Size Name:250 Soft Gel|Amazon Verified Purchase
Carlson's formula for these appears to have changed since I bought them earlier in the year (~March 2010). Label no longer says the Vitamin A & Vitamin D are "(from cod liver oil)", and the amounts of them are higher. This indicates to me they are supplementing artificial vitamins into the cod liver oil. This degrades the nutritional value. I returned mine back to Amazon.

I got this because a friend told me that it would help me heal better/faster after some fractures and surgery to my leg and I think that it contributed to my recovery, and when I used the oil from the gelcaps directly on cuts/scars - it was amazing how quickly they healed over! I keep using it because my dentist says that she can see an improvement in my gums. And, it has omega 3's too. My cholesterol levels are always good when the dr tests them, so there's enough "evidence" for me to know that taking cod liver oil daily will help my overall health. I use this brand because the cod liver oil from Norway & Iceland is the best quality.
If you're wondering whether or not to try it - I'd suggest that you take it for a few months before your next cholesterol check and see if your numbers improve. Also, anyone with concerns about their teeth & gums would do well to take it -- and if you aren't concerned about your gums, remember that the bacteria in your mouth can cause/inflame issues with the heart - so why take the chance?

Size Name:250 Soft Gel
Here are the supplement Facts per soft gel for Cod Liver Oil "Lightly Lemon" and the Cod Liver Oil with "Low Vitamin A":
Vitamin A: 150 IU (3% Daily Value)
Vitamin D: 80 IU (20% Daily Value)
Vitamin E: 2 IU (7% Daily Value)
Omega-3: 230mg
EPA: 85mg
DHA: 100mg
If you buy the Carlson Cod Liver Oil "Super 1000mg", be aware that it has high contents of Vitamins A, D, and E which can be toxic if you take too much:
Vitamin A: 2000 IU (40% Daily Value)
Vitamin D: 250 IU (63% Daily Value)
Vitamin E: 10 IU (33% Daily Value)
Omega-3: 240mg
EPA: 90mg
DHA: 120mg
I believe the "Lightly Lemon" taste the best plus it has low Vitamin A and it gives you about the same amount of Omega-3. If you buy the "Super 1000mg" which Carlson recommends to take 5 soft gels per day, that means you will have 200% Vitamin A which is not good for your health. In my opinion, by swallowing the soft gel with water might be better than chewing the soft gel because the Cod Liver Oil is better absorbed in your stomach instead of the mouth.
Also on the bottom of the bottle says best used by 2015, I bought this in 2011, so expiration is about 4 to 5 years.

So so
The label states:!000 mg. Lovely. Isn't it ?
But,only 90 mg. of EPA and 120 mg.of DHA.
The minimum of what counts.
