T1 LOVES the taste of cod liver oil. She now eats the Seven Seas capsules and loves biting into it and squeezing all that smelly fish oil out. Yuck! She loves it so much that she keeps asking me for it. But is it safe for kids?

I know that cod liver oil is very powerful in warding off the flu as I have tested it in winters – the winters when I took it regularly, I’d be fine and when I didn’t, disaster. So I totally believe in cod liver oil.

I remember when I was pregnant, I was not allowed to eat it. Vitamin A for fetuses have a limit. So I wondered then just how much kids could really take, since their brains are still developing. Technically…..

I asked the Hubs to Google for me to find out if the cod liver oil T1 was taking was safe and how much really could she eat in a day. After 10 minutes, I did not hear back and when I queried, he said he was still looking. I gave him some hints on what key words to use. After 20 minutes, I still didn’t have the answer I wanted. Surely it wasn’t possible that he couldn’t find that piece of information on the net? But he claimed that all the information for Vitamin A was for adults. Hmm….

After our party this evening, the Vitamin A dilemma still niggled at me so I decided to do my own research instead. At first attempt, I got my answers on the first page of Google. So ladies and gentleman, the recommended daily dose of Vitamin A for your 6 year old is 1667 IU per day. Each capsule of Seven Seas cod liver oil contains 600IU of Vitamin A so I guess we’re good to go. She doesn’t take any other supplements but I make sure she eats a balanced meal throughout the week to get her RDAs. Well, I try…..I put it on the table but she doesn’t necessarily eat everything.

As long as she’s healthy and happy, I suppose.

I, myself, am not a pill popper. I don’t take supplements. I don’t even take the meds the Doctors give me. Any pill that is sworn to make me smarter, more beautiful, slimmer, taller *fill in the blanks*, just goes to waste. I’d much rather eat the nutrients from its fresh source any day. Why pop pills when you can savour the flavour???
