Re: Premier nutrition High vitamin cod liver oil

[Guest guest]

-The Carlson cod liver oil is the best - plus the lemon flavored one

taste's good.

This product is recommended by Dr. Mercola - who has had it tested

(several times) and says it contains no comtaminants. Other highly

reputable docs only recommend this cod liver oil.

In a discussion on the WAPF chapter leaders board yesterday, Sally

said (re CLO in pregnancy)

" YOu need at least 10,000 IU vitamin A and 20,000 IU is better when

you are pregnant. So do the math. You get 10000Iu with 1 tsp of high

vitamin and 2 tsp of regular. We no longer recommend carlson's

because it is too low dose--they are actually taking the vitamin A

out!! Sally "

and somone else said " from what I understand about Carlson's

(somewhere all this hype started about it being the best - with

everyone else parroting...) is that it is not " genuine " meaning that

it is from a combination of fish - not just cod, with added A and

D. "

She didn't specifically say, but I dug out the latest shopping

guide. It still has Carlson on it - maybe it's fine if you're not

pregnant????? - but also Premier Norwegian and Dale .

One of the chapter leaders mentioned Green Pstures High vitamin.

This is exactly the same as the Premiere oil, but using rosemary oil instead

of vit. E as a preservative, IIRC. Ron Schmid will also be carrying this oil

soon! YOu can also get it on the web by searching for " Quantum " CLO.

Also, I think Radiant Life or the importer has had it tested and it IS free

of contaminants apparently.

From what you say about Carlssons, I wonder if that could be the US

brand name for what I take (MorEPA). The dose is 580mg EPA, in a

chewable lemon flavoured caplet, and it is fish oil, not cod liver

oil. However, it is the purest and highest dose fish oil available

in the UK, so it's really my only choice.

a month for the vit A

Yeah, it's all academic to me too. I can't get any of those brands

in NZ. Only Melrose, which is a Norwegian/Dutch brand, or

Healtheries a local brand that's sold in supermarkets, so i;m wary

of. So like you, I take what I can get.

Thank you to all who replied, I appreciate your input What I have

read about this particular COL (Premier Norweigian) is that is a fine

oil, good enough in fact to receive the USP grade label. Also, to

hear that Sally recommends it makes me feel better, I'm sure she has

vetted the source. Thanks again.
