Cod liver oil

[CalistaLicious]

Hi all, just to check is it safe to take cod liver oil daily? Saw in some forum that during week 10 have to avoid taking vit A.
It it true?

According to me Cod Liver Oil is derived from the liver of Cod fish. It is rich in nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Omega-3, EicosaPentaenoic Acid, DocosaHexaenoic Acid. 1-2 teaspoons of cod liver oil daily can help to prevent serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain & kidney problems.

Yes it's good stuff but we're advised to avoid it during pregnancy as the fish's liver contains a form of vitamin A that pregnant women should not take. Other fish oils are fine
