Fish oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. However, cod liver oil and other fish liver oils contain omega 3 as well as high amounts of vitamin A. Therefore, it is possible to get too much of this vitamin when taking this supplement in high doses. Signs of too much vitamin A include skin irritation, joint pain, dizziness, and nausea. If you continue to take high amounts of vitamin A, you may experience liver damage.
