Might be worth asking if this can be tested at the same time. My GP was very surprised at how low mine was, her comment was 'after the lovely summer we've just had!'. Just goes to show we can't necessarily get all we need from sunshine and eating oily fish, etc! Also don't quote me but I think the better option is Omega 3 fish oil rather than cod liver oil due to the higher levels of EPA and DHA found in mackerel and herring. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can explain that better than me though.S x
