Overview
•Cod liver oil at 1000mg provides safe omega-3 levels (about 100-200mg EPA/DHA), well below upper limits to avoid bleeding risks.
•Vitamin A dosage (300mcg) is low and safe for adults, but chronic high intake from multiple sources may risk hypervitaminosis A.
•Vitamin D at 10mcg meets daily needs without exceeding safe upper limits of 100mcg, suitable for most healthy adults.
•Generally safe for healthy adults; medium risk for those on blood thinners due to omega-3 effects on clotting.
•Not recommended during pregnancy without medical advice due to vitamin A content potentially exceeding safe fetal limits.
•Allergen risk from fish source; low contamination concerns from reputable brand, but verify for heavy metals in long-term use.
