    Those who took cod liver oil tablets for long and did not gain weight- lucky and good for you. It is a good supplement. As indicated in my first post, I had many positive benefits.

    Am also reposting(pasting) part of my first post where I made it clear that it could have been a freak case for me.
    A doctor told me that most cod liver oil tablets contain lot of cod fat which make us gain weight. I dont know if this is fully true, or if I am a unique (freak) case of adding weight after CL tablets.

    Dear Priyanka,

    It should do good for the menopausal women. It contains lots of anti oxidants, Vitamin A , VitaminD , calcium and other things.
    It is widely taken to ease the pain and joint stiffness associated with arthritis but has also been clinically proven to have a positive effect on heart, bone and brain health, as well as helping to nourish skin, hair and nails. ( as per Wikipedia) If you like to know more about these you can go to the site Cod liver oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    You can take cod liver oil capsules. If you like th taste, because some do not.
    No consultations are necessary. There are no side effects. I have used it.
    All the best

    Vit E found in this oil improves fertility besides serving as an antioxidant. Like with any omega-3 fatty acid, cod liver oil reduces the chances of blood clotting. This is why is reduces the chance of cardiomyopathies & stroke. Having said that when taken in excess it can cause excessive bleeding when there's an injury. But this long term effect varies with the dosage & from person to person. Also cod liver oil is not advisable for people with hypercholestrolemia, obesity or heart conditions.

    Eskimos are known to have a very healthy heart 'coz of high amounts of Vit E & omega-3 f.a. but unfortunately most often they die of bleeding disorders - especially because of their lifestyle combined with life long high dosage of anti-coagulants.
