Looking for a way to improve your overall condition? Cod liver oil - rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D, it will take care of your cardiovascular system, brain, eyesight and immunity. How else can it help? Reach for Cod Liver Oil 1000 mg and feel the difference.Cod liver oil is a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) and vitamins A and D. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contribute to the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. Vitamin A supports good vision and, together withvitamin D, helps the immune system to function optimally. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have cardioprotective effects - including anti-arrhythmic effects, lowering blood pressure and stabilising atherosclerotic plaque. They have also been noted to exhibit anticoagulant potential [1]. The American Heart Association recommends the consumption of two fish meals per week for prevention or supplementation with 1 g EPA and DHA per day for people with cardiovascular complaints [2]. It is worth noting that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) also supports brain function and good vision. It plays a key role during pregnancy and early childhood by directly influencing cognitive function and visual acuity (it contributes to normal retinal development). DHA also has neuroprotective properties by helping, among other things, to preserve the structure and physiology of neurons and glial cells, which is particularly important during ageing and in neurodegenerative diseases [3].Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin A, which supports a number of physiological processes - including helping to maintain normal iron metabolism, protecting the conjunctiva from infection, helping to see well in poor light conditions, and regulating the immune system [4]. Vitamin D, in turn, supports the modulation of the innate and acquired immune response. Its deficiency can lead to increasedsusceptibility to infection [5]. In addition, it plays an important role in calcium metabolism and bone mineralisation, and contributes to the microbiome - thereby influencing immune function [6].
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) belong to the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [7]. The main sources of these precious acids are oily fish. Cod liver oil is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) and is additionally rich in vitamins A and D. The tradition of its use as a product to support the overall health of the body dates back to the Viking Age . The oil was an important part of the Nordic diet. Due to its beneficial properties, it was called the 'gold of the ocean' [8].Vitamin A is found in animal and plant products - a good source is fish liver, others include chicken egg yolks, milk, cheese and mangoes, yams and corn [4]. Vitamin D is mainly obtained by dermal synthesis, which occurs during sun exposure. It can also be obtained through the consumption of oily fish or egg yolks, but often dietary sources are not sufficient to cover the daily requirement [9]. Cod liver oil supplementation may be helpful in ensuring an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A and vitamin D.

New Environmentally Friendly and Responsible Packaging Caring for the environment and quality, we are gradually introducing new packaging. Instead of the previously used BioPET, we are now using bottles made of rPET (50% recycled plastic) and standard PET – both are fully recyclable. During the transition period, you may receive the product in different packaging variants, but we always ensure their high quality and safety.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us care for our planet together!
