Hmmm, ten capsules. Arthur is right in watching how much vitamin A you are getting from the Cod Liver oil.

Taking over 100,000 international units daily over long periods can be toxic to the body, mainly the liver. Toxic levels of vitamin A are associated with abdominal pain, amenorrhea, well I don't think you'd experience this, enlargement of the liver and/or spleen, gastrointestinal disturbances, hair loss, itching, joint pain, nausea and vomiting, elevated liver enzymes, and small cracks and scales on the lips and at the corners of the mouth.

You are also getting vitamin D from Cod Liver oil. Vitamin D has properties of both a vitamin and a hormone. You should take calcium with vitamin D. Vitamin D and calcium must be in a balanced ratio. Taking excessive amounts of Vitamin D (over 1,000 IUs) daily may cause a decrease in bone mass. Toxicity may result from taking over 65,000 IUs of vitamin D over a period of two years. Calcium can be taken between meals. I like calcium citrate form best as it is easiest absorbed in the body.

Both of these vitamins are very helpful for the body. Older people that stay inside as well as most folks during winter time do not get enough vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. Just make sure you know how much you are getting from your supplements.

Glad you got your libido back! I'll have to look more into this.
