🧠 Key Notes:
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in cod liver oil is highly bioavailable.
Vitamin E content is modest, but it's in the natural tocopherol form, often with antioxidant benefits.
Some high-quality brands (like Rosita or Carlson) retain naturally occurring E, while others add synthetic E as a stabilizer.
