Cod liver oil is source of

• A. Vitamin B
• B. Vitamin C
• C. Iodine
• D. Vitamin A

Answer 1

The correct option is D Vitamin A

Cod liver oil is a nutritional supplement derived from liver of cod fish. As with most fish oils, it has high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Cod liver oil also contains vitamin A and vitamin D. It has historically been taken because of its vitamin A and vitamin D content. It was once commonly given to children, because vitamin D has been shown to prevent rickets and other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin B, C and iodine are absent in cod liver oil.
