Cod liver oil

that one?

+++Hi Tara. If the brand is Garden of Life, take 1 tablespoon per day, along

with a separate fish liver oil that contains 10,000 IU vitamin A and 400 IU

vitamin D, so you are getting within these totals:

Vitamin A: 20,000 IU - 30,000 IU

Vitamin D: 800 IU - 1,200 IU

Omega-3: 2,000 mg - 3,000 mg (EPA plus DHA)

Or calculate it yourself if it isn't Garden of Life.

All the best, Bee

I thought we didn't need a separate fish liver oil supplement if we were taking

the Garden of Life cod liver oil?

+++Hi Dana. You can either take 2 tablespoons of GOL CLO,

OR take 1 tablespoon plus extra A & D, which costs less.

or is true in the midst of so much conflicting information that is put out

there. I hope I will get like you myself one of these days! For instance, I have

read that cod liver oil inhibits digestive enzymes to a lesser degree than nuts

and seeds do, but still it does. Is this true? And is this one of these cases

where we need to " pick our battles " and accept that one downside in light of the

great benefits of the CLO (vit. A,D, omegas?)

+++Hi Helene. You are right, that is another one of those myths/lies! And

there is no downside at all!

If cod liver oil inhibited digestives enzymes, then all of us would have

digestive problems, but I don't, and many people on my program are curing their

digestive problems. Sldo Dr. Price brought back people from death's door by

giving them just cod liver oil and butter oil.

The body is able to produce proper digestive enzymes if there is enough stomach

acid and fluid with foods emptying out of the stomach (period)

Hello Angeline,

If you take the Garden of Life, Bee recommends two ways to ensure you are

getting the recommended amounts of vitamins A, D, and omega 3s:

1) you take 2 tablespoons per day (you do not need three)

2) you take one tablespoon per day, plus an additional 10,000 vitamin A such as

found in halibut or shark liver oil, and an additional 400 IU of vitamin D

These are the standard dosages. Is there some reason you feel you need more?

Best,

andra

Hi Angeline,

andra answered your question about Garden of Life CLO.

I think you should read my article on Depression & Anxiety:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat6.php

You should be gradually lowering your medications for depression since they are

toxic and will interfere with your healing. But it must be done very slowly.

All the best, Bee

Hi andra, thank you for your reply. For some reasons I had in mind that

it's 3 tablespoons. Two tablespoons sounds enough. Thank you again.

Hi there,

Is your name, ? We tend to go by names rather than email address.

Yes, it is safe to take cod liver oil in the summer and/or all year round.

Paraphrasing, Bee, due to numerous factors it is difficult, to almost

impossible, for most people today to get enough vitamin D from sun exposure.

Therefore taking cod liver oil is recommended all year, except for those " rare

people " who are able to fulfill all of the requirements above.

> Thank you so much Bee for your last answer. I want to understand how the

vitamin bottle reads so bear with me please. Ok you recommend:

> Vitamin A: 20,000 IU - 30,000 IU

> Vitamin D: 800 IU - 1,200 IU

> Omega-3: 2,000 mg - 3,000 mg [EPA plus DHA]

> and I am taking the Carlson Cod Liver Oil with:

> A-3750 IU

> D3-400 IU

> Omega 3-300 mg---it says 3 soft gels with each meal and it says this is per

serving (the amounts listed) so am I getting way too much A, just the right D,

and not enough Omega?

+++Hi ,

3 soft gels contains 3,750 IU of A and 400 IU of D? How much EPA and DHA does it

contain?

+++Hi Collette,

I think it will be okay, since shipping doesn't take very long.

However, if you are concerned call iHerb about them.

Hi ,

Usually you have to take a lot of capsules in order to meet Bee's

recommendations for Vit A and Vit D intake, so it can get quite expensive.

Usually CLO is easier.

Actually it's only 5 total between both of the capsules and I have found it to

be about the same in cost. Either way I'm not too concerned about the cost. Am I

missing something on the dosage? I am going off of Bee's supplement chart and I

thought this was the right amount.

+++Hi ,

Yes, you are correct, since this is what is on my iHerb page:

Capsules - Life Time, Omega-3, take 2 softgels per day, and also buy Natural

Factors Halibut Liver Oil, which contains vitamins A and D, take 3 softgels per

day. This product is not available at iHerb but it can be purchased at many

local health stores or other online sources. This product is naturally derived

from purified and filtered fish liver oil, so it isn't derived from soy. Even

though it doesn't state it is soy-free, if there is any soy in it the amount

would be very small.

All the best, Bee

+++Hi ,

Dave Wenzel, who makes the feremented CLO, cannot claim any standard amounts of

omega 3 and vitamins A & D in his products.

The ratios of omega 3 and vitamins A and D I recommend have been used by myself

and people on this program for a very long time, and we are all doing very well.

I've done a cost comparison of the fermented CLO to taking 1 tbsp of Garden of

Life Cod Liver oil plus 1 capsule of Natural Factors Halibut Liver Oil and my

combination costs a lot less. It is also more accurate as to the amount of

omega 3 and vitamins A & D.

Don't know about Kirkman's but we use Nordic Naturals' Ultimate Omega liquid and

there is no fishy taste at all. You're actually more likely to get that fishy

flavor with the capsules in my experience. Comes up later as burps - which is

rather unpleasant. You can avoid this somewhat by keeping the capules in the

freezer.

>

> I would like to give daughter Kirkman's liquid clo, but hubbie, remembering

his childhood, says it will taste horrid! Does anyone know? (Daughter cannot

tolerate flavored) I know there are caps but there can be drawbacks there too.

Any advice?

My son loves Nordic Naturals Spiced Apple CLOil - no taste whatsoever, smells

like apple pie!

We can't do any of the flavors either. We went with Carlson's unflavored and

yes it tastes awful so switched to capsules when the girls could swallow

pills. They never complained about burps until the capsules.

It does taste awful but IMO the burps later are rancid tasting.

I also didn't see the same wow with the capsules, if your child does not

digest well, the capsule may not work.

We went back to the liquid and use oral syringes to give it to them. The

pharmacy will give them to you free of charge often times

Not sure this helps but, my two cents

Hi Sasha,

All supplements, including cod liver oil, must be taken with complete meals that

contain good fats and also protein.

It has been my experience, it's better to take cod liver oil just before I eat a

meal so I'm less likely to burp it later. I take my second dose at least 3 hours

before bedtime for the same reason.

2nd dose meaning it is best to split the 2 tsp.s it says to take on bottle into

2 doses?

+++Hi Nan,

You can take cod liver oil all at one time with a meal.

Some people take 2 tbsp. while others take 1 tbsp along with halibut liver oil,

so splitting doses is not necessary.

+++Hi there. Is your name Tara?

As I wrote to Nan this morning, you do not need to split doses of cod liver oil.

How much you take of a particular brand depends upon how much omega 3 (EPA &

DHA), and vitamins A & D it contains. I recommend Garden of Life CLO, which

available at iHerb:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/iherb.php

Ensure you are getting these nutrients levels in your cod liver oil, or you may

need to buy a separate supplement:

Recommended Daily Amounts of Omega 3, and Vitamins A & D

1. Vitamin A: 20,000 IU - 30,000 IU

2. Vitamin D: 800 IU - 1,200 IU

3. Omega-3: 2,000 mg - 3,000 mg [EPA plus DHA]

See this article which explains it:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cod2.php

All the best, Bee

[Guest guest]

Nan: When you say second dose, do you take one tablespoon in the

earlier part of the day and then the second tablespoon later in the day?

Thanks, Theresa
