Description
What is cod liver oil?
Cod liver oil has been revered for good health since the time of the Vikings. Although the name doesn't sound very inviting, we've come a long way from taking a daily dose of cod liver oil by the spoonful at school. A cod's liver is a rich source of oil containing vitamins A and D which support your vision, bones, teeth and immune system and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It is these omega 3 fatty acids that give cod liver oil its health benefits for the brain, eyes and heart.*
Why choose Healthspan's High Strength Cod Liver Oil 1000 mg capsules?
The UK's Food Standards Agency advises that we eat a minimum of two portions of oily fish per week – equal to 450 mg per day of the long-chain omega 3 fatty acids. If – like a lot of people – you don't eat oily fish regularly, you'd probably benefit from taking cod liver oil capsules daily. Our cod liver oil is sustainably sourced from the pristine waters of Lofoten in Northern Norway, and we are proud to say our High Strength Cod Liver Oil capsules contain oil that has been granted 'Friend of the Sea' certification. It is also refined to keep it extremely pure and virtually free of the taste and smell you might associate with cod liver oil. Even better, we add St Clement's citrus flavouring to improve its taste even further. For those that used to take it by the spoonful – hopefully this will help improve your memory of old school days!
*The beneficial effect for brain and eyes is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. The beneficial effect for the heart is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
