A member asked:
Will vitamin a in cod liver oil really lower bone density?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: As little as 3000-5000 iu of vitamin a can cause bone loss if the vitamin d level is low (lower than 20-30 ng/dl). Most cod liver oil does not have that much vitamin a unless you take a lot.
