Cod liver oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, promote optimal cholesterol levels, and enhance mental health through its ability to help protect against dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and it targets depression and ADHD [1, 2]. Cod liver oil also an excellent source of vitamin D, which supports optimal mental performance, enhances immune system function, strengthens muscles and bones, helps protect skin cells from UV damage, and has anti-cancer properties [3-8]. Furthermore, cod liver oil supports healthy blood sugar levels and targets inflammation [8, 9]. It also contains vitamin A that promotes wound healing [8-10].
Overall health [1-10]; Enhanced immune system, heart, brain, skin, bone, muscle health [1-8]
Cod liver oil contains large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy triglycerides that help lower unhealthy triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels [1]. The omega-3 fatty acids in cod liver oil also contain cannabinoids that have anti-inflammatory properties [10]. The vitamin A in cod liver oil appears to accelerate the epithelial (tissue-related) and vascular (e.g., blood flow) components of the healing process, thereby improving wound healing [8-10]. Furthermore, cod liver oil contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which protects cells in the brain from different types of damage, including tissue damage that can lead to dementia or Alzheimer's disease, due to their antioxidant, vasodilating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arrhythmic properties [2].
