Benefits Of cod liver pills?!

1 teaspoon provides 100% of your daily vitamin D needs, and 80% of your Vitamin A requirements. Both are fat-soluble vitamins so they can accumulate in your body as opposed to water-soluble that flush out of your body.

Be careful to just take the daily dose - no more - so that you do not overdose.

Definitely take the pills over drinking a teaspoon. If you put it in drink, it overwhelms the rest of the smoothie - so pill form is better.

Bottom line: if you can eat food sources over the pills/oil, eat it. Always best to get it in the natural form and then you avoid toxicity issues.
