Are There Benefits of Cod Liver Oil for Children?

It is not known if cod liver oil is safe for children. Also, there is some concern that certain supplements may be contaminated with heavy metals and other toxins, which may be especially dangerous for children. Also, cod liver oil contains quite a bit of vitamin A, often too much for children. Do not give your child these supplements without the approval of your child's healthcare provider.
