When is the best time to take fish liver oil?
The best time to take cod liver oil can be determined based on individual circumstances and needs.
1. Before or after meals: Taking cod liver oil before meals may avoid interference from food and thus enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. However, for individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, it is recommended to take it after meals to reduce irritation to the gastrointestinal mucosa.
2. During the day: Taking cod liver oil during the day, especially in the morning or late morning, allows it to work more effectively. Since cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, taking it in the morning helps improve calcium absorption from food throughout the day.
3. Administration in infants and young children: For infants, it is generally recommended to administer cod liver oil half an hour after feeding to ensure optimal absorption.
