Cod liver oil contains DHA and EPA, two essential fatty acids known for their ability to regulate blood pressure and to maintain a healthy balance between good and bad cholesterol in the blood.
Due to its content of omega-3, vitamin A and vitamin D (since the 19th century) cod liver oil was given to children to prevent rickets. People who do not consume enough milk can take this type of oil to obtain vitamin D. Moreover, cod liver oil contains more vitamin D and vitamin A than any other food product.
Benefits:
- is effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases
- prevents and treats rickets caused by insufficient sun exposure, low vitamin D intake, rapid weight gain with increased vitamin D requirements (infants, preterm babies, twins) or by conditions that cause vitamin D absorption deficiencies (digestive, hepatic, renal diseases)
- helps maintain bone density by stimulating intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus
- reduces inflammation and pain in osteoarthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
- stimulates tissue repair and restores skin elasticity in scleroderma, seborrhea, acne, eczema
- reduces blood pressure levels caused by stress
- has beneficial effects on the immune system due to its rich content of alkoxyglycerols, which help produce white blood cells; shark liver oil contains several times the amount of alkoxyglycerols that the human body can produce
- as a major constituent of the lipids in the brain and nerves (60% of the lipids in brain and nervous tissue), Omega-3 (DHA) is vital for the normal functioning of these tissues, being a true food for the brain
