Re: cod liver oil capsules

[Guest guest]

Dear Jeanne,

This softgel product by NOW is a fish oil, which is not cod liver oil,

therefore it contains no Vitamins A & D. This would be good to take in

the summer when you get enough sun making Vits. A & D on your skin.

But to get Vits. A & D you need a softgel containing halibut liver oil,

which I have too, or cod liver oil.

How much Vit. A should you take? The normal adult dose is about

20,000 - 30,000 IUs per day. If you are taking a natural source, and

not synthetic, there should be no concern of an overdose however. It

is only synthetics which cause overdoses. I have taken 100,000 IUs per

day for periods of time to help my mucus membranes during a cold or

flu, which was recommended by my holistic M.D.

You should always take a day of rest from all supplements about every 2

weeks.

Faith, is there any Omega 3 in the cod liver oil capsule

I know Solgar is an expensive brand. Anyhow, in Europe it is. What do

you pay for a certain amount of capsules?

Is there a brand of cod liver oil that you take by the spoonful like in

the old days? When I was small there was orange flavour and sugar in

these bottles. We wouldn't want that though.

The good news is: I ordered an enema set. Hope it's the right kind. It's

not expensive thank God. Colonics are.

I found organic coffe, Robusta type. I'm getting prepared. I'm a bit

nervous about starting doing enemas.. I think I'll start with lukewarm

water before I try with the coffee.

I also got some Epsom salt, and will try that out too.

I think it is great Bee added recipes for making everything at home,

llike the cabbage rejuvelac. It's much cheaper that way. Going to the

shop to find it takes time too :-)

==>Faith, I can't tell what the total of omega 3s are: It is 28 mg of

EPA but no mgs are given for DHA. You need to take 3,000 mgs. of

oemga-3 per day, so taking a capsule form may not be the way to go,

or buy fish oils separately to get enough.

==>You also need 800-1200 IUs of vitamin D and a minimum of 10,000

IUs of vitamin A. That means you need to take at least 8 capsules

per day = 1,080 vit. D and 10,000 vitamin A. You'd be better off

buying liquid CLO and putting it in geletin capsules yourself if you

cannot tolerate the oil in your mouth. Or take the liquid watered

down to minimize the taste and sensation. Garden of Life is lemon

flavored and I do not find it offensive.

==>The best brands of liquid cod liver oil are: Radiant Life, Blue

Ice and Garden of Life in North American, but these brands aren't

offered throughout the world. These are taken by the spoonful but

some people find it offensive, either because of the fishy taste

(some are flavored with lemon), or the oil feeling in their mouths so

they get capsules. I'm finding that capsules may be inferior and may

cost more in the long run however.

==>The easiest appliance to use is a bulb-type syringe. I tried the

enema bag and found it difficult compared to the syringe.

==>It is always recommended you clean out the bowel first by doing a

plain water enema at body temperature.

==>I'm glad to hear that. If I had my druthers everything would be

from natural whole foods, herbs and spices.
