About Cod liver oil

Cod liver oil is a nutrient-rich supplement derived from the livers of codfish, traditionally consumed in Scandinavian and Northern European diets. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, it supports heart health, brain function, and joint mobility. Additionally, cod liver oil is an exceptional source of vitamins A and D, essential for vision, immune health, and maintaining strong bones. Its unique blend of nutrients makes it a favored choice for combating inflammation and promoting overall well-being. However, cod liver oil should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake can lead to vitamin toxicity, particularly from vitamin A. While not typically a culinary ingredient, it is often taken in liquid or capsule form as a supplement. Its benefits and origins reflect the region's reliance on nutrient-dense food sources to endure cold climates and long winters.
