Red face Okay...

I am sorry about that...

I thought you were taking the Now product with another one.
The NOW product is a very concentrated cod liver oil product.

On my bottle, the fish liver oil is separated by a heavy blue/black bar,
from the other two ingredients, indicating it is an ingredient "not established
for daily value". (it has a cross in the dose column.)

I have used this product for about two years, but I don't use it every day
of the year. Only during the coldest winter months. One bottle lasts me a LONG time.

A typical cod liver oil product would have 1000 IU of A and 400 IU of D, in comparison.

With time you may reach a "ceiling" for A and not require it so heavily. So just be watchful for that, check out the list of symptoms I gave you, and get
liver tests every so often. High dose Vitamin A retinol can raise intracranial pressure in some people, and headache would be the first signs of that.

It does however, lead to very nice skin.
