Hi Tepiaca (and IsoM),

IsoM is right, and I didn't mean to scare you -- the amount of Vitamin A you're getting isn't going to poison you, but you'd probably be best using a supplement that contains less if possible.

And (a personal opinion here) -- cod (at least the Atlantic species) are arguably on the verge of extinction, so I avoid use of products made from them. Also, if you're concerned about mercury etc., cod is pretty high on the food chain, which means that it accumulates toxins like heavy metals, PCBs etc. to a greater extent than fishes that eat plankton etc. directly. So I'd switch to an oil made from something like herring (arenque in Spanish, I think) or sardines (not sure of the Spanish word) if you have the choice.

Again, it's great to hear that fish oil is helping!
