Description

Cod liver oil is extracted from the liver of the codfish. This oil is naturally rich in vitamin A, Vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Due to the numerous health benefits of cod liver oil, it is found in many natural products marketed as omega-3 supplements.

It was in the 1800s, cod liver oil supplements became very popular especially for children who were deficient of Vitamin D and were suffering from rickets due to lack of sunlight exposure.

Health Benefits of Cod Liver Oil

Traditionally, cod liver oil supplements were used to cure rickets among children. Later, further studies suggested it can also help to relieve arthritis-related pain and joint stiffness.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), fish oil is probably beneficial for the prevention of heart diseases, reduces blood pressure, cholesterol, asthma, menstrual pain, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. However, the NIH does not specify whether cod liver oil, in particular, might produce these health benefits.

Although its usage started for a long, a lot of research needs to be yet done on this wonder supplement. Few have been taken up which we can discuss in this article:

  1. Helps reduce arthritis chances: Cod liver oil being abundant in Vitamin D and Omega-3 supplements can do wonders for your joints. Vitamin D is synthesized effectively when exposed beneath the skin. Vitamin D is more concentrated as compared to the other food sources and thus improves vitamin D absorption and thus can help improve bone density. In one of the studies, the intakes of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSIAD) were reduced by 30% in the subjects who were taking cod liver oil supplements daily. Joint health plays a very important role in athletes. To help them recover faster, it is important to source them with a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
  2. Acts as a boon for postmenopausal women: A women once enter the menopausal stages goes through lots of hormonal changes. One such change would be decreased absorption of calcium and vitamin D and this may lead to osteoarthritis. Cod Liver Oil is high in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for providing joint flexibility. In post-menopausal women, cod liver oil protects against bone mineral loss and reduces the risk of bone fractures. This is one of the very important benefits of cod liver oil.
  3. Boosts brain health: Cod liver oil being high in omega-3 fatty acids especially DHA. DHA is vital right from the baby is inside the mother’s womb. DHA is vital for the development of the brain and emotional health. For adults, increasing these fatty acids can help brain health by controlling insulin sensitivity in the brain to ward off obesity, type-2 diabetes and prevent cognitive decline.
  4. May help skin health: Omega-3 Fatty Acids are known and widely studied for controlling inflammation. It suppresses the protein that might lead to inflammation. This function of omega-3 fatty acids can also be observed in cod liver oil. The anti-inflammatory property of cod liver oil can help promote skin health by reducing the formation of free radicals and oxidation rates.

Other health benefits of cod liver oil supplement would include promoting eye health due to high DHA content, protecting your heart and help reducing cholesterol. GNC Cod Liver Oil supplies a significant amount of Vitamin A, D and Vitamin E.
