Cod Liver Oil is a rich source of the Omega 3 essential fatty acids EPA & DHA. These two essential fatty acids have been shown to support a number of health related functions. Cod Liver Oil is also a good source of Vitamin D. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) & DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are both long chain fatty acids that have been shown to provide a number of health benefits including; reduced blood pressure & cholesterol, enhanced immune function & reduce inflammation. They also provide the basic building blocks for nerve tissue & brain cells. As a majority of people struggle to consume sufficient amounts of essential fatty acids in their normal diet, Cod Liver Oil supplementation may be crucial. As sunshine & sunlight are the main sources of Vitamin D production, a large proportion of people tend to consume Cod Liver Oil in the winter months when there is less chance of exposure to the sun. However, if you lack Vitamin D in general it may be advisable to supplement with Cod Liver Oil throughout the year. Our Cod Liver Oil also contains Vitamin A which has been shown to support healthy skin, hair & nails whilst the Vitamin E content acts as an antioxidant. Our Cod Liver Oil is sourced from the unpolluted fisheries of Icel&, ensuring you receive the highest quality available in its purest form. We do not use deodorised oil.
