## Short answer

The cheapest cod liver oil we track costs **$0.051 per serving**, against a median of $0.136 across the 16 products we can price per dose. Cost per dose is the current retail price divided by servings, as of 2026-11-13; it is not the sticker price, and the cheapest bottle is rarely the best value.
