Been on daily cod liver oil since I was a child and we always had liver once a week as a child and at 70 I continue this routine. Waitresses used to laugh when my 5 year old would order liver instead of the junky food from the childrens menu. My mother was a dietitian and believed strongly in daily cod liver oil.
When you have acne or period pain you will see the benefits very visibly. Apart from that Omega 3 helps our body on the inside so it’s hard to realise the benefit. Also, it’s a supplement not a medicine how can you expect to see something out of it overnight…

Wow I took cod liver oil and woke up the next day feeling refreshed, not exhausted and irritable and ready to start my day......I've also lost 40lbs on keto....I don't know what to say Dr. Berg but you are amazing person and thank you for all your content that has improved my life and health :)
Brief, to the point, with clear explanations--(and no extraneous, long-winded pre-positions, pre-explanations, pre-assertions or preliminaries!) . . .Appreciate that so much. THANK YOU!!
I usually incorporate all three! I eat salmon a few times a week. I also take salmon oil, algae oil along with cod liver oil. All of those incorporated through out the week. Does wonders! I’ve developed arthritis in one of my knees. It brings the inflammation and pain down ten fold! My mood is always great, my dreams are crazy vivid! Which I assume is due to better brain health these oils bring. My mental clarity is much better, I also notice my hair grows much thicker, I’m a red head so the color gets more vibrant as well, my skin is usually clearer. These oils are a godsend.
A doctor on the BBC did a test with 3 groups of people over 6 weeks. The first group ate white fish, the second oily fish and the third cod liver oil capsules. First group had little improvement to their health, second a vast improvement and the third slightly better than the second group.
Flaxseed converts at 4% to epa and does not convert to dha. Flax also contains 3x the amount of pythoestrogens as soy. My opinion on cod liver oil is that if you regularly consume organ meats, stick with fish oil because you are getting plenty of vitamin a from the organ meats.
Thanks doc .....lost 35 pounds . ....keto ....Walk 8 kms 5 times a week . 100 pushups every day ....weights 3x a week and bike 3 to 4 x a week. Been taking cod liver oil off and on for years .......but the last month take half a tin every day . Feel great . My energy skyrocketed......did 485 pushups in a day a few days ago ......not all at once but through the day . Thanks doc for the videos ....
Thank you Dr. Berg. I am now 64, going on 65. I used to take 3-6-9 fish oil capsules, and even with those I was able to get rid of my prescription glasses, but I later learned that omega 3 is much better. In recent years the capsule gave me an upset stomach, so now I prefer Cod liver oil in liquid form; and now the thyroid meds are going down. As well, my all-round-health is improving. Someone here in comments mentioned better dreams at night, and I agree. I am a dreamer, I normally dream at least once a week; and now with the cod liver oil, I am waking up to dreams on a daily basis.
I’m Jamaican and without even watching this video I can tell you Cod Liver Oil is MUCH BETTER for you. Lol It was shoved down my throat every day as a child and let me tell you my immune system is on ANOTHER level. Lol
Thank you Dr. BERG you saved my life. I was always tired and have to take a 3 hour nap mid day just to make it through the day. I couldn't think and could not lose weight with exercise. Been on Keto 2 weeks and lost 20 pounds. Your fat bomb recipe is awesome thank you.
@@mirarift Capsules are a waste of money. I personally keep a bottle of high quality fish oil in the fridge, which I take daily. Will start getting pure virgin cod liver oil when my budget allows it. Good quality fish oil is more beneficial than the most expensive cod liver oil capsules. But pure virgin cod liver oil is the king (albeit pricey). If it doesn't need to be refrigerated, that's the first sign it's low quality (i.e. capsules).

That moment a year ago with an A1c of 10.6 when I had seen Dr Berg for the first time breaking down an insulin concept (Where is the old-fashioned blood sugar?) :D! An A1c of 5.0 is where I've been at from that moment and on! Thanks a million times Dr Berg.
@@lindaaustin-morin7781 Yes I was! Some hesitation in there that this carbohydrate-abandoned diet doesn't work for type I diabetics? No, that's what the banana-for-k doctors would say 😁! My sister is type I for 4 years with an A1c never below 8.0. In three months, her A1c has registered a perfect 5.3! P.S. Type I & II diabetics who take insulin MUST Substantially reduce the insulin units from the minute they ditch the poisoning carbs to avoid any kind of hypos. That's it.
My husband got new insurance so they made him do all his bloodwork and his A1C was only5.8 so the doctor said he doesn’t have type 2 diabetes with a number like that. My husband hasn’t been eating as badly because I’m doing the Keto Diet so he still isn’t always eating perfect but he gave up his red licorice and doesn’t get the carb filled old style meals I used to fix him. He was really surprised by how good he’s doing. Sugar is evil!
@@sherirottweilersforever7772 Absolutely! I myself had a fasting blood glucose of 108 mg/dl a year prior to the diagnosis and the traditional AHA doctor thought this wasn't an abnormal number 😁! Most doctors of chronic diseases nowadays are making people sick rather than healthy.
I'm 121 years old and next month is my birthday 122 cod liver is a staple in my household, my mother is older now but still takes it in the morning as well.
I take Cod liver oil right before eating pizza, and after eating pizza. No 'binding' aka constipation! It makes my skin instantly soft and hasn't improved my night seeing problems, but I feel it's working on it! Hope Springs!
Omega 3 fish oil was the first massive step in being able to live a normal life after years of rising inflammation and pain from chronic lyme disease. This isn't to say Omega3>Cod liver or vice versa, just that there are massive benefits to both, so whichever one you pick, it will have benefits.
Question. When they say take it daily or can you risk a missed day? Also, is it just one pill a day? The bottle says take 3 daily. Also do you still need it if you no longer feel pain?
@@C2HGaming Fish/Cod oil takes a long time to build up for chronic inflammation, so missing one day here and there is fine. Dosages/amounts of pills are different depending on who you ask, and the amount on the bottle is generally only a recommendation, and on the lower side. When I started, I was getting about 4-5g(4000-5000mg) of total fish oil per day for about a year. EPA and DHA were about equally distributed. Some people will say that’s too much, my doctor said it was fine, Andrew Huberman says it’s fine. It was fine for me. I’m sure many people will also say that’s too much. For me, I was in tremendous pain, and just wanted to do as much as I could. Yes, if you only take one pill, or simply not as much as you need, you might not get all the benefits, or it might take longer to get those benefits. As for the last question, if you have some condition, and treat the underlying condition while using fish oil, then the source of inflammation would be solved, and the pain should not come back. Note: I say treat WHILE USING, and not treat it with fish oil. These are two separate things. However it’s way too complicated to say what will happen. Also, even if the underlying problem isn’t solved, it doesn’t mean that it will come back or it won’t. (At least I can say that the pain won’t come right back 1 week after you stop)
Everytime i have hurting or sensitive teeth i start taking a tsp of codliver oil. The other day my teeth were aching and i tried chewing garlic, chewing up a turmeric capsule, rinsing with salt water and nothing helped and then i remembered the codliver oil so i took 2 tsp of that nasty stuff and the pain was down 50% next day did it again and the pain is gone. I use apple cider for my gout, magnesium for my knee and codliver oil for my senitive teeth and i found potassium helps with my restless leg syndrome. If any of you have figured out what helps your issues let me know i love learning about natural health cures.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I've been wondering about the differences between Cod Liver oil and fish oil. Cod Livers in their own oil are an important part of my diet.
Some ppl have genetic mutation that prevents them from converting ALA to active form of Omega-3. I think it is a better idea to use fish oil supplements.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Great explanation. Is there any chance you could explain the benefits of CoQ10 supplement? Is it good for health? Thank you so much
After taking Cod Liver oil for 2 weeks I do feel more calm, its like my mind always over think and wants to feel the tension but my body isn't just allowing. My bones yes they feel can withstand heavy duties. And my skin, god. Having dry skin for years my face has started to look oily and firm. I used to be itchy dry skin but these days I feel my skin feels moisturised without applying any lotion. So it's clearly showing up results on me! 😊 P.S ( after a week I also included following supplements - vitamin B complex and vitamin C)
@fraz zafar hey Zafar, I use to take 2 pills a day. It's been a year and I stopped actually. I saw spike in my cholesterol and triglycerides. My doctor asked me to stop taking them, may it's just me. Not underestimating cod liver oils, it's just that check it with your doctor first.
You are the BEST. Thanks for explaining things in a way that makes It so so easy to understand. Short and clear. Best Lecture! And thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I consume omega 3 supplements, plus cod liver oil, plus eat sardines almost daily, plus eat herring for a snack, plus add ground chia seeds (another source of omega 3s) to my meals
The caveat I would add to your preference of cod liver oil is that to reach a combined level of EPA and DHA of 5g daily with cod liver oil, you’re getting a LOT of Vitamin A, which can become toxic. As for the seemingly high amount of Omega-3s, more and more studies are coming out supporting the benefits of such (relative) high dose
Especially true if you already take other supplements or a Multivitamin. Then Vitamin A (and also D) overdosing (both are fat soluble vitamins accumulated in the liver) can become an issue, which should definitely be pointed out for completeness by a medical professional!
W Sharo great question, I heard it’s a lot less acidic/rancid by the time it reaches the consumer due to time and temperatures of the process chain....look forward to Dr Bergs response.
I just watched a video about processing cod liver oil in Iceland, and that video waited until the very end to talk about adding the vitamins back in after processing. I should have known you already knew about this and had an answer for it. Thanks!
Which is more effective, Salmon fish oil,cod fish,shark krill and dosage 1000,2000. I take it with Bilberry tablets with dinner for the last 17 years. And I feel good and healthy. Plus there is omega 3 in cooking oil, butter ,cereal as well.
Cod liver oil caused me headaches, heart palpations, joint pain, tiredness, and heightened anxiety. I took them for less than a month. It's been almost a month since I quit taking them and still experiencing side effects.
Did you take a brand that also had added vitamin A and D? You have to be very careful to read the back of the product a lot of cod liver oil supplements add additional vitamin A and D. The synthetic versions of these vitamins can cause those symptoms especially since they are taken in much higher doses than naturally occurring in cod liver.
@@sarahh4905 Yes, it contained both vitamin A and D. After doing further research I'm pretty sure I had vitamin A toxicity. I Should have done research prior to taking. I hope someone reads this and learns from my mistake.
High doses of Vitamin A can induce apoptosis (programmatic cell death) which essentially is your body getting rid of unhealthy or damaged cells. If you haven’t induced apoptosis regularly throughout your life via caloric restriction or vigorous exercise, then the apoptosis can trigger the symptoms you mentioned due to the massive cell die off. This is why people take accutane for acne. Accutane is essentially a highly concentrated form of vitamin A. It causes a lot of side effects due to increased cell shedding (apoptosis). I took it as a kid and it made me pretty miserable, although my skin looks great.
Oh also want to mention that I do take Omega-3 before going to bed. It's Dr Daniel Amen's brand. The reason I take that at night is something Thomas DeLauer recommends for people doing IF and Keto...one of those
I'm still confused. I just needed to know what is the best Omega 3 to take to get the best Omega 3 benefits. I don't care about which one has vitamins A and D in it
My 4 year old is obsessed with Dr.Berg!!!! She takes his kids multivitamin and rosita cod liver oil by rosita recommended by Dr.Berg! So thankful for you Dr. BERG!!!!!
Thank you Dr. Berg, btw can i take cod liver oil in the morning then fish oil at bedtime? Just got my lab tests -got 201 cholesterol results (Happy Holidays Dr. Berg) 🎄🎉✨🥂

norvegian cod liver oil Mollers , they use steam process to produce this oil and keep his benefits ,i drink this oil and my skin feels amazing , i suffer from psoriasis
Thank you, doctor Berg! One more thing I am wondering about is the best way to store the cod liver and fish oil. I have read that it is not good to store in the refrigerator but it is the opposite when it comes to fish oil. I would be really thankful if I finally get a conclusive answer because all I have been reading were mixed answers
Cod liver oil is the best thing that you can take. I remember my grandfather taking cod liver oil every morning acidophilus. And they lived to be almost a hundred years old God bless his soul I miss him terribly stick with the cause of Royal you won't be you won't go wrong
Thank you very much waited so long for this video I use right now Rosita brand It is extra virgin Comes from wild & Raw Not heated or chemical used. They used ancient extraction methods
Great timing! Was about to buy cod liver and was wondering if fish oil was the better choice, Thank you for another straightforward and informative video 🙏
I was awake from 7am to 5am the next day...slept for 3 hours, woke up at 8am then stopped working at 12 midnight. I do this sometimes when I have lots of work.... the difference is that previous times I always need tons of coffee to keep me awake... this one time I was munching on capsules of Omega 3... like they're sweets... I must have had about 10 to 20 throughout that period and I wasn't sleeoy or lethargic! My brain was awake! My body was awake!!

I could easily take Milk Thistle with Omega 3 1000mg together!!
Thanks for this comparison Dr. Berg. I switched to cod liver oil because of your suggestion
Some ppl have genetic mutation that prevents them from converting ALA to active form of Omega-3. I think it is a better idea to use fish oil supplements.
I'm going to stick with Fish Oil and take a Vit D supplement along with it.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Great explanation. Is there any chance you could explain the benefits of CoQ10 supplement? Is it good for health? Thank you so much
Yes Q10 is definitely useful for heart and eyes
Thankful dr Berg for wonderful analysis
Thrilled to hear it, thanks!
Thanks Dr. Berg, for your knowledge, with wisdom!! I love these videos...helping me alot!!❤🙂
I started taking cod liver plus some extra krill oil and some kelp too. Makes me feel great. My sleep has really transformed.
After taking Cod Liver oil for 2 weeks I do feel more calm, its like my mind always over think and wants to feel the tension but my body isn't just allowing. My bones yes they feel can withstand heavy duties. And my skin, god. Having dry skin for years my face has started to look oily and firm. I used to be itchy dry skin but these days I feel my skin feels moisturised without applying any lotion. So it's clearly showing up results on me! 😊
P.S ( after a week I also included following supplements - vitamin B complex and vitamin C)
What brand of cod liver you bought?
@@rajasalim3198 Seven Seas
@fraz zafar hey Zafar, I use to take 2 pills a day. It's been a year and I stopped actually. I saw spike in my cholesterol and triglycerides. My doctor asked me to stop taking them, may it's just me. Not underestimating cod liver oils, it's just that check it with your doctor first.
@@rajasalim3198 seven seas
@@shehely Why did you take for the whole year?
So finally which is best and have more health benefits?
You are the BEST. Thanks for explaining things in a way that makes It so so easy to understand. Short and clear. Best Lecture! And thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We should take it with food or empty stomach
I have started taking 1 tablespoon of cod liver for about a month and my eye site seems to have improved. Must be the vit A.
Sumpter - what brand are you taking? What time of day are you taking it?
I take both
when i listen to you talking. its like god opens a door to knowledge. thanks for that.
I consume omega 3 supplements, plus cod liver oil, plus eat sardines almost daily, plus eat herring for a snack, plus add ground chia seeds (another source of omega 3s) to my meals
Improve Asthma means positive or negative.
please explain
The caveat I would add to your preference of cod liver oil is that to reach a combined level of EPA and DHA of 5g daily with cod liver oil, you’re getting a LOT of Vitamin A, which can become toxic. As for the seemingly high amount of Omega-3s, more and more studies are coming out supporting the benefits of such (relative) high dose
Especially true if you already take other supplements or a Multivitamin. Then Vitamin A (and also D) overdosing (both are fat soluble vitamins accumulated in the liver) can become an issue, which should definitely be pointed out for completeness by a medical professional!
Can you please share which one is good for oily and acne prone skin? which one is beneficial?
What about Krill oil v fish oil
Thank you Dr Berg🙏
W Sharo great question, I heard it’s a lot less acidic/rancid by the time it reaches the consumer due to time and temperatures of the process chain....look forward to Dr Bergs response.
Check out the 5 minute TH-cam video on this subject by Dr. Rhonda Patrick. It’s excellent. She favors krill oil.
Krill oil is toxic
Krill oil is better. Especially if you're bodybuilding.
@@jonathanmcniel6483 Krill oil is really expensive from where i'm from. Much more expensive then cod liver oil and fish oil
Dr berg what’s about heavy metals in cod liver oil? Is it polluted or safe to eat everyday?
I just watched a video about processing cod liver oil in Iceland, and that video waited until the very end to talk about adding the vitamins back in after processing. I should have known you already knew about this and had an answer for it. Thanks!
Is there any negative about taking both.. Why do I need to choose ? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!!! I had this question a couple days ago so perfect timing.
Everyone says that. 🙄
Can you do both?
Hi Dr. Berg! I’m getting stuck between cod liver oil vs. cod liver pate/paste. Which should I go for in terms of nutritional content?
Which is more effective, Salmon fish oil,cod fish,shark krill and dosage 1000,2000. I take it with Bilberry tablets with dinner for the last 17 years. And I feel good and healthy. Plus there is omega 3 in cooking oil, butter ,cereal as well.
Well I guess the best thing to do is alternate between the two oils.
Best brand for fish oil?
Amazing 😉....no wonder my mom always made me drink cod liver oil when I was growing up 🤔.....who would of thunk🧐
I’m that mom now but my kids hate it but they will thank me later
Drank it today for the first time for my gallstones, takes the pain away instantly. Wish I took care of myself when I was younger.
@Harun Musa awww thanks cause they really hate it 😂 I don’t know how to make it better for them.
Cod liver oil caused me headaches, heart palpations, joint pain, tiredness, and heightened anxiety. I took them for less than a month. It's been almost a month since I quit taking them and still experiencing side effects.
Did you take a brand that also had added vitamin A and D?
You have to be very careful to read the back of the product a lot of cod liver oil supplements add additional vitamin A and D.
The synthetic versions of these vitamins can cause those symptoms especially since they are taken in much higher doses than naturally occurring in cod liver.
@@sarahh4905 Yes, it contained both vitamin A and D. After doing further research I'm pretty sure I had vitamin A toxicity. I Should have done research prior to taking. I hope someone reads this and learns from my mistake.
High doses of Vitamin A can induce apoptosis (programmatic cell death) which essentially is your body getting rid of unhealthy or damaged cells. If you haven’t induced apoptosis regularly throughout your life via caloric restriction or vigorous exercise, then the apoptosis can trigger the symptoms you mentioned due to the massive cell die off. This is why people take accutane for acne. Accutane is essentially a highly concentrated form of vitamin A. It causes a lot of side effects due to increased cell shedding (apoptosis). I took it as a kid and it made me pretty miserable, although my skin looks great.
I use Virgins butter oil too. Heard about this brand from Dr Berg but also read about combining cod liver oil and butter oil on Weston Price's website
Oh also want to mention that I do take Omega-3 before going to bed. It's Dr Daniel Amen's brand. The reason I take that at night is something Thomas DeLauer recommends for people doing IF and Keto...one of those
TAKE BOTH!! I shovel down 1000iu of Fish oil pill and Cod Liver Oil pill bout every 12hours and hope for best
I eat a can of sardines every other day. Gives me almost every other micro my body needs together with the omega 3
@@Kube_Dog most people know about it but cant get over the fishy taste of sardines. Thats why fish oil is a more convenient choice.
A can of sardines a cup of rice and some greens that's supper for me
This product is very good for joints ,and i allways feel netter movement ,when i have been on them a while.
I'm still confused. I just needed to know what is the best Omega 3 to take to get the best Omega 3 benefits. I don't care about which one has vitamins A and D in it
Was thinking the same. I'll probably end up taking both since they are both good for you
Just take both...but definitely include cod liver oil because Vit D is so important because helps body to actually absorb nutrients.
@@kchism1
You are absolutely correct. Vit D is xtremely important.
Eat salmon.
Cod liver oil has vit. A & D, vit. E & K2 and very often more vit. E is added as antioxidant, I definitely prefer cod liver oil.
Thank you Dr. Eric Berg.
Once again Dr you're absolutely awesome and incredible knowledge you share with us keeping us healthy and happy ❤️🌹
Awesome I eat both Cod liver Cod Liver oil and fish and fish oil but I also eat Palm oil
Dr. Berg thank you so much for the video. I have a question, can I take both of them on the same diet? thx!
My 4 year old is obsessed with Dr.Berg!!!! She takes his kids multivitamin and rosita cod liver oil by rosita recommended by Dr.Berg! So thankful for you Dr. BERG!!!!!
Wow, that's great news!!
Thank you Dr. Berg, btw can i take cod liver oil in the morning then fish oil at bedtime? Just got my lab tests -got 201 cholesterol results (Happy Holidays Dr. Berg) 🎄🎉✨🥂
So the best option is to take both. One capsule each of cod liver oil and fish oil!
It would have been good if you added Krill oil to this.
I came to say the same thing!
Ben Louis ...Right, it’s the staple food for whales 🐳, some of them are dying coz they’re not getting enough Krills.
Krill is what the King Penguins need to survive....we are taking such huge quantities from the oceans the penguins are starving!!!
@@susannerusso5789 Hardly.
Susanne Russo I don’t ever buy krill oil and I am so glad I never have now because I didn’t know they were were starving 😱
I was waiting for you to elaborate on the benefits of Cod Liver Oil for Hair growth
Do you recommend we take both, especially since the benefits differ?
I will like to know as well
I get vit A and bit D from other stuff but I hate hate hate cod liver oil. I take the fish oil pill.
Thank you Dr Berg I am an anesthesiologist in Canada and a big fan of you and your channel. Can you give me a recommendation of cod liver / brand or type or specific supplement
And thanks again.
norvegian cod liver oil Mollers , they use steam process to produce this oil and keep his benefits ,i drink this oil and my skin feels amazing , i suffer from psoriasis
Thank you, doctor Berg! One more thing I am wondering about is the best way to store the cod liver and fish oil. I have read that it is not good to store in the refrigerator but it is the opposite when it comes to fish oil. I would be really thankful if I finally get a conclusive answer because all I have been reading were mixed answers
Nordic Natural recommends to store its fish oil in the refrigerator after opening
@@savingday Wow, been buying it for years and never read the label, thanks. You live, you watch Dr. Berg and read comments, you learn.
Rosita Cod Liver oil is the best brand.
This, just got some and it's amazing
So which would be perfect in helping with harmonal acne
Cod liver oil
Cod liver oil is the best thing that you can take. I remember my grandfather taking cod liver oil every morning acidophilus. And they lived to be almost a hundred years old God bless his soul I miss him terribly stick with the cause of Royal you won't be you won't go wrong
Can you take both Cod liver and fish oil at the same time?
Health is wealth
Thank you very much waited so long for this video
I use right now Rosita brand
It is extra virgin
Comes from wild & Raw
Not heated or chemical used. They used ancient extraction methods
Wonderful to know this. Thanks, Dr Berg 👍🏻❤
Will taking cod liver oil break my fast? thanks for your help!
No
Which one is best for hair specially? Please answer me Dr Berg
Great timing! Was about to buy cod liver and was wondering if fish oil was the better choice, Thank you for another straightforward and informative video 🙏
I'm taking fish oil at the moment
So which one did you finally go for
One option is to alternate buying Cod Liver Oil one month and then Fish Oil the next, which is what we do to get the benefits of both.
Thanks for all of your wonderful free content. Just wondering why not recommend a Molecularly Distilled EPA DHA product? Seems that might be better.
So helpful and clear as always, thank you
Thanks much!
@@Drberg Is it Proven that fish Oil benefits our hearts By the Scientific study...❓❓❓
I was awake from 7am to 5am the next day...slept for 3 hours, woke up at 8am then stopped working at 12 midnight. I do this sometimes when I have lots of work.... the difference is that previous times I always need tons of coffee to keep me awake... this one time I was munching on capsules of Omega 3... like they're sweets... I must have had about 10 to 20 throughout that period and I wasn't sleeoy or lethargic! My brain was awake! My body was awake!!
Love your videos doc respect and love for you from India 🇮🇳
