What's a good substitute for Cod Liver Oil?

I heard it's not a good idea to take Cod Liver Oil tablet as they are full of Mercury which the fish absorb and then it's passed on to us!What's a good substitute for Cod Liver Oil?
Healthspan UK do a very good cod liver oil. Taken from their website: they use fish from unpolluted fisheries of Iceland and refine it further using their advanced 'filter-pure' technology to provide a higher concentration of valuable Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) per capsule......

So should be no mercury.


Perhaps there is no good substitute for cod liver oil. Its a tried and tested old-fashioned remedy that did prevent rickets in many children and also played a role in the development of the immune system by those that have been dosed on it throughout childhood.





Walnuts and flaxseed oil are good vegetarian sources of omega 3. Dried apricots, carrots, melons and egg yolks are a good source of vitamin A. There is perhaps no substitute for sitting in the sun for 10-15 minutes a day with suncream on to boost natural vitamin D production. Do that safely by avoiding sitting in the sun midday. And wear a good UV cream and hat. But oily fish such as sardines, skippers, sild, and salmon, are a good dietary source of both vitamin D and omega 3.





Best wishes.What's a good substitute for Cod Liver Oil?
1) eat sushi (or sashimi, which is really RAW FISH! Buy the sashimi


from a Japanese fish market),


2) eat sardines,


3) drink cod liver oil directly (check out these websites),


4) eat oily nuts (raw pecans, almonds, walnuts, cashews(dry roasted w/o salt)).


Hope these ideas help!


All the best to you!
MorDHA capsules have the highest concentration of omega.





Impurities such as mercury and PCB鈥檚 have been removed through a series of highly technological processes including SFE/SFC (Supercritical Fluid Extraction/Chromatography) at low temperatures (below 50掳 C).
