I'd recommend taking fish oil for vitamin D, as it also contains proper Omega-3 acids (many things labeled with Omega-3 contain useless variants).
If you are going to be practical about it, taking a spoonful from a bottle each morning costs about 95% less than the equivalent dose from fish oil capsules.
Taking a swig of fish oil ("tran") in the morning is quite common in Norway. It is normal to start giving it to kids from when they are a few months old, to get them used to the taste.
- matwood 16y agoI take fish oil capsules now and don't care for the fish burps that can come later even when I take them in the middle of a meal as opposed to after. I couldn't imagine just downing a spoonful of the stuff :)
- MtL 16y agoTry one with added lemon aroma, they should be relatively easy to get hold of. Concentrated fish oil capsules give me a more nasty aftertaste than the real liquid oil.
- torial 16y agoWhat you want is fish oil capsules with "enteric" coating. That gets rid of the fish burps. Agreed, I tried downing some fish oil by spoon (which was lemon flavored as well) and could do it longer than 5 days.
- gnaritas 16y agoSimple fix, take them before you go to bed, you won't notice the burps at all in your sleep.
- adammichaelc 16y agoIt sounds like you're recommending Cod Liver Oil, which contains both Vitamin D and Vitamin A. Be careful about the Vitamin A, as you can overdose. I take 4,000 IU of Vitamin D a day, and I also take Fish Oil (without Vitamin A or D) capsules separately, to avoid overdosing on Vitamin A.
- Deestan 16y agoYep, Cod Liver Oil.
