Cod Liver Oil is a rich natural source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) as well as vitamins A and D. It supports heart health, brain function, joint mobility, immune function, and eye and skin health.
Is Cod Liver Oil the same as Fish Oil?
Not exactly. Both contain omega-3s, but Cod Liver Oil also provides natural vitamins A and D, while regular fish oil does not. Cod Liver Oil comes specifically from the liver of cod fish, while fish oil is usually extracted from the body of oily fish like anchovies or sardines.
Who should take Cod Liver Oil?
Cod Liver Oil can benefit those wanting to support immune health, joint comfort, vision, or overall well-being. It's particularly helpful in regions with low sun exposure due to its vitamin D content. However, people with high vitamin A intake or on certain medications should consult a healthcare provider.
When is the best time to take Cod Liver Oil?
Cod Liver Oil is best taken with meals, particularly those containing fat, to aid absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A and D. Morning or midday is often recommended to avoid digestive discomfort at night.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Cod Liver Oil is generally safe when taken at recommended doses. However, excessive intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity or digestive upset. Always follow label directions and consult a health professional if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
