This cod liver oil and fish oil blend gives you roughly 120mg of combined **omega-3s** (EPA plus DHA) per capsule — below the 250–500mg typically used for general maintenance, and well under the ~1,000mg studied for heart health. If omega-3 is your main goal, one capsule a day leaves you short of the doses linked to clinical benefit.
The 525mg blend pairs 268mg of cod liver oil with concentrated fish oil and adds 4mcg (160 IU) of **Vitamin D** — about a sixth of the 1,000 IU clinical starting point. Cod liver oil has long been used as a source of vitamins A and D alongside its omega-3s, so think of this as an A-plus-D-plus-omega supplement rather than a dedicated omega-3 product.
Here's the real constraint with cod liver oil: its natural **Vitamin A** sets the ceiling. Vitamin A is fat-soluble and accumulates in your body, so you can't simply take extra capsules to reach a meaningful omega-3 dose without pushing vitamin A too high — a particular concern in pregnancy. It works as a traditional A and D source, but it's an inefficient way to hit a clinically useful omega-3 dose.
