Cod liver oil is a nutritional supplement derived from the livers of codfish, particularly Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). It has been consumed for centuries and is known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and other essential nutrients. Omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are considered essential fats that provide various health benefits. They are known to support heart health, promote brain function, reduce inflammation, and contribute to overall well-being. Vitamin A is crucial for maintaining healthy vision, promoting the immune system, and supporting the growth and development of cells and tissues. Vitamin D is essential for bone health as it aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus in the body. Additionally, cod liver oil is available in liquid form or in capsules. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to provide these beneficial nutrients. It can be consumed directly or mixed with other foods or beverages.
