Abstract
ALTHOUGH the average vitamin D content of cod liver oil of authentic origin as produced by the world's fisheries in normal peace-time lies in the neighbourhood of 85 international units per gram, there are very wide limits of variation according to the season, condition of the fish in relation to spawning and the actual fishing ground on which the fish are caught. In our experience these natural variations cover a range from below 50 to above 500 international units per gram.
