Question 1

can we take cod liver oil (seven seas capsules) with neurobion forte? do we have side effects?

Accepted Answer

Probably: I don't know what is in Neurobion Forte but I'm not aware of any known interaction with fish oils and other substances.   I think excess amounts of cod liver oil can cause some liver problems but it  requires as I recall quite a lot of it to create a problem.

Question 2

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 3

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!

Question 4

what are the warnings for cod liver oil? didnt they used to give that for lots of conditions?

Accepted Answer

Cod liver oil: Excessive amounts can lead to too much vitamin a or d, especially ininfants. Also aspiration of the oil can be dangerous.

Question 5

cod liver oil effect on erection?

Accepted Answer

None: It has no benefit for this issue.

Question 6

is cod liver oil good for fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Not especially : Source of vitamins a and d; don't overdo. Fatty liver often associated with overweight, alcohol, some meds. Address those issues.

Question 7

is krill oil better than cod liver oil?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps a bit but...: Krill oil and cod liver oil are both excellent sources of essential Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The main thing krill oil has that cod liver oil does not is Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant with many proven benefits (see http://products.mercola.com/astaxanthin/).
But krill oil costs much more so you could take cod liver oil and supplement with astaxanthin.
See my comment:

Question 8

is cod liver oil good for constipation?

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Interaction: There have been reported rises in inr in fish oil ingesting patients, if you take cod liver oil, your inr must be monitored closely to see what the effect is in the individual; wouldn't recommend it.

Question 10
