Cod Liver Oil is a storehouse of important nutrients as an excellent source for Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Omega-3, EPA, and DHA. While you may be familiar with the two vitamins, you may not know about all of the benefits we get from DHA and EPA. These are antioxidants. The typical American diet unfortunately lacks sufficient amounts of these important nutrients.
Studies show that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), is essential for good cardiovascular health and is beneficial for reducing inflammation that causes disorders such as arthritis, asthma and allergies.
DHA (docosahexaneoic acid) is a major building block of cells in the brain and in the retina of the eye. It therefore supports a healthy brain and good vision. DHA has been proven beneficial in reducing aggression and hostility associated with psychological stress. It also has been found to protect against the increased risk of heart attack because of stress and depression.
According to clinical trials, insufficient amounts of DHA in the body may be a risk factor for age-related cognitive impairments like Alzheimer's disease. Sufficient amounts of DHA may also increase one's cognitive abilities. DHA seems to be vital for the infants' cognitive and visual development.
I’ve searched and not found any product that will do a better job delivering the valuable nutrients found in a quality brand of cod liver oil.
Before turning your nose up at the idea of swallowing cod liver oil you must know that it no longer has that awful fishy taste it had when our parents tried to pour it down our throats. Today, the oil is purified and packaged in a glass bottle from which all air has been removed – and replaced with nitrogen. Much of that old fish taste was the result of air that interacted with the bottled oil. That does not happen when nitrogen is present. Even after opening – and storing in the refrigerator – the oil retains a fresh taste – with a hint of lemon – for several months.
