Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil Gems (Formerly Called Softgels)(TG)

Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil Gems Details

Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil Gems are softgels of cod liver oil that's naturally rich in omega-3s (EPA and DHA) plus vitamins A and D3. The oil comes from cod caught in Norwegian waters, is in the triglyceride (TG) form, and is separated from the liver without chemical solvents. Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory for freshness, potency, and purity — including mercury, cadmium, lead, and PCBs.

Quick Facts

Who Carlson Cod Liver Oil Gems Are For

• People who want omega-3s plus the naturally occurring vitamins A and D in one softgel
• Those who like cod liver oil but not the taste of the liquid
• Anyone who wants a Norwegian-sourced, triglyceride-form cod liver oil
• People who value independent purity testing for heavy metals and PCBs

Who this product is NOT for:

• Anyone with a fish allergy
• Vegetarians and vegans — this is a fish-derived oil
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women, without medical advice — cod liver oil is high in vitamin A, and too much vitamin A in pregnancy isn't recommended
• Anyone on blood-thinning medication, or scheduled for surgery, without talking to their doctor — omega-3s can affect bleeding
• Anyone already taking a separate vitamin A or high-dose vitamin D supplement, who should account for the amounts here

Vitamart's Take

Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil Gems are an easy-to-take softgel that provides omega-3s along with the vitamin A and vitamin D naturally found in cod liver oil. The oil is sourced from Norwegian cod and tested for freshness and purity. If you like the benefits of cod liver oil but not the taste of the liquid, these softgels are a convenient alternative.

How Carlson Cod Liver Oil Gems Compare

Cod liver oil vs. regular fish oil

Regular fish oil comes from the body of the fish and gives mainly EPA and DHA. Cod liver oil comes from the liver and naturally includes vitamins A and D as well.

Softgels vs. liquid

Softgels are easy to take with no taste. The liquid lets you take a larger amount and adjust the dose. Carlson offers both.

Regular vs. low-vitamin-A version

Because cod liver oil is naturally high in vitamin A, Carlson also makes a low-vitamin-A version — worth considering if you already get plenty of vitamin A elsewhere.

What Is Cod Liver Oil?

• Cod liver oil is oil extracted from the liver of cod fish
• Unlike regular fish oil (from the body of the fish), it naturally contains vitamins A and D along with omega-3s
• It's been used traditionally, especially in northern countries, as a winter source of vitamin D
• Because it's rich in vitamin A, it's important not to take more than directed
• The triglyceride (TG) form used here is close to how the oil occurs naturally

How To Use

• Take as directed on the product label, with a meal
• Take with food that contains some fat to help absorption
• Keep the vitamin A amount in mind if you take other vitamin A or multivitamin supplements
• Do not use if you have a fish allergy
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take blood-thinning medication, talk to your doctor before use — cod liver oil is high in vitamin A, and omega-3s can affect bleeding
