KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Cod liver oil, as its name
suggests, is an oil
extracted from cod livers.
It is a nutritional
supplement, in the past
commonly given to children.
Cod liver oil is one of the
most effective providers of
omega-3 fatty acids,
an excellent source of
vitamin A and vitamin D,
and also contains (EPA and
DHA). It is widely taken to
ease the pain and joint
stiffness associated with
arthritis but has also been
clinically proven to have a
positive effect on heart,
bone and brain health, as
well as helping to nourish
skin, hair and nails.
High quality cod liver oil
is "a pale-yellow, thin,
oily liquid, having a
peculiar, slightly fishy,
but not rancid odor, and a
bland, slightly fishy
taste." |
