Frequently Asked Questions About Solgar Cod Liver Oil (Omega 3)
What is Solgar Cod Liver Oil used for?
Solgar Cod Liver Oil is a supplement that provides omega-3 fatty acids as well as vitamins A and D. These nutrients support normal body functions; the product is not a treatment for a disease.
How should you take Solgar Cod Liver Oil?
Take Solgar Cod Liver Oil according to the directions on its label, preferably with a meal if it upsets your stomach or leaves a fishy aftertaste. Do not take more than the labeled serving.
What is the difference between Solgar Cod Liver Oil and regular fish oil?
Solgar Cod Liver Oil comes from cod liver, so it provides vitamins A and D alongside omega-3s. Regular fish oil is usually extracted from the body of oily fish and may not provide those vitamins.
Can you take Solgar Cod Liver Oil every day?
Yes, Solgar Cod Liver Oil can be taken daily at the amount stated on the product label. Avoid exceeding that amount: vitamins A and D can build up in the body, and more is not necessarily better.
Does Solgar Cod Liver Oil have side effects?
Yes, Solgar Cod Liver Oil can cause fishy burps or aftertaste, nausea, or indigestion in some people. Taking it with food may help. Do not use it if you have a fish allergy.
Can you take Solgar Cod Liver Oil while pregnant?
Do not take Solgar Cod Liver Oil during pregnancy unless your clinician recommends it. Cod liver oil can contain preformed vitamin A (retinol), and excessive intake of this form may harm a developing baby.
Does Solgar Cod Liver Oil contain vitamins A and D?
Yes, Solgar Cod Liver Oil provides vitamins A and D as well as omega-3 fatty acids. The amounts depend on the specific product, so use its label when accounting for these vitamins from other supplements.
Can you take Solgar Cod Liver Oil with vitamin A or D supplements?
You can combine them only if the total vitamin A and D intake remains appropriate. Solgar Cod Liver Oil already supplies both, so check the labels to avoid unnecessarily high combined amounts.
How should you store Solgar Cod Liver Oil?
Keep Solgar Cod Liver Oil in its original container, tightly closed and away from heat and direct sunlight. Follow the package directions for storage after opening, since they can vary by product.
Is Solgar Cod Liver Oil suitable for children?
Only give Solgar Cod Liver Oil to a child if the product label says it is suitable for that age. Its vitamins A and D mean an adult product or adult serving should not automatically be used for children.

What is Solgar Cod Liver Oil (Omega 3)?
Solgar Cod Liver Oil (Omega 3) is an oil supplement made from the liver of cod, rather than from the fish’s flesh. It supplies omega-3 fats and is also a source of vitamins A and D; nutritionally, it is almost entirely fat, with no carbohydrate or protein.
It has a rich, distinctly fishy flavour and is commonly taken by the spoonful, often alongside breakfast or another meal. In places where cod liver oil is familiar, people may also mix it into cold foods if they prefer to soften the taste. It is not a substitute for a meal, and its concentrated nature makes portion size worth considering. Follow the product label for serving and storage instructions.
