For about a month now I have been taking cod liver pills at night before bed. I was recomended this by a lady that works at a whole foods type store for my dry hair. I was skeptical at first but for $5 why not.....any way, I have noticed a preety dramatic difference in the quality of my hair since. If any one has dry hair and does not want to spend a fortune on high dollar conditioners this is the way to go.

It also improves your skin.
I remember the horror stories from when I was a kid about cod liver oil. I think I could handle it in pill form. I'd like to improve my dry skin and it doesn't sound expensive. Thanks for the tip.
I had a similar experience as child. It was suggested that I take cod liver oil as a dietary supplement. Every night I was given a tablespoon of that nasty substance.
I wish I had the pills.

Due to my dry skin it was recommended to me I take fish oil as I don't eat fish. I take a pharaceutical quality fish oil which means the fishy taste has been filtered out. The difference has been amazing, my skin is a lot less dry & my hair as well.
Additionally it's a natural anti inflammatory, so my back pains & my various soft tissue strains & sprains are diminished as well. Now this stuff ain't cheap ($40 for 500ml) but I only take a table spoon a day so a bottle lasts me 2-3 months at least. I once dropped some on the tile floor in the kitchen & the bottle shattered. It was near impossible to clear this thick gooey oily stuff off the floor, my wife nearly killed me!

Anyone ever try USANA BiOmega? Very good stuff.
This product is superior to other concentrates. Not only is BiOmega USP verified, USANA uses a double molecular distillation process that ensures the highest possible purity, unsurpassed in the industry. This revolutionary process removes mercury, PCBs, pesticides, and other heavy metals.

Just chiming in with a +1 for fish oil. My dog has severe skin allergies and as recommended by our vet, we have her on a fish oil pill regimen. I may be dipping into her stash come winter. (We give her the OTC stuff for humans as the "pet" versions are the same thing with a rediculous markup).
DO NOT TAKE THIS STUFF IF YOU'RE ON MEDICATION TO LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE!!!!!
That is all.
That is all.
I am not on meds for HBP. What stuff are you talking about? And why?
There are lots of different types of antihypertensives that all work at different receptors and sites in the body. Some natural products do interfere with medications (for example grapefruit juice and warfarin.) I've not heard of cod liver oil and antihypertensives before though. Can you share some more information please?
A guy I used to work with was on a health kick, and was taking Cod Liver Oil capsules because he had heard they were good for your health (as no doubt, they are).
He was on medication for high blood pressure (have no idea what meds) and came into work one day looking very drawn & colourless. His boss sent him to the plant nurse, who couldn't find a pulse!!!!
She had him rushed to the Emergency Room by ambulance, where he stayed for 3 days. Docs & nurses there asked what meds he was on, yaddayadda, and he neglected to tell them he was taking the Oil. They didn't know until one of the Orderlys saw the bottle on his bedside table and happened to mention it to his doctor, who told him to stop taking it immediately.

Does this stuff help grow hair or just improve the health of existing hair???

I think the health of existing.
I've been told Rogaine helps grow hair.
Hey you! Do you speak Chinese? I'm on the phone with Beijing...the Hair Restoration Clinic?
...a billion people and he has to find a relative!
My understanding is the pharmaceutical formulations are OK if there is a severe nutritionl deficiency.
Since Cod Liver oil also contains Vitamin A & D which are both fat soluble, it is possible to overdose (unlike the water soluble vitamins where you would just urinate out any excess that your body does not need).
