Raena Morgan: What about taking cod liver oil? You’d mentioned that?
Dr. Jorn Dyerberg: Cod liver oil is a fine thing. When I was a kid, I always got it. My mother
forced it into me. Not very many like [it]—except for the Norwegians like
cod liver oil. But we didn’t get it for being smart and getting omega 3s.
We got it for avoiding rickets. That was due to the content of vitamin D
and I would say vitamin D is a very essential component and the intake of
vitamin D is far too low, to so I would strongly say that cod liver oil is a
fine supplementation. But I will not believe that very many will follow
that advice—
Raena Morgan: Probably not.
Dr. Jorn Dyerberg: Due to the—no, probably not—due to the taste. So, the vitamin D you
should have from another source and then you can get concentrated fish
oils, which can be delivered in capsules. In that respect, only 1 or 2
capsules a day will correspond to the level, but I must stress, as a
nutritionist, it’s a nutritional issue and my advice is to increase the amount
of fatty fish consumption. And only if you don’t do that, you can consider
supplementation.
Raena Morgan: Okay, well, thank you Dr. Dyerberg.
Dr. Jorn Dyerberg: Thank you.
