However lately some "big names" in the health industry have said, we SHOULD stop taking Cod Liver Oil due to Vitamin A levels being too high relative to Vitamin D and that Vitamin A will work against Vitamin D!!
Again, this is more targeted at the cheap rubbish fish oil/cod liver companies that are rapping the sea bed and YOUR health with creating inferior products!!! Here's what Nordic Naturals have had to say about the Controversial topic of NO more Cod Liver Oil!
Nordic Naturals Offers Cod Liver Oil Solutions
in Response to Recent Vitamin A and Vitamin D Controversy
Watsonville, CA (December 1, 2008) In response to the commentary entitled “Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A Toxicity,
Frequent Respiratory Infections, and the Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic” published on November 11th by 16 well known supplement experts, Nordic Naturals announced today that its cod liver oil products pose no threat or compromise to consumers and actually offer healthy omega fatty acid solutions that are low in natural Vitamin A.
According to Karin Yien, MD, Nordic Naturals Chief Medical Advisor, “The issue that is cited by this group is based on the fact that almost all cod liver oil in the market is being supplemented with synthetic Vitamin A, standardized to certain levels, which is why it is assumed that all cod liver oil has high levels of the Vitamin A.
This is not true for the Nordic Naturals brand. We have always had low, safe levels of natural Vitamin A in our cod liver oil; and consequently, we do not add Vitamin A” to any of our cod liver oil products.
Nordic Naturals offers Arctic Cod Liver Oil made exclusively from Arctic Cod with no fish body oil or synthetic additives included.
“Nordic Naturals typically averages 650 - 1500 IU of Vitamin A per serving which falls in the low range compared to other manufacturers’ products that can contain more than 4500 IU,” says Joar Opheim, CEO of Nordic Naturals. “Since we have never added synthetic vitamins to our oils, consumers have felt confident in our brand delivering the desired results without the potential of ingesting too much Vitamin A from this one source.”
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for adults as established by the U.S. Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science is 3,000 IU for men and 2,300 IU for women.
For those wishing to increase their intake of Vitamin D, Nordic Naturals offers Arctic-D Cod Liver Oil with added Vitamin D in cholecalciferol form, the natural and most easily absorbed form of vitamin D. This product offers 1,000 IU of Vitamin D, which has the added benefit of creating a greater balance between Vitamin A and D levels in the diet.

I agree with your assessment of Nordic Naturals. I have found them to be the purest and cleanest brand on the market. Their green initiatives really speak to their integrity. I learned about this at www.planetnordic.com. I use their Omega Woman and I take their Cod Liver Oil soft gels everyday! It is too bad in today's world that people try to sell something other than cod liver oil as cod liver oil. You can trust this company! Thanks for your post! SH from Colorado
