In this video, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. EPA has potent anti-inflammatory properties, while DHA supports cognitive function. Cod liver oil is also rich in vitamin A and vitamin D.
Don’t confuse cod liver oil with fish oil! You would need 12,000 mg of fish oil to equal just one tablespoon of cod liver oil.
You can not get vitamin A from fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is only a precursor to vitamin A, not the active form. Cod liver oil contains retinol, the active form of vitamin A.
The most common autoimmune disease is Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. There’s a significant link between vitamin A deficiency and hypothyroidism.
There are vitamin A receptors inside of your white blood cells, so it’s crucial for immunity! Vitamin A also helps to regulate iodine.
Vitamin A supports the mucus membranes of your mouth, sinuses, throat, and lungs, so it’s critical in preventing infections. It also supports the roots of the microvilli on the inside of your intestinal tract.
Vitamin A supports the health of your retina. If you’re deficient in retinol (the active form of vitamin A), you can go blind.
Cod liver oil is also a good source of vitamin D. Without vitamin D, you can't pull calcium and magnesium into the body.
Beans, legumes, grains, and cereals are very high in phytic acid, which increases the need for vitamin D. If your diet is high in these foods, it’s easy to become deficient in vitamin D.

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains why you should take cod liver oil. I’ll see you in the next video.
00:00 🎣 Cod liver oil is a superfood rich in omega-3 (EPA, DHA). Omega-6 from seed oils competes with omega-3 absorption.
00:54 🌞 Cod liver oil is a valuable source of vitamin D and A, surpassing benefits of fish, sardines, or salmon oil.
01:47 🦷 Grass-fed butter with cod liver oil is recommended for skeletal development, especially in children and pregnant women.
02:31 🐟 Cod liver oil is preferable over algae for omega-3, providing essential vitamins A and D, vital for children. Fruits/vegetables don't offer true vitamin A.
03:37 👁 Vitamin A deficiency links to autoimmune diseases. Vitamin A regulates iodine, supports mucous membranes, preventing infections.
04:30 🌿 Cod liver oil, an excellent source of vitamin A, crucial for retinal health, is a preferable alternative for those who dislike liver.
04:57 💪 Vitamin D in cod liver oil is essential for calcium/magnesium absorption, crucial for diets high in phytic acid.
05:26 🚑 Cod liver oil is a superfood, combining active forms of vitamin D, A, and omega-3 fatty acids, benefiting the immune system and reducing inflammation.
If I take cod lover oil. Can I discontinue my vit D and omega 3? It must be good to reduce 2 caps to only 1 cap.
Love Weston Price!
Gracias por resumir. I love ❤❤
The EPA and DHA is too low with cod liver oil. Try getting 1g of EPA/DHA from cod liver oil. Same problem with krill oil. I get plenty of a,d,k from my diet and supplements.
Is fish oil enough?
I just started consuming cod liver. Sardines one day, cod liver the next. Two hard boiled eggs, pasture raised, and an avocado with macadamia nuts everyday for lunch. Thank you @dr_ericberg !
Wow ! I’m proud of your consistency lol, I had heard you only have one can of cod livers a week? But you do it every other day along with other healthy foods what have you noticed after doing this? Do you feel healthier?
Add some krill oil too...that way you get some astaxanthin along with your Omega 3s as well :)
@@mco119jj krill oil hopefully his next video
Yup, about the same here. Loving nut butters with dark chocolate. Having the nuts in buttered form helps me with digestion. Normally I prefer whole food but the nut butter change really helps me. Canned Cod liver is surprisingly good. I save the oil and take it over next few days.
I have chronic GOUT! I would love to eat sardines krill or take cod liver oil however I am afraid that it will give me a bad gout flare.
We came from a poor family but our mother still made us take them oils.
God bless your mom. That's love.
It's crazy how some vegans are like zombies, just totally brainwashed by all the vegan propaganda out there. I used to be one of them, but I've always tried to keep an open mind. That's when I had a reality check. How can you claim to love animals but turn a blind eye to the suffering they face in the wild? It hit me hard when I realized that sometimes, being under human care is actually better for them. I mean, think about it, out there in the wild, they could get eaten alive by a predator or starve to death anytime.
She was smart!
Don't forget Father Johns. We were poor too. My mom used to tie a small sack of garlic around my neck as a child (6years)
Same here. I’ve just started again today.
I started taking cod liver oil at the age of 28 on the recommendation of my osteopath. My doctor had diagnosed me with osteoarthritis of both hips, plus my hand knuckles were swollen and it was stopping me gripping. Drs prognosis was that I would have replacement hips by age 50. I am now approaching 73 with the same hips, no pain and knuckles back to normal. One of the main elements of my recovery was cod liver oil, which I have religiously taken daily. People say I look in my 50’s including my current doctor! A truly amazing supplement that has all the benefits DrBerg speaks of.
What brand do you take
@@ambro987 I am based in the UK, for many years I took it in liquid form using the Seven Seas brand. For about 10 years now I have been taking it in capsule form from Simply Supplements.
How much per day do you take ? 1 teaspoon ? 1 Tablspoon ? Tks
.
@@johnpitre1295 I always took one tablespoon first thing in the morning. I now take one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. Each capsule gives 1000mg of cod liver oil.
I am from the westcoast of Norway, and we grew up always taking a tablespoon of codliver oil every morning. In all the months with an "r" in it. I am now 55 an I still do it.
Do you have any super human abilities? 😂
Which brand do you recommend?
@@dorotybenjamin5311I use the Norwegian cod liver oil that piping rock sells.
Very interesting. It sounds like the reason for not taking it from May through August might be due to the increased chance of receiving adequate Vitamin D through sun exposure during those months.
what's your LDL and HDL cholesterol levels?
I started taking cod liver oil and I could feel the change in my body. The only supplement that I ever felt better. Less brain fog, not as anxious, and I pray it will keep getting better 🙏
I would also recommend cutting out whole milks/whole diary products (lactose dense products). Long story short, to a certain extent EVERY adult is lactose intolerant. I thought just cuz I didn’t get cramps I was just fine. Little did I know that breaking lactose is very demanding of the human body and can cause brain fog.
@@Joe_SharkSkin Not happening. Grass-fed milk in my coffee and tea for the win... oh, and for the K2. 😉
@@TheUtuber999raw is even better
@@TheUtuber999I concur! I've switched to raw milk from a local cattle farmer and I have no health issues from it!
How do you use it?
Any mg ?
And what time ?😊
I grew up as a little kid in the 1980s and 1990s with a most wonderful Jamaican woman who was like a Grandmother to us kids in a Group home.
She used to have us line up every school morning to receive one tablespoon of Cod Liver Oil!
The name on the bottle was:
Seven Seas!
Dr. Berg knows exactly what he is talking about!
Excellent, overall health and wellness information/education!
Aww 🥰 Thinking about the woman you mentioned and picturing that!
My mother used to line us three kids up and give us cod liver oil every morning. Sometimes she would mix it with orange juice to make it more palatable, but we grew to actually like the taste of it.
Oh Yes I do concur with your comment I remember having Seven Seas in my youth courtesy of my late Mom who lined up 5 of us kids for a daily intake of Cod Liver Oil...Back in the 70s growing up here in Africa..
PS We all 4 are extremely healthy adults in our 60s ad 70s!
@@jeweliedee4299 Glad to hear this 👍
Dr Eric is just the goat .

I will start taking cod liver oil immediately. Thanks Dr Berg from the Philippines.
No problem. Wishing you good health!
@Drberg Have you started working on a video in RE: Candida Auris? Seems like there is several videos that it is the next covid, thank you
My grandma gave it to us every morning before school and she told us it was for preventing illness, mostly cold season.
Man, you're awesome! Thank you for your service! I feel so bad for a guy that I tried my best to support a while back. His misinformed nutritional knowledge about animal protein was so awful. I tried to show empathy for his veganism and even donated hundreds of dollars to help motivate him towards true learning of the importance of animal protein, but I got shunned. 😐 He even went so far as to hate on Dr. Berg for teaching us true health! 😂 Well, around March 9th of that year, I had enough and put my full focus on Healthy Keto, and I feel so much better! Much appreciated. Have a wonderful day, everyone! 🙂
Veganism is just another form of liberalism!
He sure is

My cat loves u too! 😺❤️❤️❤️
Amazing. Stay safe and healthy!
Congratulations! ❤
@@Drbergwhat’s up with your McDonald’s fries short video? It’s AI generated. Can you please address this?
I think my mother for shoving a teaspoon of Cod Liver oil, mixed with golden seal then washing it down with a glass of orange juice every morning. This was in the late 80's early ninties. I took this for ever morning of my elementary and middle school years. My mother knew something back then
I take one cod liver oil and one fish oil in the morning with my vitamin D3 and K2 mk7 with a zinc picolinate.. It has helped me quite a lot for 9 months now. With my healthy keto lifestyle and fasting. I have lost more then 110 pounds so far and I feel FANTASTIC! THANK YOU DR BERG.
Curious why take vitamin d when cod liver contains it?
Can I take them together ? I have vitamin d3 and mk7 , can I take them with cod liver oil together with the meal ?
@@fatmaaj232 Yes, I do every morning
Note : We (the Vikings) worked it out centuries ago.....
Cod Liver Oil really is a super food.
I started taking CLO after I was diagnosed with Salivary Gland Cancer & came across Dr. Weston A. Price’s work.
FYI…make sure the Vitamin A & D is still present in the cod liver oil you buy (some don’t have it).
Also, it’s a natural blood thinner, so keep that in mind.
I will live a longer healthier life bc of Dr. BERG! GOD bless him!✝️❤️✝️❤️
After trying 8 different cod liver oil brands I must say Rosita is unparalleled. All the others, including Carlson have been disappointingly mid. Rosita is the only one I found that doesn’t add synthetic vitamin A & D back in which gets lost due to the processing. Rosita is raw, unheated, traditional method. If your cod liver oil is light in flavour and color, you got top of the barrel, filtered oil. If it’s dark (almost brown) you got the primo stuff 🤝
Appreciate the heads up 😀
Is carlsons brand still good? I know Rosita is best but we have a whole bottle or Carlson’s ?
@@ana0259 its still good! I personally wouldn’t buy it again, but for the omega 3 content it is good. The vitamin A & D are added back in synthetically rather than naturally occurring. It is a pleasant, thinner tasting oil compared to a raw unprocessed cod liver oil so it’s more palatable.
@@walterjeworski4618 does carsons say they add synthetic A and D? Does their cod liver oil not contain natural vitamin A and D?
Carlson's quality not as good. A lot of people from Weston Price groups like Rosita and Dropi@@ana0259
As a coach who has been in the game for 8 years, Dr. Bergs info is spot on. Ive recently been taking the vitamin D, and k2 drops and Ive noticed a huge boost in energy. I recommend it to all my clients that have low vitamin D!
Always Dr.Berg thank you so much!!! Info at the best .
As always Dr. Berg, Thank you.
The best video on cod liver oil, Dr Berg. I never liked the taste and struggled taking it when I was a child but so grateful my parents insisted. Cod liver oil is an amazing super food which I learned to appreciate even more since I found your channel and thanks for your continuous support 🙏🏻
Try washing it down with milk.
@@peetsnort I don't mind so much the taste nowadays. Thank you 🙏🏻
Great info Dr B ... thank you for all the work you put in.
Thank you for this video! Thank you for your educational impact on our society!
Gratitude 🙏
(Ketosis: Many Drs are instantly prescribing Statins when they see the cholesterol levels in the blood of a person in Ketosis, don't let them poison you. Recent studies show Oreo cookies do more to help you than Statins, not kidding)
Dr. Berg, I cannot thank you enough!
Thank you for your valuable information you provided Dr. Berg
Wow! I love this video,thank you Doctor Berg
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
Weston A. Price. Yes, that is a must read/own book. It was a first read in my health journey many years ago. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Very informative!
Enjoyed your presentation sir. Thanks 💦
Superior information, and I started Vitamin K2 after watching your video. I'd a major heart attack and stent fitted 2 years 7months ago and I quit smoking 🚬 immediately and now I rarely drink alcohol. But your information is priceless Sir.
Love taking it everyday after my meal when breaking my fast just 1 teaspoon!
Love your informative videos. Thank you!❤
Great video, thank you! I need to put this on a monthly repeat schedule.
I have heard you should make sure that if you buy cod liver oil it should be in a dark glass bottle, no plastic.
My understanding is that cod liver oil can easily go rancid during processing. So it is important to find a reputable source.
Same with castor oil
I read the book by Price. The pictures are a story all their own. Many manufacturers produce a good cod-liver oil that taste of lemon.
Dr Berg I just ordered your cod liver oil supplement from Amazon! Can’t wait to try it!
Blessings and appreciation from Australian.
OMG today searched about this video 4 times on RUclips with your name so that i can find what are your views on it but Thankfully God Listen you just Uploaded the video about it, Thanks Man
Great video on explaining why it's so beneficial , I have the one you make and I do believe they have helped with my Auto-Immune condition. Love all of your products.
Good morning! when I was little I remember being giving this every morning, I hated it! Now it makes sense why I was so healthy, I never use to get sick. Placing my order on your website now. Thank you so much for being so knowledge and sharing it with us.
Yesterday just started but very happy indeed after watching all the good stuff it has .Thank you
That's great. Keep it up!
I began taking cod liver oil decades ago when I suffered the debilitating effects of several types of arthritis. I was prescribed Naproxen for the pain but that didn't reduce the various pains. Within one week of beginning the CLO regime, my feet were pain free, I could sleep at night without constantly suffering joint inflammation, and my skin become silky, velvety smooth, and that's just to name a few of the positive effects of CLO.
Cod liver oil is great for knocking-out inflamation. I take it regularly and it seems to minimize the amount of muscle soreness, or its duration, after hard workouts or intense physical exercise (like a 1.5 mile swim).
Please share HOW MUCH you were taking! TYVM and Congratulations. God Bless you!
@igitahimsa5871 For the first 7 days, I took 1 tablespoon of Norwegian Cod Liver Oil each morning. Thereafter, I have taken 1 teaspoon of the same every morning as my maintenance regime. It is not advisable to take 1 tbsp of clo for extended periods of time, I was told. (But it looks like 1 tbsp per day has been okay for @vivianpettersen9942 so, well.... what do I know?!)
@@JuneAdams-li9syThank You, and God Bless!
@@JuneAdams-li9syIs it the green bottle labeled ENGELVAER ?
My grandma never got sick and always took Cod liver oil, I take it now and it seems to help.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg, for your free advice.
You're most welcome!
I love everything this guy talks about !! It's NEVER just a generic well-being video :)
Thanks Dr Berg. My Mum used to give us Scott’s emulsion ( cod liver oil ) and malt daily.Thx for your invaluable knowledge. ❤😊
I watched the video on sardines and cod liver a few days ago. I’ve been eating sardines for years but never had the cod liver. I got a few tins and i must say it is delicious.
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
I've just started taking it as my feet and heels have become quite dry 😱 it's recommended in one of your earlier videos!
As a practicing dentist who recommends the Weston Price diet I see it’s benefits especially in children in their ideal arch formation and lack of cavities
I do remember my mother giving me this as a child.
It was very good at helping me get better from several childhood ailments. Thank you for sharing this and reminding me about this super food.
I trusted you a lot thanks for your advice.
Smashing video as always, Dr Berg! Used to dislike it when I was a kid but now loving it. Thanks for your wonderful educational content 👍🏻💕
I don’t mind the taste now that I’m older and wiser😊 Especially now that I know the benefits!
Just had some sardines and my cod liver oil
Thanks Dr Berg you the best❤
I had tin of mackeral and cod liver oil : )
That's a 100% true.
I take cod liver oil for my vit D.
me too
it is so expensive tho
Me too, and I have boosted my immune system so much doing so.
Good investment for your health @footyelectric
Yes! I have been talking a tea spoonful every morning for over 3 years! Expensive but worth the health benefits. Way cheaper than medications!
❤🙏 Thank you so much Doctor Berg
Another great video ❤❤❤
Always enjoy your great videos. Thank you. Just one point I noticed is that you are comparing cod oil and other fish oil in mg and a table spoon, and 12,000mg = 12g and a table spoon of oil weighs about 14g or less, so the difference is not that dramatic as you made it sound. Am I wrong? Either way, the differences of cod oil and other fish oil you pointed out were eye opening. Thank you always.
I add a cap full of cod liver oil into my smoothies. It's helped improve my blood work.
Should be reading my Bible but I’ve been binge watching your videos since yesterday when I ran into one of your videos.
Thank you so very much Dr Berg. I'm taking cod liver oil already and cow fed butter. I can't stop taking them.
My mother use to give me cod liver oil when I was little. Thank you for the information. ❤❤❤
What about cod liver in a can is that just as good as taking the vitamin? And is one can of cod liver a week sufficient thanks, Dr. Berg always love your advice.
A literally just ordered some last night
Wow !
Tanks Doctor
Ill do that❤
Thank you and good morning!
Good morning!
I take Krill Oil, it is amazing - really helps with my joints! I can feel it if I don’t take it.
I've been taking Cod Liver Oil for around 20 years and am going to start with Krill Oil when my current supply of Cod Liver Oil runs out.
What’s the difference between the two oils?
@@denisemaples6519 Cod liver oil is high in EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and some vitamin E.
Krill oil contains EPA and DHA omega-3s, phospholipids, and the antioxidant astaxanthin, but lacks the vitamins A and D found in cod liver oil.
I think the omega-3 in krill oil is more easily absorbed by the body. Also krill oil is supposed to be less likely contaminated by mercury.
@@denisemaples6519it seems krill oil has slightly more omega 3 and is slightly better at being absorbed in the gut with the least toxins however cod liver oil contains far more vitamin A and D.
What brand are you taking??
What do You think of Krill oil?
Some people say that usually all cod liver oil and fish oil are rancid,Is that true?
God Bless You 🙏
I generally take it just through the Winter months but maybe it should be year round after watching this
I can’t get over the way he said cereal 💀
Me neither 😂😂
Funny story: my mother used have to chase us around with a spoon of Cod liver oil, and us trying not to take it.. So after one these episodes, my mother mixed it into a bowl of ice cream, and said Do you guys want some ice cream? we all said , Yeah!!! And we ate the ice cream with the cod liver oil ! And never the wiser!!,
Please do a video about vitamin deficiencies with hashimotos and elaborate on how much vitamin a is needed
I take cod liver oil but I also love canned cod liver. It’s delicious! Basically it’s like a rich foie gras from the sea
Take it in softgel form every day, sometimes twice. And give it to my elderly mother who has memory loss. I no longer buy any other fish oil... We just eat more fish. Can't tell if it's making a difference in either of us, but I feel better knowing I'm getting all of these nutrients in a natural form.
That's great. Stay safe and healthy!
Interesting information about the low heavy metal toxicity. Thank you.
We have that book. It's amazing.
Thank you Dr. Berg😊
I take it all the time. I almost never get sick with a cold or flu. I really take it a lot more during the winter months.
Enjoy both cod liver and sardines awesome video thanks for sharing
You da man Doc! Thanks for the info. I’ve been taking a swig, directly from the bottle, everyday, since you first informed me.
Okay, I’ll give it a try.
Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg
You're welcome!
Thanks Dr ❤
Fanatastic as always….question….i have your cod live oil here, 2 bottles….but my naturopath said i would not be able to digest it….yet I absolutely believe in what you say here…..now i am fish allergic (can’t stand the smell can’t take fish oil supplements) and i have weak digestion….i have your gallbladder help…..is the cod liver fish oil hard to digest?….thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
I just started back taking them today. I was coming down with a cold the start of one. I remembered my grandparents always gave us this to help keep us from getting too sick. I take vitamin K2 also
amazing info thanks real dr
Been taking it for 6 years now, easy W
Thanks for this info. My order of cod liver oil is being delivered today.
🐐 Thank You 🧡
Your videos are awesome and I'm glad that you are doing updated videos on various topics because as you know your videos are now hidden so glad you have a monthly supply
This is my 3rd day taking cod liver oil supplements so I can’t say anything definite but I’m cautiously optimistic that it’s significantly helping my anxiety issues. It’s been a good 3 days.
I take one a day too also make a stir fry prawns mushrooms chicken with mixed veg and hope everyone is having a good day ☮️☮️
I'm going to move on this! Thank you.
Thank you Mr Berg : )
much appreciated.
I started the Carnivore diet 4 days ago and I’m eating a lot of meat including fishes like sardines. No veggies or nuts. Scary to do but I want to change. Something is happening atm. I will keep you all posted.
Hope it works well Michael.
@@SpamMouse thank you. It seems to helping a bit. I seem to be getting more energy because of no sugar as well.
I just started taking suppliment of that.
I get gas from fish oil but cod liver oil has no side effects for me. Thanks for suggesting it last year.
