I've been told over and over to ease up on the cod liver oil before I give birth because it is a blood thinner and can lead to hemorrhage after birth. Is there any reason people couldn't use cod liver oil to thin their blood if necessary for medical reasons? I take it for the vitamin A and D not blood thinning.
I wouldn't suggest cod liver oil for ramping up vitamin D levels if you're low, but if you just need to maintain, it can be part of a good daily regimen, in my opinion. We also eat salmon a few times a week and drink raw milk daily; both of these have vitamin D in them. The best source is time in the sun but you probably know that.

I didn’t know Cod liver oil was good for vitamin D. 🤔 Do you know how much Vitamin D you get in one dose?
It's a small amount and it depends on the brand. I use Rosita cod liver oil - https://www.rositausa.com/products/extra-virgin-cod-liver-oil-softgels?variant=33305959563308 125 IU for 3
