I know that cod liver oil is supposed to help eyesight. Has anyone seen any improvement in theirs after taking it?

Not really Rachel, but I believe that most people don't take large enough doses to get the full benefits. The Weston A. Price website might have more info on this.

I haven't noticed that...but I had eye surgery. We feel it instantly in our gums and the firmness and comfort of our teeth.

Can't help you with that, Mary Sue. I rely on how it works, not where it comes from. It works reasonably well but I found that if you use it and then are working indoors the eye redness can return. If you use it and go outside and stay outside for long time it works well.

I don't know about brighten dull eyes. I have macular degeeration. It hasn't improved my eye sight but Eye Promise has made it stable.

Hi Isabel, the simple answer to your question is yes. The long answer to your question starts with a question, why would you? To heat the butter oil will break down the nutrient components in the oil and diminish the health benefits of the oil. The oil is best consumed at room temperature and with cod liver oil for the most synergistic effect.Hope that helps. :-)

When using the word "better" you need to define paramaters. A naturally harvested cod liver oil, Carlson for example, is tested for mercury content and many other very dangerous chemicals that have found their way into most fish. Cod liver oil is higher in vitamin D content, the lack of which has recently been associated with MS, and several other very bad afflictions. On the less severe list of afflictions is joint pain, a feeling of just feeling crappy, arthritis-like pains in the back, and so forth. One of the better medical websites maintained by an MD who has been associated with vitamins and minerals recommends 2000 IU's of vitamin D per day but unfortunately, all this vitamin crap you find on the big chain store shelves is synthetic - which means you system AT BEST is only absorbing ten percent of what you take of the synthetic crapola. The Carlson cod liver oil is produced in Norway and even though a teaspoon only contains 400 IUs of D, it is very pure so your system absorbs it all. Unfortunately, to preserve the cod liver oil's freshness, vitamin A is added, which means that every teaspoonful of codliver oil also has about twice as many IUs of vitamin A. Excess amount of vitamin A can be hazardous to your liver. So, we can say that the naturally harvested cod liver oil is "better" because it has no contaminants and is far more easily absorbed by your system, but the higher content of vitamin A it contains to preserve freshness is not so good, which makes it less better? I am afraid of fish oil because most contain a lot of mercury, and purity has always been in question.

I did a lot of research on black cumin seed oil before I started taking it. My husband is doing great since he has been taking it.

I do not mix my vitamins. My eye doctor told me that not all Omega-3 are the same. It has been sometime, since I did the research to find the correct Omega-3 supplement. I can not remember if I was looking for EPA or DHA, but this is the only one I found that had all of the requirements. Yes, my eye sight has improved, along with my skin. There is no flavor at all, it has no after taste. That is coming from someone that everyone calls: "The Princess and the Pea". Yes, Yes, I am very picky texture and taste. As for your question about vitamin D, my vitamin D leave runs low on a consistent basis, if I do not take 5000iu Vitamin D3 everyday. My doctor checks my blood once a year for my vitamin and mineral leaves.

I believe it helps. I have floaters and cataracts. I find the product to be very soothing and seems to relieve eye strain. I stare at a computer 8 hrs a day and this product seems to work more so than any OTC products I have found. I would buy it again.

L-Lysine, which was reccomended by my vet is the main ingredient although at a much lower amount then what my vet had suggested. It only has 250 mg and the stuff my vet sold was more expensive but also contained a lot more L-lysing. I thought it helped her eye problems at first but now I wondering if the issue is more seasonal. The other ingredients are chicken liver flavor, starch,water, soy lecithin,canola oil, brewer's yeast, ground malted barley, ground rye groats, oat meal, calcium sulfate, maltodextrin, sodium alginate, sorbic acid(preservative), propionic acid(Preservatiive), and mixed tocopherol blend(Preservative) Good Luck!

The list of indredients do not list any heavy metals. I have taken one pill a day and found that it did help my eyes. I would suggest that you consult your ophthalmologist if you are in doubt concerning the usage of this suppliment.

I've been on that stuff since childhood, courtesy of my grandparents who are still religious in taking it. I think it was a staple source of vitamin D and omega 3s in the past, and it has gone down in popularity due to all the new choices on the market. However, CLO is probably one of the best sources of fish oils. Carlson is perhaps the best out there. I tried to cut costs many times by buying cheaper alternatives even from local health shops, nothing came close to Carlson's CLO. Enjoy - to your good health.

I had the same question when I was ordering because there wasn't much info about the difference on Amazon. You might find details on the Nordic Naturals site.I wound up ordering Omega Vision and replenish when I run out. It has made a difference in my eyes as well as my joints. Other brands can make the joints ache in the morning. This brand does not and is actually soothing for eyestrain and overall comfort.

Yes, NOW makes it in 10,000. You can buy it here on Amazon. I've taken 2 of the 10,000 for years and am switching to the 25,000 units. My eyes are very sensitive to light if I don't take Vitamin A from fish oils. Vitamin A from vegetables does not work for me. I get great results from NOW's fish oil Vitamin A.

I doubt these will help you. They are a vitamin supplement containing a couple of substances that promote eye health. I've never noticed any effect on eye moisture from taking them.

I have pretty this and fine skin around my eyes and seems to be very helpful. I have just purchased again as I believe it does make a difference 9at least for me anyway). I hope this is helpful...

As far as I am concerned, EyePromise Restore is the best product on the market to restore the macula. My numbers went from .05, which is extremely low, to .49, normal being .50, in 18 mos. My eye care provider and I are so very happy with the results and I cannot recommend it more highly. Thank you for your interest. I wish you the best.

It didn't help with mine at all. I did find something helped though and could feel it immediately, called deli via awakening eye gel. Not sure if sold on amazon. But great results and cheaper :)
