformed vitamin a/day.  It is fat soluble and the excess is stored in your liver.  Cod liver oil also contains high amounts of dha and epa -- long chain omega-2 fats.

Question 6

could cod liver oil tablets actually work?

Accepted Answer

Tablets vs capsules?: capsules or liquid are certainly a lot more common but sure, the EPA/DHA, Vits A and D can be packaged into a tablet as well.  or do you mean does cod liver oil work, period?  it is certainly considered one of the more helpful supplements - supplying things people are actually often short on (see above).  anything that dates back 2000+ years is good in my book, too!
