The Solgar Cod Liver Oil is a dietary supplement in soft capsules, with shark liver oil from deep cold sea fish. Each capsule provides 462mg of shark liver oil, providing 375µg RE vitamin A (47% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance) and 3.4µg vitamin D (68% of the RDA). The package contains 100 soft capsules.
It is aimed at adults who do not often consume fatty fish and want a natural dietary source of vitamins A and D, especially during the months with little sunshine. It is not suitable for vegetarians or those with fish allergies.
Most fish oils on the market come from the flesh of small pelagic fish and mainly contain omega-3 fatty acids. Shark liver oil is extracted from the liver of the shark, an organ in which the fish stores fat-soluble vitamins. Therefore, its composition is different, as it also carries significant amounts of vitamins A and D along with the fatty acids. Historically, this was the reason shark liver oil was widely used in countries in the North, where sun exposure is limited for much of the year.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble and its main source for humans is the synthesis in the skin under the influence of sunlight, which decreases in winter, in a sedentary lifestyle or with the use of sunscreen. Vitamin A, on the other hand, is found in animal foods as retinol and in plant foods as provitamin. Since both are fat-soluble, they are better absorbed when they coexist with fat, which is why taking it with a meal is a reasonable choice.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, shark liver oil is described as a natural source of vitamins A and D, with the following points highlighted:
The above statements are attributed to the producer and in this case correspond to approved claims for vitamins A and D. The omega-3 fatty acids naturally contained in the liver oil do not reach the amounts required for the corresponding approved claims, so no claim is made for them.
It suits adults with low fish consumption, those who spend most of the day indoors and have limited sun exposure, as well as older people interested in taking vitamin D in combination with the calcium from their diet. It also suits those who prefer a natural source of vitamins over a synthetic preparation. It is not suitable for vegans and people with fish allergies. It is a dietary supplement and does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment prescribed by a doctor.
