I'm curious if it's safe to take 60,000 IU of vitamin D every week. With the lockdown and winter coming, I'm not getting much sun exposure. Can you advise?

Yes, taking 60,000 IU of vitamin D per week is generally safe for most people, especially if you're deficient, but it's important to follow your doctor's recommendation and monitor your levels. Since you're not getting enough sun exposure, this supplementation can help maintain optimal levels, but always keep track of any symptoms and consult your doctor regularly.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take cod liver oil tablets every day? And if so, could you recommend a good tablet brand that would be safe for daily usage?

Cord liver tablets are typically safe for daily consumption, as they provide essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting daily use, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. A commonly recommended brand is "Seven Seas" or "Nutrilite Omega-3." Always choose a trusted, quality brand for optimal benefits.
