Cod Liver Oil 1000mg Omega-3, EPA, DHA, Vitamins A & D 180 Capsules

What This Product Provides

Each 1000mg softgel delivers cod liver oil sourced from Norwegian and Icelandic waters, cold-processed and tested for heavy metals and pollutants. At the full three-capsule daily serving, this provides 660mg combined omega-3 (240mg EPA and 270mg DHA), alongside vitamins A and D naturally present in the oil due to its liver origin. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function, and DHA supports brain function and helps maintain normal vision — recognised EFSA health claims. Vitamin A contributes to normal skin, vision, and immune function, and vitamin D supports normal bone structure, muscle function, and immune performance.

Worth knowing: this listing doesn’t specify the exact vitamin A or D content in mcg or IU. Since cod liver oil’s vitamin A content needs to be checked against the NHS’s 1.5mg (1,500mcg) daily supplement limit — covered in full in our vitamin A safety guide — particularly if you also take a multivitamin or eat liver regularly, it’s worth contacting the manufacturer for this figure before starting regular use, rather than assuming it falls safely within the limit.

If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, avoid this product entirely — this is specific NHS guidance for fish liver oil products including cod liver oil, given the vitamin A content and its association with birth defect risk at high intake. If you want the omega-3 benefits relevant to pregnancy specifically, a standard fish oil or algae-based supplement without vitamin A is the appropriate choice instead — see our cod liver oil vs fish oil comparison for more detail on choosing between the two.

If you want the omega-3 benefits relevant to pregnancy specifically, a standard fish oil or algae-based supplement without vitamin A is the appropriate choice instead.

This product contains fish and gelatin, making it unsuitable for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone with a fish allergy. The suggested intake is one to three softgels daily with water and food, providing up to two months of supply at the full dose. Speak to your GP before use if you’re breastfeeding, take prescribed medication (particularly blood-thinning treatment), or have an existing medical condition, and don’t exceed the stated serving suggestion. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.
