Each soft gelatin capsule is designed to provide these nutrients in a convenient, easy-to-swallow form for adults and older children. It is generally taken by people looking to supplement gaps in their diet rather than to treat a diagnosed medical condition.

How to use Seacod Cod Liver Oil Capsule
Adults may typically take 2 to 3 capsules twice daily, or as advised by a healthcare professional, ideally with meals to reduce the chance of stomach discomfort. Children above 12 years may be given 2 capsules twice daily, but a doctor's guidance is recommended before giving supplements to children. The capsules should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or broken open.
How Seacod Cod Liver Oil Capsule works
Cod liver oil naturally contains omega-3 fatty acids, primarily EPA and DHA, along with fat-soluble vitamins A and D that are extracted along with the oil. Once absorbed in the gut, these fatty acids and vitamins are taken up by body tissues where they contribute to normal cell membrane function, vision, and calcium regulation. Regular intake as part of a balanced diet helps maintain the baseline levels of these nutrients that the body needs for everyday function.
