Hi Srinivbas - I can't give you an exact dosage of cod liver oil as the oil can come in a variety of different dosage amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends healthy adults eat a variety of fish at least twice a week. People with documented heart disease are advised to consume 1 gram of EPA & DHA from fish or fish oil supplements. For people with high triglycerides (blood fats), 2 to 4 grams of EPA + DHA per day, in the form of capsules and under a physician?s care. Cod liver oil may also contain vitamins A & D, depending on the brand. There are Recommended Daily Allowances for these vitamins. The FDA recommends adult females, up to 50 year age, get 400 iu of vitamin D and 2310 iu of vitamin A. You will have to look at the specific brand of cod liver oil capsules you will be taking to determine how much omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A & D you will get per capsule. From there you can determine how much you'll need. Please remember that this is not to be construed as medical advice. Please consult your physician before using any nutritional supplement that may affect any medications you're currently prescribed. Thank you for submitting your question and I hope this information is helpful to you.
