What Are the Benefits of Cod Liver Oil Capsules, and How Do They Support Health? - #15318
I recently started taking cod liver oil capsules, but I want to understand more about their health benefits and potential side effects. From what I’ve read, cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, but what exactly do these nutrients do for the body? I found out that cod liver oil is commonly used for joint health, brain function, and heart health, but how effective is it for reducing inflammation, improving skin health, and boosting the immune system? One thing that concerns me is whether cod liver oil supplements are safe for daily use. I read that taking too much vitamin A from cod liver oil can lead to toxicity—how can you ensure you’re taking the right dosage? Are there any natural alternatives to cod liver oil for getting similar health benefits? I’ve heard that flaxseeds, walnuts, and Chia seeds are plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids—but are they as effective as cod liver oil? If anyone has taken cod liver oil capsules, what health benefits did you notice? Did it help with joint pain, immunity, or skin health, and were there any side effects?
