Cod Liver Oil

 Cod liver oil is a top-tier natural source of both Vitamin D and Vitamin E, though the amounts can vary by brand and processing method.

⚡ Typical Nutrient Content (per 1 tsp / 5 mL of cod liver oil):

Nutrient Amount per tsp (5 mL) % Daily Value

Vitamin D 400–1,000+ IU 50–125%+

Vitamin E 1–4 mg (1.5–6 IU) 7–27%

Vitamin A 4,000–5,000 IU 80–100%

🧠 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.

Carnivore Tip:

Cod liver oil is carnivore-compatible and fills gaps in:

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2)

Omega-3s (EPA/DHA)

Hormone support, mood, and immune modulation
