if i'm not mistaken, cod liver oil tablets are the same thing as fish oil, so i don't know if there is any joint benefit to them. maybe do a google search to see what's said. but fish oil is good for you either way. it contains omega 3's or omega 6 fatty acids (can't remember which), which are essential fatty acids that your body can't produce. fish oil is supposed to be very good for you, is great for your cholesterol (it either lowers your LDL or raises you HDL, both of which are good things), as well as being needed by your body.
the only alternatives i can think of are eating more fish, tuna, salmon, etc.
