Arctic Cod Liver Oil 237 ml - Unflavored

Product description: Cod liver oil from 100% wild Arctic cod - no other fish oils are ever used. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, the brain and vision. Unflavoured - cod liver oil in its most literal form, without a flavour layer on top. Long before anyone had isolated a fatty acid or drawn a molecule, Norwegian coastal families were pressing oil from cod livers and taking a spoonful through the dark months - which makes cod liver oil arguably the oldest supplement still standing. Nordic Naturals was founded on exactly that memory, and Arctic Cod Liver Oil 237 ml - Unflavored is the product closest to it! The oil comes from 100% wild Arctic cod and nothing else - no other fish oils are ever blended in - and it is delivered in the natural triglyceride form, the shape these fats already have inside the fish, so the body is not asked to rearrange them first. This is the plainest version in the family - the oil itself, with no flavour layer built on top of it, which is exactly what people who want cod liver oil in its original sense ask for. Because cod liver oil is a whole-liver oil rather than a concentrate, small naturally occurring amounts of vitamins A and D come along with it. A teaspoon a day, straight or stirred into food, is the entire ritual. What earns the spoonful its place are the two long-chain marine fatty acids the body cannot produce in any useful quantity by itself. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, an organ with no days off and no substitute. DHA then does something quite different from a nutrient that merely fuels: it is built physically into the membranes of brain cells and of the retina, where membrane flexibility is what lets a signal pass cleanly from one cell to the next - and so it contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. A liquid has one practical advantage the capsules cannot match: reaching a generous daily intake costs one teaspoon rather than a handful of soft gels, which is why the bottle tends to be the format chosen by households where more than one person is taking it. Bring back the oldest good habit in the north - one spoonful a day!
