The bottles came in thick cardboard boxes and now they live in the

darkness of my fridge.

Problem is (was) that they just list Vitamin A x mcg and so on. The

list of ingredients says " Pure Icelandic Cod Liver Oil, Natural Source

Vitamin E, Valencia Orange Oil, Natural Lemon Extract " . Which makes me

assume the Vitamins A and D comes from the oil... The post here got me

worried, so I wrote to them and asked. They answered promptly:

" The Vitamins A & D in our Cod Liver Oil are naturally present in the oil. "

Hurray! All is well! For the interest of fellow Europeans I can add

that this company has good and quick service. Prices are low, as they

are situated on tax-free Guernsey.

Thank you for your help!
