Cod liver oil

Cod Liver Oil
Cod Liver Oil (CLO) has long been a traditional remedy for problems associated with joints as it is thought to lubricate them therefore reducing the friction that causes the pain and inflammation. Research has revealed that the Omega 3 essential fatty acids – Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) – abundant in CLO offer benefits for the heart and for circulation. Not only is it a rich source of these Omega 3 fatty acids, but CLO also contains Vitamins A and D.
 

The benefits of cod liver oil include:

  • Can soothe arthritic symptoms such as: tender joints, morning stiffness and swelling.
  • The essential fats in CLO are vital components of the brain, needed by the foetus in pregnancy and also to support memory and concentration.
  • Discourages blood platelets from sticking together therefore reducing the likelihood of blood clots and thrombosis.
  • Can help reduce high blood pressure.
  • The Vitamin D in CLO is good for bones and teeth.
  • Vitamin A in CLO is beneficial for vision, skin and mucous membranes
