Is cod liver oil safe for children?
Not only is our cod liver oil safe for children, but children in Iceland have been taking it for hundreds of years. In fact, U.S. heart associations and the National Institute of Health all recommend the omega-3 fatty acids found in cod liver oil for children from 2 years and older. The recommended dosage for children 5-7 years old is half a teaspoon per day (aprox. 2.5 grams containing 382 i.u. Of vitamin A and 92 i.u. Of vitamin D.) Children find our fruit flavor most appealing.
