Cod Liver Oil Thousands of studies have proven that EPA and DHA Omega-3's in cod liver oils have substantial benefits to your health that include: • Cardiovascular Health • Mental Health • Immune Health • Digestive Health • Join and Bone Health • Energy and Vitality
Cod Liver Oil is one of the most reliable and concentrated food sources of four nutrients that are essential to your health: DHA, EPA, vitamin A, and vitamin D.
Once used mainly as a vitamin supplement for children, cod liver oil is more likely now to be promoted for older people suffering from severe osteoarthritis. Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fats, helps counter inflammation, so some people with another form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (an inflammatory disease), take fish oil supplements to help reduce symptoms. There is also an inflammatory element in osteoarthritis, it is now known, and thus some people think that fish oil, specifically cod liver oil, might be useful.
Claims, purported benefits: Treats or cures arthritis. Prevent heart attacks and stokes. Fights cancer, prevents Alzheimer’s disease, depression.
Bottom line: No solid research has ever shown that cod liver oil prevents cancer, Alzheimer’s, or depression, but there is some evidence that fish oil, including cod liver oil, may ease the pain of arthritis and improve joint stiffness. Like all fish oil supplements, the oil may help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, especially in people who have already had a heart attack or are at high cardiovascular risk.
