For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Hi, but you can get too much vitamin D from the cod liver oil, your body makes vit D from sunlight so if you are exposed to the sun and take too much cod liver oil you stand a chance to overdose on vit D and if you have low thyoid function your chance is much higher and vit D is one of the vits you do NOT want to overdose on.
note this is only a problem with cod, halibut and i think one other, but if you take fish oils read the labels for vit D content and be carefull.
You do have to be careful about overdoing it with Vit A also. Many cod liver oil suppliments have it added and lots of omegas do to. That is why the omega for children has it taken out. Too much Vit A can be harmful to your Liver, and can be harmful to the developing baby if you take too much of it when pregnant. Hence the restrictions on eating Liver in pregnancy also (same reason)
