Cod Liver Oil 1000mg - 90 Softgels
As the name suggests, Cod Liver oil comes from the fresh livers of cod. And while it may contain less omega-3 fatty acids than regular fish oils, it boasts higher levels of Vitamin A and D. The simultaneous occurrence of these nutrients have shown efficacy in many trials.
Both Vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids cannot be produced by the body, but instead must come from our diets.
Research shows that our Vitamin D levels are influenced by certain genes, where some require supplementation and others, food sources of vitamin D. As a food supplement, cod liver oil provides a highly bio available source of vitamin D
Through the ages, cod liver oil has been used to boost immunity.
The ratio of vitamins A and D in cod liver oil, together with the cost and availability, make it a popular product to not only treat but also prevent respiratory and other infections.
It is also popular for treating various types of arthritis, bone conditions, inflammation, skin disorders, eye sight and ear infections.
Although studies have shown benefits with regard to its use during pregnancy, it is best avoided because of the high Vitamin A content.
EPA 85.5mg, DHA 100.8mg, Vitamin A 2500IU, Vitamin D3 250IU.
Dosage: Take 1 to 2 softgels daily or as prescribed by your healthcare practitioner.
