      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.

    3. Puzzleheaded_Pear_18 on

      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

      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.

      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.

    9. ProboblyOnToilet on

      Tablespoon? I sip directly from the bottle while I flex my arm like a viking.

    10. Billy_Ektorp on

      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

      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.

    13. SirYeetles on

      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.

    14. Worth-Wonder-7386 on

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

    15. Real_Hangman on

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

    16. Brief-Sound8730 on

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

    17. THETennesseeD on

      My 4yo daughter loves the children’s tootie frootie flavored Tran.

    19. TraditionalImage387 on

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

    20. Grello on

      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 😁.

    21. Hoggorm88 on

      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.

    22. Miserable-Trip-4243 on

      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.

    23. Zealousideal-Elk2714 on

      I was brought up to eat everything that was served. I’ve also travelled to some exotic places where I’ve eaten some pretty weird stuff out of politeness. I still find the taste and texture of cod liver oil to be revolting. Take the capsules, they’re just as effective.

    24. Apathyville on

      One tablespoon a day every month that has the letter “R” in it, that’s what I grew up with. My mom’s generation and before stood in line in school to get their daily dose.

      I don’t take tran myself because I can’t stand the taste or feeling the feel of something that oily, but do I take capsules instead every day as requested by my doctor.

      Check your levels and take it from there I’d say. I for one am chronically low on D-vitamin no matter what I do and so I need to take supplements as well. The doctors don’t know why and have tested for all kinds of things, but found nothing wrong.

    26. OneCommunication357 on

      I just take a shot straight from the bottle before or after breakfest

    28. Lijo84 on

      I take vitamin d supplements instead. Tran contains environmental toxics.

      Have no one thought of the fact Tran is a rest product from fish industry that marketing have managed to turn into commodity with an extremely high mark up – only in Norway.

      While rest of Nordic countries (with as little winter sun) make do with just d-vitamin AND have less people with d-vitamin shortage. In Norway a third of population are low in d-vitamin, while in Sweden it’s much less common (and mostly common in certain immigrant groups). Swedes don’t drink Tran.

    29. Valkyria90 on

      Its fairly common. If you don’t like the taste (nobody does), buy capsules. Capsules are more expensive, so I preffer the one with the green label over the yellow one as it has less flavour.

    30. Cathy_ynot on

      Every day growing up. I still take the capsules on the weeks I’m not eating enough fish

    31. thewallamby on

      Old people used to drink that a lot. Youngs not so much. Olive oil (greek not the fake one) is also really good if you have high LDL (one soup spoon a day).

    33. Kitchberg on

      Hold it to your lips, tilt head back, suck it down and swallow like a champ.

    35. edparadox on

      More often than not, it is two teaspoons (ergo 2 x 5mL) per day, and should say something along these lines on the packaging.

    36. Draugar90 on

      In every month with an R in it (september all the way till april), a tablespoon per day. Sana sol as well, to wash away the tran.

    37. yarndopie on

      It’s good for you, but if you can’t stand the taste you can get vegetarian capsules made with algae instead of fish.

    38. Andjact on

      I grew up doing with parents having me take a tablespoon of this every day until I grew up, looked at the bottle and saw that it actually says teaspoon, not tablespoon.

    39. Deimos_Oddity on

      Do note that the recommended amount is 5ml. Which is a teaspoon, not a tablespoon.

      I grew up with a tablespoon of sana sol and tran as ‘everyone’ else did.

    40. TheRealMouseRat on

      Yes I recommend it. Chase with a big glass of cold milk and a slice of bread with liver pate for calsium and iron too.

    41. Green-Advantage2277 on

      I usually do pills when I have to. Don’t leave them in humid lunch boxes though, because the lining will soften and it might burst. Learned that the hard way once and my hands smelled like fish for the whole day

    42. Proud_Shallot_2111 on

      I personally quote enjoy the flavour. Also a pro tip, if you ever eat something way to spicy Tran helps a lot.
