A Deeper Understanding of Rosita Cod Liver Oil
What is Cod Liver Oil?
Cod liver oil is obtained from the liver of the cod fish (Gadus Morhua), and consists of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). As with most fish oils, it contains the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It differs from fish oil in that it is much richer in Vitamin A and Vitamin D. Historically, it was a treatment for rickets and osteomalacia, and as a dietary supplement due to its naturally high Vitamin D content (11). A long tradition of supplementing cod liver oil during the winter exists in Norway to prevent Vitamin D deficiency, and we find it may give us many other great benefits as well.
