Cod Liver Oil is a rich source of the Omega 3 essential fatty acids EPA and 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) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are both long chain fatty acids that have been shown to provide a number of health benefits including; reduced blood pressure and cholesterol, improved immune function and reduce inflammation. They also provide the basic building blocks for nerve tissue and 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 and 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 and nails whilst the Vitamin E content acts as an antioxidant. Our Cod Liver Oil is sourced from the unpolluted fisheries of Iceland, ensuring you receive the highest quality available in its purest form. We do not use deodorised oil.
