What is Cod Liver Oil?

Cod liver oil is derived from the livers of codfish. Found in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the fish has long been a dietary staple of many countries throughout the world. The oil itself has an extensive history of use in traditional health practices, with many people, particularly in the coastal towns of Europe, commonly advising adults and children alike to take the liquid in order to compensate for nutritional deficiencies that could affect overall well-being.**

Scientific investigations since the turn of the 20^th century have confirmed this folk wisdom, with various studies finding that cod liver oil holds numerous wellness benefits. Cod liver oil is abundant in health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids, but, unlike standard fish oil, it additionally features substantial amounts of vitamins A and D. This combination makes cod liver oil a notably nutrient-rich supplement.**

Due to its potent combination of the essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and vitamins A and D, cod liver oil has been researched for wellness attributes that cover a number of areas, including various forms of circulatory health. This extends to the oil’s support of overall cardiovascular function, including ideal blood lipid and normal blood pressure levels.**

These cardioprotective qualities are tied to cod liver oil’s inflammation modulating activity, which also encourages joint wellness, flexibility, comfort and mobility. Cod liver oil also supports eye health, bone strength and skin health. With its plentiful DHA, cod liver oil optimizes multiple aspects of brain health, including memory and mood.  The oil promotes optimal immune function, as well.**

Cod Liver Oil Products

Cod liver oil supplements are extracted from the liver of codfish and commonly available in liquid or softgel form. Since the oil is an acquired taste, the liquid is often offered in flavors such as orange, lemon or mint. Those wanting to avoid any unpleasant taste may opt for softgel capsules instead. For pure cod liver of the highest quality, supplements are often sourced from cod caught in deep, clean and cold waters, such as those off the coast of Norway near the remote island of Engelvaer.**

Cod Liver Oil Directions for Use

There is no established recommended cod liver oil dosage. In liquid form, it is commonly taken in daily doses of one teaspoon (1 tsp). As softgels, cod liver oil is often available in 1,000 mg (1 g) softgels.**
