I'm finding there's not enough vitamin D in fish oil for me. I use halibut oil (not sure if it's liver or not) for vitamin A, but don't know if it's any better than cod? It's the mercury and PCB content that really concerns me more than the fish.

> and calc could lower available thyroid hormones in those on T4 replacement..which may feedback to pit/hypo and raise TSH..if that pathway is working optimally!Why would calcium lower thyroid hormones? I'm not sure of the way it would do that? Saw in interesting idea reagrding vitamin A an article said thyroid receptors can become over sensitive during hypothyroid, so when T3 or T4 is supplemented, a person can be a little 'hyper' - vitamin A can desensitise the T3 receptor to help with this - not sure it would be good in some cases though!
