Analysis

Retinyl palmitate supplies 1,250 IU of vitamin A, while cholecalciferol provides a modest amount of vitamin D3. A softgel is an appropriate delivery format for these fat-soluble nutrients.

The product name refers to EPA and DHA, but the supplied ingredient data do not state either amount. The cod liver oil quantity is also recorded as 415 mmg, an apparent unit issue that should be checked against the package label.

One softgel per serving and a long supply make routine use easy. It is better viewed as light cod liver oil and vitamin A support than as a verified high-strength omega-3 or vitamin D product.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking light cod liver oil supplementation
  • People comfortable with fish-derived softgels
  • Users who want a one-unit serving
Best for
  • Basic vitamin A support
  • Low-dose cod liver oil use
  • Simple daily softgel routines

Pros

  • Uses vitamin D3
  • Identifies vitamin A as retinyl palmitate
  • Provides an oil-based delivery format
  • Includes 100 servings

Cons

  • Does not state EPA or DHA amounts
  • Shows an unclear unit for cod liver oil
  • Provides only a modest vitamin D amount

Warnings

  • Preformed vitamin A can accumulate with other retinol-containing products; total intake matters especially during pregnancy planning or pregnancy.
  • Cod liver oil is fish derived and is unsuitable for people with a relevant fish allergy.

Nutrient quality

75 High impact

Retinyl palmitate and vitamin D3 are delivered in an oil-based softgel that supports absorption. The disclosed vitamin amounts are conservative and avoid obvious excess.

Ingredient transparency

81 Highest impact

Every listed active has an amount, although EPA and DHA are not separately disclosed. No proprietary blend hides the stated active doses; daily directions and a complete inactive-ingredient list are not supplied.

Customer satisfaction

64 Moderate impact

The supplied rating is strong, with limited volume behind it. Detailed feedback themes are absent, leaving repeated complaints and purpose fit uncertain.

Value for money

77 High impact

The oil-based format and low cost support practical basic value. The low vitamin D amount weakens value per effective serving for targeted use.

Report overview
Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) · 1250 IU OverallScore66
C- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB+ Value

Cod liver oil supplies an excellent lipid delivery matrix, but the vitamin A is entirely preformed retinyl palmitate. The 1,250 IU dose is modest for focused support and remains well below the preformed upper limit. Good cost efficiency and added marine lipids improve practical value.

View ingredientView products
Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) · 135 IU OverallScore59
A Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Vitamin D is supplied as D3, the form generally preferred for maintaining vitamin D status. The 135 IU serving falls below the preferred daily range. The softgel provides lipid-based delivery, but independent quality verification is absent and dose-adjusted value is weak.

Carotenoid Complex

Country Life
<p>A broad oil-based carotenoid profile provides more purposeful vitamin A, vision, and skin support than the original modest retinyl palmitate amount. The beta-carotene amount is very high for routine use, especially for current or former smokers, and vitamin D is absent.</p>
88 Performance

D3 2000 IU

Nature Made
<p>A clearly disclosed 2,000 IU cholecalciferol softgel provides substantially stronger focused vitamin D support. It omits vitamin A and cod liver oil, so it suits users whose main goal is vitamin D rather than combined fat-soluble nutrients.</p>

Norwegian Cod Liver Oil 1250 mg Fresh Orange Flavor

AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Omega
<p>A larger cod liver oil amount supplies more vitamin A and vitamin D3 with natural vitamin E in a lipid base. EPA and DHA are still not disclosed, and the preformed vitamin A amount should be considered alongside diet and other supplements.</p>

Liquid Vitamin D3 Drops 1000 IU Natural Citrus Flavor

Bluebonnet
<p>A clearly identified 1,000 IU vitamin D3 serving offers much stronger focused vitamin D support at very low ongoing cost. Vitamin A and cod liver oil are absent, so it is a cheaper choice only when vitamin D is the priority.</p>
82 Budget

D3 Supplement 400 IU

Spring Valley
<p>A simple 400 IU vitamin D3 serving costs less and is easier to assess than a cod liver oil product with undisclosed EPA and DHA. It provides no vitamin A or omega-3 fats and remains a modest vitamin D option.</p>

Norwegian Cod Liver Oil 1000 mg Fresh Orange Flavor

AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Omega
<p>A larger cod liver oil amount with vitamin A, vitamin D3, and natural vitamin E comes at lower ongoing cost. EPA and DHA remain undisclosed, and the preformed vitamin A amount requires care with other vitamin A sources.</p>

Liquid Vitamin D3 Drops 2000 IU Natural Citrus Flavor

Bluebonnet
<p>Liquid vitamin D3 provides a practical focused amount with exceptional serving value and clear active disclosure. Vitamin A and omega-3 fats are absent, so it is a better-value choice only for the vitamin D goal.</p>

Super Strength D3-2000 IU

Nature's Bounty
<p>A straightforward 2,000 IU cholecalciferol serving offers many economical doses and clearer vitamin D support. It does not replace the vitamin A or cod liver oil components, but avoids uncertainty about EPA and DHA content.</p>

Norwegian Cod Liver Oil 1000 mg Fresh Lemon Flavor

AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Omega
<p>Cod liver oil, preformed vitamin A, vitamin D3, and natural vitamin E provide broader fat-soluble nutrient coverage than a vitamin D-only product. Serving value is reasonable, but EPA and DHA amounts remain unknown and total preformed vitamin A requires care.</p>
