PATAR Cod Liver Oil 60 Capsules (Vitamin A & D)

PATAR Cod Liver Oil is a dietary supplement extracted from cod fish liver — a natural source providing Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) in a single capsule. It is manufactured by PATAR LAB Co., Ltd. (est. 1974), a Thai health product manufacturer with over 50 years of experience.

How Vitamin A (Retinol) works: Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, particularly in low-light conditions (visual cycle: retinal + opsin = rhodopsin). It is also critical for cell growth and differentiation, maintaining mucous membranes and skin integrity, and supporting immune system function.

How Vitamin D (Calciferol) works: The Vitamin D in cod liver oil is D3 (Cholecalciferol), which the body converts to the active form calcitriol. Calcitriol stimulates calcium-binding proteins in the small intestine, enhancing calcium and phosphorus absorption — vital for bone strength, dental health, and muscle function.

How Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) works: EPA and DHA are key structural components of cell membranes in the brain, eyes, and heart. They help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular function.

PATAR Cod Liver Oil supports the following based on its dietary supplement label:

• Vision: Vitamin A supports normal vision, particularly in low-light conditions, reducing the risk of night blindness
• Bones and teeth: Vitamin D promotes calcium and phosphorus absorption, contributing to bone density and strength
• Immunity: Both Vitamin A and Vitamin D support normal immune system function
• Heart and brain: Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) from cod liver oil supports cardiovascular and brain function
• Skin and mucous membranes: Vitamin A helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes

Suitable for those who want to support vision, bone health, immunity, and heart function simultaneously — especially those with limited sun exposure or low fish consumption.

How to take PATAR Cod Liver Oil per label instructions:

• Adults: Take 1-2 capsules daily with or after food
• Drink at least 1 glass of water
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage — Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that can accumulate in the body

Best timing: Take with or after a meal containing some fat, as Vitamin A, D, and Omega-3 are fat-soluble nutrients — dietary fat enhances absorption.

Precautions:
• Do not combine with other Vitamin A or D supplements without calculating total daily intake
• Keep out of reach of children
• If you miss a dose, take it at the next meal as usual — do not double the dose
• Note: This is a dietary supplement and cannot replace a balanced and varied diet.

PATAR Cod Liver Oil is generally well-tolerated at recommended doses, but the following side effects may occur.

Common side effects
• Fishy aftertaste and fishy burps — the most common side effect of cod liver oil. Can be reduced by taking with food or refrigerating capsules before use
• Mild nausea or stomach discomfort — usually occurs when taken on an empty stomach; take with food
• Loose stools in some people — typically resolves as the body adjusts

Side effects from excess Vitamin A (Hypervitaminosis A)
Chronic intake of Vitamin A above the tolerable upper limit (more than 10,000 IU/day long-term) may cause:
• Headache, nausea, hair loss, dry skin
• Bone and joint pain
• Liver abnormalities with prolonged excessive use

If you experience any concerning side effects, stop use and consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Contraindications
• Do not use if allergic to fish or any ingredient in the product
• Do not combine with Isotretinoin (acne medication) — both are high in Vitamin A, risking Hypervitaminosis A
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage on the label

Special precautions
• Pregnant women (important): High doses of Vitamin A from cod liver oil can be teratogenic (may cause birth defects). Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy must consult a doctor before taking cod liver oil and should not exceed 3,000 mcg RAE/day of Vitamin A total.
• Liver disease patients: Consult a doctor first, as the liver stores Vitamin A
• Anticoagulant users (Warfarin): Omega-3 may potentiate anticoagulant effects — consult your doctor and monitor INR
• Those already taking Vitamin D supplements: Calculate total daily intake to stay within tolerable upper limits
• Keep out of reach of children

Note:
PATAR Cod Liver Oil is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. If you have a medical condition requiring treatment, please consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and care.

Many people confuse Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil — both come from fish but differ significantly:

• Cod Liver Oil (this product): Extracted from the liver of cod fish. Naturally provides high amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) in one capsule. Ideal for those wanting to support vision, immunity, bones, and heart simultaneously.
• Fish Oil: Extracted from the body (flesh) of fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel). High in Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) but generally contains little to no Vitamin A or D. Best for those seeking Omega-3 specifically.

Simple rule:
• Want Vitamin A+D+Omega-3 in one → choose PATAR Cod Liver Oil (this product)
• Want high Omega-3 without extra Vitamin A/D → browse the Fish Oil collection at Intimo Life

Safe to combine (monitor total intake):

• Calcium: Can be taken together — Vitamin D in cod liver oil actually enhances calcium absorption, making them a good combination
• Magnesium: Can be taken together, no concerning interactions
• Vitamin C or B complex: Safe to combine — water-soluble vitamins do not accumulate

Use with caution or consult a doctor:

• Vitamin A from other sources (Retinol, high-dose Beta-carotene): Calculate total daily intake to stay within the Tolerable Upper Intake Level
• Vitamin D supplements (D3 or D2): Monitor total intake — generally do not exceed 4,000 IU/day for most adults
• Warfarin / Anticoagulants: Omega-3 may potentiate anticoagulant effects — consult your doctor and monitor INR
• Isotretinoin: Do not combine — risk of Hypervitaminosis A

If unsure about drug interactions, always consult a pharmacist before use.
