Fermented Cod Liver Oil
I'v been taking green pastures fermented cod liver oil for about 6 weeks, But im unsure of the saftey of it during pregnancy. The company themselves recommend taking during preg, but it has Vit A and Vit D in it and I have read that Vit A is very bad for pregnancy.
Does anyone take this and know if its okay?

Hmmm...I'm not sure, but I'd definitely be careful...A,D,E &K are all fat based vitamins, so they stay in your system longer.

I personally strongly advise against cod liver oil because of the vit. A. There are other people like the Mercola folks or the Weston Price people who think it's great and safe, I just don't think it is at all worth the risk.

My wife and I have been taking green pastures fclo for about two years, and personally, I think it's great stuff. My wife researched this for a couple of years and plans on doubling the amount once she's pregnant. I brought this question up to her when I read it and she believes it's safe and good for the pregnancy, but of course this is just one opinion, you'll probably want to do your own research and do what you're comfortable with. Good luck
PS: we're swaying girl, but I don't know if fclo has any swaying effect... If anything I'd guess it would sway boy because it would provides more nutrients.

Vitamin A via foods is fine. It's Vit A thru concentrated supplements that causes potential birth defects.
Study Links Excess Vitamin A and Birth Defects - NYTimes.com Google Vit A and birth defects, you'll get plenty of hits.
PLEASE be careful, guys. Natural does not mean SAFE. Botulism is 100% natural and can kill you - so is arsenic, ptomaine, strychnine, etc.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
