Cod liver Oil is a rich source of fat soluble vitamins like D and E.
Cod liver Oil is extracted from liver and marketed in the form of syrup or gemmules.Cod liver oil has been clinically proven to be very effective in Vitamin D defficiency deseases like Rickets and softening of bones. Cod Liver Oil also helps to raise the level of good choleatrol and is a good cardiac tonioc. Cod Liver Oil is also rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The body makes this fatty acid from omega-3 linolenic acid as an important link in the chain of fatty acids that ultimately results in prostaglandins, localized tissue hormones. It is very important for the proper function of the brain and nervous system. Those individuals who have consumed large amounts of polyunsaturated oils, especially hydro-genated oils, or who have impaired pancreatic function, such as diabetics, may not be able to produce EPA and will, therefore, lack important prostaglandins unless they consume oily fish or take a cod liver oil supplement.
