The Secret Cure All - Organic Cod Liver Oil

The history of using Cod Liver Oil dates back to the 1800 on the European Coast line. Though the process in which the Cod Liver is completely different it is interesting to look back at how using Cod Liver Oil as a supplement began. Fisherman use to harvest the liver on cod fish and they were consumed as full livers. It was common practice to consume cod liver as a preventive measure against illness that plagued the fishing communities.

During the 1930s, two American scientists discovered that there was a difference between the fatty acids based on their origin. They research showed that Omega 3 fatty acids, the fatty acids derived from fish or vegetables sources were different from Omega 6 fatty aids which are derived from Linolenic Acids. They originally had Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids lumped together. They believed that both were needed by the body; however, the body was unable to produce them itself.

Research studies ranging from 1918-2001 give cod liver oil an A+ rating. This marvelous golden oil contains large amounts of elongated omega-3 fatty acids, preformed vitamin A and the sunlight vitamin D, essential nutrients that are hard to obtain in sufficient amounts in the modern diet. Samples may also naturally contain small amounts of the important bone- and blood-maintainer vitamin K.

Cod Liver Oil can help with skin, joint, and heart health as well as advance cognitive functioning and reduce the symptoms associated with depression. Cod Liver Oil has also been connected to the ease of pain caused by arthritis.

Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults. The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system.
