Its fairly common, as in it’s still sold in super markets.
But I personally dont do a table spoon of it each day. I just cant stand the taste. So I do the capsule variant instead.

Same brand. Only difference is, you don’t taste it.

Buy the capsules. There is no need to torture yourself through the taste.

One tablespoon each day is enough. During summer when you get enough sunlight, it is not as important. More important to take during winter when your body can’t produce enough vitamin D on its own
Also, if you drink some milk just after taking the cod liver oil, the aftertaste will go away.

I grew up with one tablespoon a day. Was taught that it was important for vitamin D. Hence why they say you should take tran (cod liver oil) in all the months with r, because they have the least sun.
Nowadays I take plant based supplements instead.

Do it. Dont be a baby.

I don’t do it every day, but sometimes. It used to have a strong taste, which is why many prefer the one with lemon flavour or the capsule version, but it doesn’t have the same taste anymore.

It is a good source of vitamin D, so take it in the winter months when you don’t get much sun.

Rule of thumb: Only drink it in months with r. You get enough vitamin D from the sun in spring and summer.

I throw a table spoon in my morning smoothie everyday. Can’t taste it at all.

It has no effect whatsoever. Unless you have a very poor nutritional diet

Its generally a bad idea to drink any type of oil straight. Either mix it or spread it on something or do the capsule like others suggest.

What amount of vitamin D do you get with 2 tablespoon per day ? And what is recommended ?

I’m marrying into a Norwegian family and we have a bottle of this in our fridge (I don’t mind the taste but the texture is a bit… Blugh) and also the capsules (I kind of prefer them but don’t mind either really) on the side by the kettle in our house in the UK.
Get fed it after breakfast when we are with family in Norge 😁.

Fairly common. I did it every morning until I was in my teens. Started up again a few years back. Not sure I can tell any difference, but it’s not like it hurts you.

I dont know how I’d be if I didn’t, but, since we Norwegians are pale and it gets dark here, we need the extra vitamin D. Especially during winter.
If you’re of a darker complexion, it’s an absolute must. Many foreigners get sick from vitamin D deficiency in the dark months.

Edit: might also add that if you dont like the taste of Möllers Tran, you can try the tran from [Havfruene](https://havfruene.no/products/1?page=1&pageSize=30&product_view=1&sorting_mode=0). Didn’t taste fishy at all and much better quality, but it is more expensive though.
Yes it is fairly common and recommend. I rather use two tran capsules per day than oil, because it has no taste.

You can find them in ordinary grocery stores.
Taste absolutely shit!
I dont Think it has any scientific proof that it has any effect
I grew up having a tablespoon forced down my neck every day before school.
It’s no wonder I don’t eat any form of seafood.
Tablespoon? I sip directly from the bottle while I flex my arm like a viking.
It’s very common in Norway. Sold at almost every grocery store.
The capsules from Möller and other brands, are more or less the same product as the bottled cod liver oil (example: https://meny.no/varer/personlige-artikler/helsekost/trankapsler/mollers-omega-3-7070866030728 ). There’s also a capsule variant with increased level of Omega 3: https://www.mollers.no/product/konsentrert-omega-3-kapsler/
Don’t like the taste of cod liver oil? There’s a variant with lemon flavour: https://meny.no/varer/personlige-artikler/helsekost/tran/mollers-tran-7070866013431
And one with apple flavour: https://meny.no/varer/personlige-artikler/helsekost/tran/mollers-tran-7070866026578
