Product Name & Strength: Nature's Field Cod Liver Oil 1,000 mg, 100 Softgels.
Indications (Approved Uses): Dietary supplementation intended to provide a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), Vitamin A, and Vitamin D. It is universally indicated for the maintenance of cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and a balanced inflammatory response to support joint mobility and comfort. Furthermore, the naturally occurring Vitamin D promotes optimal calcium absorption for strong bones and teeth, whilst Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune system function, and the structural integrity of the skin.
Contraindications (Safety Warnings): Hypersensitivity or allergy to fish, fish oils, or any of the softgel excipients. It is contraindicated in patients with documented hypercalcaemia, hypervitaminosis A, or hypervitaminosis D. Because omega-3 fatty acids can inhibit platelet aggregation, this supplement must be used with extreme caution in patients with active bleeding disorders or those concurrently taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (such as warfarin or low-dose aspirin), and should be discontinued prior to scheduled surgeries. Pregnant and breastfeeding women must consult a physician before use, as excessive intake of preformed Vitamin A (retinol) can be teratogenic to the developing foetus.
Side Effects (Adverse Reactions): Generally well-tolerated at the recommended daily dose. Potential mild adverse effects are primarily gastrointestinal, including a fishy aftertaste (eructation), indigestion, nausea, and mild diarrhoea or loose stools. Prolonged excessive consumption exceeding the recommended daily allowance can lead to Vitamin A or D toxicity (hypervitaminosis), which may manifest as headaches, unexplained fatigue, bone pain, or symptoms of hypercalcaemia.
Active / Nutritional Information: The active formulation provides 1000 mg of pure Cod Liver Oil per serving of one softgel, naturally supplying 510 mcg of Vitamin A, 4.25 mcg of Vitamin D, 1 g of total fat, and 10 calories, formulated alongside non-active excipients including gelatin, glycerin, purified water, and mixed tocopherols (as an antioxidant preservative).
Instructions for Use / Dosage: For oral administration. Adults are typically advised to take one softgel daily. It should be swallowed whole with water and is best taken with a meal to optimise fat-soluble vitamin absorption and minimise gastrointestinal discomfort. Always consult the physical package labelling for exact manufacturer dosage guidelines or follow the direct advice of a healthcare professional.
