From my own research, the only issue with Cod Liver Oil is its Vitamin A content. Some people are more sensitive to high doses than others, but it is probably not an issue for most people. You are right, it is much cheaper than other types of fish oil or krill oil.

Yes, I've researched that too, I'm ok with it as I take less than most people to get a bene'fish'al effect.

I'm not a mega dose fan.

I don't think any of us need to take as much as would cause Vit. A problems.

With Cod Liver Oil, a little goes a long way, and "that's a good thing"'.

I was naturally prejudice against old fashioned Cod Liver Oil , it turned out I could really feel the difference.

I’m curious, how does it make you feel better - joints, well being, or can you tell a difference in your vision when you take it?

There is AMD in my family (very elderly father) and take flaxseed oil and lutien, but they don’t effect how I feel that I can tell. Then again I have been taking it regularly for a long time...

I feel slipperyer, really, my skin feels smother, etc..

And, yes, I can see real good, it's almost embarrassing.

Less pain, yes, almost none.

It's all good, to use a term the youngsters are fond of.

One other thing, I like to swim, I think it helps me there as well, in that I can stretch better in my strokes, and faster too!
