What benefits do cod liver oil pills have on hair, skin and eyes???

Question

I also heard that i should not take a lot of it. Why not? And is two before meals twice a day ok??

Answer 1

Cod is high in mercury and so too much could give you mercury poisoning. It is great for your hair, eyes, skin and even your mind as fish oil reduces memory loss and increases your concentration.

Answer 2

None.

Cod liver oil should not be taken.  It has a near toxic level of Vitamin A. Taking 4 capsules a day would be over the toxic level.  Besides too much Vitamin A, it tends to be high in  metals and PCBs.

Eat a balanced diet including fruits and veggies and have fatty, cold water fish like salmon or sardines twice a week to have healthy skin, hair and eyes.

Answer 3

Cod liver oil is very good for general health with particular benefits for the immune system, and would certainly benefit your hair, skin and eyes. Quality varies, however, so take the time to check that the product has been screened for mercury levels. It is generally considered that it is better consumed by the spoonful (rather than capsules, although most people find the capsules more palatable) and should be kept refrigerated.
