What the Label Data Shows

Cod Liver Oil is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a fat/fatty acid supplement built from 10 ingredients from Carlson, sold in softgel capsule form. These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, other, fat, vitamin, fatty acid, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 10-ingredient formula, 10 of 10 fall outside the FDA's Daily Value system altogether, expected for a broader formula -- the more ingredients a label lists, the more likely it accumulates botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2015-12-23. Off-market products are no longer being produced or distributed under this label, but the DSLD preserves their historical label data for researchers, consumers checking older bottles, and for tracking how formulations have evolved.
