Re: Transdermal Cod Liver Oil

[Guest guest]

Hi,

This is the first I've read about administering this supplement this way. Can

someone tell me why this is being recommended/the advantages, etc.?

thanks.

I hate to sound stupid...but why do you need a glove? I would think it

would be great for Mom, too..... I would think it need to be in well

enough so that it goes more in on her instead of everything else...why

on skin and not in her mouth?

just curious

The reason we are doing it this way is because I can't get the

supplements into her any other way. She's 3 1/2 and has oral issues

so we are going to be doing almost everything transdermally, shots or

tasteless supps. on her food.

The reason I was told to wear a glove was so I knew she was getting

the whole 1/2 teaspoon and I was absorbing it in the process.

On a side note, the Nordic Naturals CLO from Kirkmans has a great

orange smell. Not fishy at all.

Is there a special brand of CLO that has to be used if you are doing it

transdermally? Can any brand be used?

TIA,

Not sure about what brands you can do it with. I would think any one.

But Nordic Naturals is one of the best I've been told. Oh I have an

update. It smells okay when putting on but she reeked of fish this

morning and today. She just got done with her bath so I applied it. I'm

going to try giving her a sponge bath tomorrow before getting her

dressed for school. Any tips for dealing with the fish smell?

It is nice to know you can rub the clo on to the skin I will also have to try

this. My son is very tuff to get anything in by mouth also. Please let me know

what other supps you are using transdermal

I am now doing the CLO and zinc transdermally. I will be doing

magnesium also. So far so good on the CLO and zinc. No negative

reactions. No positive ones either but it's still early.

[Guest guest]

Are you mixing the zinc (and soon magnesium) with the CLO? If not,

how are you doing this transdermally?

I do the CLO on her back in the evening after bath. I do zinc on the

front of her legs and thighs one day and her outer arms the next. I'm

not mixing anything yet. Not sure if I can do that. I'll have to ask.

Dr. Megson prescribed the Artic Cod Liver Oil from Kirkmans. It has a

nice orange smell going on but eventually does smell like fish.

I'm also giving dd a calcium powder on her food once a day. It has no

flavor and she ate it fine. The only problem is hiding it because it

looks like powdered sugar and she is only eating little pizzas right

now.

Like I said I will be eventually adding magnesium. I'm also going to be

doing B-Vitamin (w/Folinic)(B-Complex) cream, and Glutatione cream. I

know some creams you can get without a Rx but the B complex and

glutathione are in syringes and by Rx. All of these will be transdermal.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi All ...

 

I have 'Carlson for Kids' brand in the house. They make a 'Norwegian Cod Liver Oil' that is 'Bubble Gum' Taste ... it smells like bubble gum too ... a nice and fruity sweet bubble gum odor. So I have started trying that after reading this thread. As for the Zinc ... I will try using a liquid Zinc ... 'Trace Minerals' brand 'Ionic Zinc' (Liquimins). And as for the magnesium I am going to try using 'Now' brand 'Magnesium Citrate' Nervous System Support (Superior Bioavailability + with Glycinate & Malate) SOFTGELS ... Yes you have to take the time to cut open the softgel and squeeze the Magnesium out ... but it is in a cream type consistancy (something like white toothpaste).

 

I applied the Cod Liver Oil to the back (as suggested in this thread) ... the Zinc on the front of the legs and thighs one day (and will be alternating with the outer arms the next). And the magnesium I rubbed on face.

 

Too early to tell how good it is working (I will post again after I have tried it for a few weeks) BUT ... the magnesium makes a great 'face cream' nothing better for softer younger looking skin. So-o-o-o-o ... Even if I do not feel I am getting benefit from absorbing the supplement I may continue the Magnesium just as a skin cream every night before going to bed ... this stuff is GREAT!

 

Others may want to try the CLO transdermally even if your child will take Cod Liver Oil by mouth. Why? you ask ... well ... when I googled Cod Liver Oil and transdermal I found out that celiac disease (gluten free/wheat free diet) can cause malabsorption of fats!!! and there are other causes of malabsorption of fats as well.

 

No fats (being absorbed) ... no ability to utalize vitamins that are fat soluable ... such as ... "A, D, E, and K."

IF ... Vitamins are absorbed through our blood and blood cells. ... And ... They are absorbed with the aid of fats.

Then ...

If the person has a fats malabsorption problem ... they would also have a problem with deficiency of vitamins A, D, E, and K !!! ... No?

If you have any health problem that you can not seem to find the cause of ... there is a chance that deficiency in a certain vitamin may be at the root. Worth a try to see if anything unexpected improves with the use of transdermal CLO.
