Re: Vit A supplements for hubby

[Guest guest]

Sounds like my husband. Good luck and I¹ll look forward to the tips. Mine

finally takes the fermented CLO in capsules but complains about the burps

too.

I have found that I can mix one or two chicken livers into our taco meat

when I make home made taco¹s and he can barely detect it. It¹s not much but

it¹s better than nothing.

Do you get the burping problems with the liquid or gel fermented clo?

What causes people to burp from fclo or fish oil in general? Is it digestive

issues?

here is info on CLO

http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/cod-liver-oil-menu.html

these are in capsule form so you shouldn't have to hide the taste

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A. Sweet potatoes, spinach, eggs,

cheese, milk and butter also contain vitamin A. Generally speaking,

yellow/orange fruits and veggies as well as dark leafy greens are generally

considered to be good sources.

If you do some research, you can find plenty of foods besides liver that contain

vitamin A.

Here are just two articles with more information. They both list a number of

different foods that are good sources of vitamin A:

Elan,

Fruits and veggies contain beta carotene, the precursor to Vitamin A. Only

the animal foods (eggs, cheese, milk) contain actual Vitamin A. Beta

carotene foods need to be consumed with plenty of fat and the luck of being

a good converter.

I googled it. The Nordic Naturals website says this:

Are there any side effects?

Generally, no. Consumers typically report having more energy and a greater

mental clarity while taking EFAs. If you experience repeat (burping), your

supplements are either rancid or your body may not be manufacturing the fat

digestive enzyme, lipase, used to metabolize the oil. If you haven't ingested

fish oils for a long period of time it should take about a week for your body to

develop this enzyme.

There are many ways to sneak liver and other organ meats into foods, you just

have to be creative.

I would suggest all the vitamin A/D articles on the WAPF web site as good

starting point.

As for burping, one good strategy is to take the CLO just before bed. I've also

heard that freezing the capsules reduces burping problem.

,

My husband had the same problem with the CLO " burp " . He is now taking Green

Pasture's Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil Non-Gelatin Capsules at night and

there hasn't been any problem.

As for liver, make sausage while he's out of the house. If you have or can buy a

grinder or grinder attachment you can grind up the liver and add it along with

spices to make sausage. I've put it in Italian Sausage as well as plain old

b'fast sausage with great success. The key is he not see you doing it. If he

sees it, he will taste it!

Good luck!
