It is almost the same, but cod liver oil contains vitamin A and D which fish oils don't, this means one may need to exceed the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D in order to obtain therapeutic amounts of EPA and DHA from Cod liver oil. A common way to benefit from both oils is to take cod liver oil during the winter, and fish oil during the summer in order to avoid an overdose of vitamin D because our bodies naturally produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
