Cod Liver oil is a rich natural source of essential fatty acids and the fat soluble Vitamins A and D. Not all fats are bad, and there are an important group of fatty acids called Omega-3 that are considered to be helpful to the body. As part of a healthy diet it is important to try and reduce your intake of harmful saturated fats, which can lead to heart problems and cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids however, are poly-unsaturated fatty acids, which are being researched to help tackle heart disease and health of the circulatory system.

Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) can be helpful in maintaining a healthy heart and circulation.

Many Cod Liver Oil supplements do not provide all the daily requirements of Vitamin A or D. Not only does this formulation provide essential Omega-3 fatty acids, it has also been fortified to boost the natural content of these Vitamins to provide 100% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamins A & D.

Few foods naturally contain a rich source of Vitamin D, so exposure to sunlight is an important way for the body to make it’s own Vitamin D. Sunlight triggers the body into synthesising Vitamin D. Those who don’t get enough natural sunlight, such as office workers who work in offices without natural light, may choose to supplement their Vitamin D intake. Those in ethnic communities who prefer to wear enveloping clothing should ensure they are receiving sufficient Vitamin D in their diet. Sunscreens that have an SPF of 8 or greater block the UV rays that cause vitamin production, however sunscreen should be used if sun exposure is greater than 10 to 15 minutes.

Vitamin A is essential for: • The health of the eyes and vision • A maintaining a healthy immune system • Strong healthy bone growth • Soft tissue maintenance, such as eyes, respiratory, urinary, and intestinal tract • Regulation of the immune system

Vitamin D is used by the body to: • Aid absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus during bone formation • Maintain normal blood levels of Calcium and Phosphorus • Work in conjunction with other vitamins and minerals in general bone health
