Naka Platinum Icelandic Cod Liver Oil 1250mg, EPA 100mg and DHA 112mg with Vitamins A and D, 80-160 Softgels

Naka Platinum Icelandic Cod Liver Oil 1250mg Details

Naka Platinum Icelandic Cod Liver Oil provides 1250 mg of cod liver oil from wild-caught North Atlantic cod per softgel, naturally delivering 100 mg EPA, 112.5 mg DHA, 750 mcg RAE (2500 IU) vitamin A and 500 IU vitamin D3. That combination is the point: cod liver oil is the marine oil that brings fat-soluble vitamins along with the omega-3s.

It is the traditional spoonful your grandmother was given, in a softgel you cannot taste — 160 per bottle, in Halal-certified, BSE-free bovine gelatin, made in Canada.

Quick Facts

Who Icelandic Cod Liver Oil Is For

• Anyone wanting vitamins A and D3 from a whole-food marine source rather than isolated in a tablet
• People building a bone routine — vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption and strong bones and teeth
• Anyone working on eye health — vitamin A supports normal vision, DHA contributes to retinal structure
• Canadians wanting immune support through the darker months — A and D3 both contribute to normal immune function
• People following Halal dietary requirements who want a softgel, not a liquid

Who this product is NOT for: If your goal is a high omega-3 dose, this is not it — one softgel carries 212.5 mg of combined EPA and DHA, where Naka Platinum Norwegian Omega-3 Softgels carry 1,001 mg and Pro Omega-3 Fish Oil Liquid carries 1,300 mg per teaspoon. Buy cod liver oil for the vitamins, plain fish oil for the dose. If you already take a high-dose vitamin D plus a multivitamin with vitamin A, plain fish oil is the better buy. And if you avoid fish, Naka Platinum Vegan Omega-3 Algae Oil is the alternative — though no plant oil carries vitamin A.

Vitamart's Take

Cod liver oil gets mis-shelved as "fish oil with extra steps", and its EPA and DHA numbers do look modest beside a concentrated fish oil. That is the wrong way to read it. This is a fat-soluble vitamin product that happens to carry omega-3s, and the vitamin A and D3 were never added — they are in the liver oil naturally, at the ratio nature put them in. For those two nutrients in their original company rather than separate capsules, there is no substitute.

The real trade-off is that it does two jobs at modest intensity rather than one hard. One or two softgels give 500 to 1000 IU of vitamin D — a sensible baseline, below what many Canadians take through winter — and 212.5 to 425 mg of EPA plus DHA, a maintenance intake. People wanting both higher usually add a separate vitamin D, or move to the larger-dose Icelandic Cod Liver Oil Liquid.

How Icelandic Cod Liver Oil Compares

The honest comparison is not oil versus oil but what each one is for:

• Versus Naka Platinum Norwegian Omega-3 Softgels: roughly five times the EPA and DHA, and no vitamins A or D. Different purchases — plenty of people take both.
• Versus Naka Platinum Icelandic Cod Liver Oil 4000mg Liquid: same oil, much larger serving, by the spoon from a glass bottle. The liquid for dose and flexible measuring; these softgels for a fixed small dose, portability and no taste.
• Versus buying fish oil and vitamin D separately: separate products let you set each dose independently and usually cost less per unit. Cod liver oil wins on simplicity and on vitamin A.
• Versus a standalone vitamin A supplement: most use retinyl palmitate or beta-carotene. Here it arrives dissolved in the oil it came from, alongside D3 — see Vitamin A Supplements to compare forms.

Why Cod Liver Oil Carries Vitamins A and D — and Fish Body Oil Does Not

The two oils come from different parts of the animal, and that is the whole explanation. Standard fish oil is body oil, pressed from the flesh of small oily fish such as anchovy and sardine. Cod liver oil is pressed from the liver of one large fish, the Atlantic cod. Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble, so a fish stores them rather than excreting them, and the organ it stores them in is the liver. Press the flesh and you get omega-3s; press the liver and you also get the vitamin reserve.

It is also why the EPA and DHA numbers run lower. Liver oil is not a concentrate — it is the oil as the fish made it, so the long-chain omega-3s sit at their natural share rather than being distilled up. What you buy is the whole fat-soluble package: vitamin A supporting normal vision, immune function and skin integrity, and vitamin D3 supporting calcium absorption, bone strength and immune regulation, with EPA and DHA alongside.

How To Use

Adults: take 1 to 2 Naka Platinum Icelandic Cod Liver Oil softgels 1 time per day. Taking them with a meal containing some fat helps absorption of the oil and its fat-soluble vitamins. For freshness, store in a cool, dry place.
