I was using both because CLO has the naturally occurring vitamins A&D, while fish oil has more omega-3 per serving. But I've cut back some on my supplementation, especially since I don't take in any sources of major omega-6s like vegetable oils or grains. My meats are now grass-fed/pastured, so that's not a source of unnatural quantities of omega-6 either. Hope that helps Scott Carla, I only use CLO now.

Why not just one? Also, does the brand of oil matter? Thanks in advance! Why do you supplement with both cod liver oil and fish oil? Why not just one? Also, does the brand of oil matter?

I do appreciate your response and your help. I'm still not sure about the omega-3 levels, but I know eating fish can't be bad and I got her to try tilapia this past weekend- It's a start - thanks again!

I have two big projects I'm working on along with just starting a new job. Perhaps that's something you could put together and guest post? ;) Scott, what I read from it is that they used red blood cells to measure the levels of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. I don't know that it has anything to do with iron deficiency or that it can help. Perhaps someone else has some ideas there. As for getting her to eat fish, white fish like tilapia, while lower in n-3 than something like salmon, are pretty mild fish. Maybe starting her on something like that to get her used to the idea before springing the good stuff like salmon on her? Cheers Scott Sarena, Might be awhile before I can work on the article you asked for. I have two big projects I’m working on along with just starting a new job.

This is very interesting. So if I understand you right - the fish helps with red blood cell levels. My girlfriends blood has an iron deficiency, I wonder if oily fish would be beneficial. The only problem would be - how do I get her to eat fish. Very nice blog! This is very interesting. So if I understand you right - the fish helps with red blood cell levels.
