    Since I started taking FLAX SEED OIL my hair is shiny and thicker. I stay away from cod liver oil because of all the talk of mercury in the big ocean fish.

    Cod liver oil was used as a source of vitamens A and D before a person could get it in a tablet or a capsule. It smells and tastes awful. Rubbish

    I've had gastric bypass surgery, so I take two cod liver oil pills daily. I dont' use it for my hair though--I take it as a nutritional supplement to get my daily recommended amount of vitamins A & D. If you want something to help your hair and finger nails, try biotin. I've taken that too, and it really does work. :)

    That became the morning ritual as quickly as I got here downstairs contained in the morning. i might stand over the kitchen sign up, letting the warmth furnace air billow below my flannel nightgown. mom might supply me a tablespoon of that adverse tasting stuff, and hand me a small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It became consistently so good with the pulp further. And it washed away the nasty flavor of the oil. I additionally had to take a spoonful of a few blood construction syrup that became additionally unsightly. yet I purely had to take a teaspoon of that. In those days, we did no longer have youngsters' supplements, so the cod fish oil became the perfect element our mothers ought to purchase. i did no longer see youngsters supplements, until my sisters who have been 9 years youthful, began to take the chewable style with the Flintstones figures. They in no way had to take Cod LIver Oil their total existence. fortunate them!
