Description
NOW Cod Liver Oil 650 mg is a traditional fish oil softgel for anyone who wants a daily source of omega-3 fatty acids along with naturally occurring vitamins A and D. The oil is sourced from cod caught in Iceland and Norway.
Each softgel provides 650 mg of cod liver oil delivering naturally occurring omega-3 EPA and DHA, along with 750 mcg of vitamin A (83% DV) and 6.75 mcg (270 IU) of vitamin D (34% DV). Each softgel also supplies 5 calories and 0.5 g of total fat.
The softgel shell is made from bovine gelatin (BSE-free), glycerin, and water. NOW tests this oil for PCBs, dioxins, mercury, and heavy metals, and manufactures it in an Intertek GMP certified facility; it holds Halal and Kosher certifications and is free of dairy, egg, nut, and soy, and made without gluten.
