Cod liver oil is from the liver of the fish which is rich in Vitamins

A and D. Omega 3-6-9 (fish oil) is made from the flesh of the fish

which does not contain significant amounts of A or D.

The brand Nordic Naturals comes to mind with the name Omega 3-6-9,

but maybe others are called the same. Also, the fish source of cod

liver oil is, of course, cod, but 3-6-9 fish sources vary (anchovies,

sardines, etc).

You can go to the above site and run your cursor over each bottle to

see the different amounts of DHA/EPA content availalbe. It seems cod

liver oil can provide similar amounts of DHA as the fish oil, but

that the EPA content is typically higher in the fish oil blends.

Not all of our kids need the extra A and D, which is why they might

avoid cod liver oil. Some kids have lost or greatly reduced visual

stims after adding cod liver oil to their regimen (Vitamin A is the

aide here). I've also heard advice to use cod liver oil in the

winter when you don't get a lot of direct sun exposure (thus you

aren't producing vit D) and fish oil in the summer months. I don't

do that.
