Accidentally took 3 cod fish liver oil capsules today instead of two. worried i may have too much vitamin a??1250iu vitamin a each capsule

No need to worry: A single extra capsule will not cause any harm. Toxicity from vitamin A only occurs with very high doses over a longer period of time. Your body will be able to metabolize the extra cod liver oil capsule without difficulty.

Cod liver oil: 3 caps rather than 2 caps on one day is not a concern. The long term use of cod liver oil can raise your vitamin A to a toxic level stressing the liver. You would be better served by taking Marine Fish Oil rather than Cod Liver Oil but please check w/your doctor. Peace and good health.
