Sometimes: Cod liver oil is normally very high in vitamin a. In fact, taking cod liver oil daily used to be a fairly common way to get vitamin a toxicity. Cod liver oil is experiencing a rise in popularity as many people are taking it for the omega 3 fatty acids as well as the vitamin d, so many cod liver oils now have the vitamin a removed to prevent toxicity.
