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.

This product only contains cod liver oil, there are no other ingredients. Cod liver oil naturally contains Vitamin A, around 4100 units per tablespoon. Cod liver oil also naturally contains Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.

I have been purchasing these eyedrops for more than 1 year for my 72 year old mother, who has small cataract in both eyes. Her doctor was anticipating surgery. I found these drops and after using them for 1 year the drops did not dissolve the cataract, but the cataracts had also not grown; therefore, the doctor decided to postpone surgery since they remained small. Along with taking these drops 2-3 times a day, she also eats a diet rich in spinach and other leafy green vegetables. We believe the drops helped, but I cannot guarantee the same for everyone.

It appears to be. I've been using this supplement for about a year and I've recommended it to many. So far I believe it to be the best astaxanthin out there as it is harvested in Hawaiian waters and I personally have noticed a difference with my eyes--less floaters. I hope this helps. Many blessings!!

I take fish oil and the flax oil-I have dry eye-the eye doctor recommended taking both because of the high lignan in the flax oil.

This is not cod liver oil. Barlean's has a separate product line for cod liver oil. This fish oil comes from the whole fish (anchovy, sardine, and mackerel) rather than just the liver, and contains ascorbic acid, rosemary extract, ascorbyl palmitate, soy lecithin and d-alpha tocopherol. These act as an anti-oxidant ensuring the product is fresh. Ascorbic acid is vitamin C.

You've probably seen a few articles indicating that fish oil could help reduce the signs of aging. Don't confuse this with specific wrinkle fighting and reduction of bags below the eyes. From anecdotal experience, I would say, look elsewhere.There's still debate over the health benefits and cons as well as study about dosages because everything you put into your body can have both positive and negative effects. Best advice is don't overdo.

If you visit the cod liver oil page at carlsonlabs.com, you can see that it is free of citrus, preservatives, milk, gluten corn, soy and something else. I am completly allergic to all of this products and I have been taking cod liver oil from carlson without a problem.

I am just beginning to get cataracts but I have noticed a difference. The cataract is more opaque than before and narrower also. I would definitely recommend trying these drops. I have noticed no adverse effects except some drying around my eyes. I feel like my vision is clearer too.

Hi Michelle, I ended up not purchasing his product due to the high number of negative reviews. I opted for just using regular castor oil I purchased at Walgreen's. I apply a small amount of the oil to my fingers then onto my eyelashes and eyebrows about an hour before I go to bed every-other-night. I've noticed since using the castor oil (about 6 months now) that my eyelashes are longer and healthier. Also, my right eyebrow finally started growing back in as well and I actually had to tweeze it for the first time in over a year. An added an unexpected benefit: I don't suffer from dry-eye as much, either. (FYI: I'm 51 years old, and going through the "change" but looking at more natural options, rather than things that contain questionable chemicals to deal with my "deficiencies." GOOD LUCK TO YOU!)

Not at all, perhaps the only fish oil I have taken that does not have an after taste or makes me belch with a fishy tasate. I highly recommend.

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 don't use the fish oil for memory improvement, but instead for general health. Fish oil is supposed to be very helpful in cases of arthritis, but also is supposed to have considerable other health benefits, possible cognitive as well. I take one tablespoon a day along with a couple of nuts right afterwards to get rid of the fishy taste.

I have used this in the past and found that it did not have enough D and A so I switched to Arctic D cod liver oil. The Nordic Naturals is an excellent brand name to use.

None as far as I know. I agree with Kay. It not only brightens the whites of your eyes, but if you read the ingredients, you'll see it has a mild analgesic in it for burning & itching. It will stain fabric & even face. You don't need much & keep a Q-tip available for if there's a little spill over. Once you get the hang of it, you will be a fellow devotee!!!
