COD LIVER OIL 雪鱼油

Cod liver oil and its vitamin D for strong bone development

There are 2 major factors known to contribute to osteoporosis - peak bone mass during childhood and adolescence, and the rate of bone loss which occurs during aging.

Researchers found that hypovitaminosis D - deficiency in vitamin D - in adolescents has harmful effects on bone mineral growth, particularly at the lumbar spine, during a period of development when peak bone mass should be reached. They say that vitamin D supplements should be considered during the pre-puberty and puberty years which are a crucial stage in preventing osteoporosis later on in life.


Who should take cod liver oil?

For years, nutritionists recommended cod liver oil as a dietary supplement to support healthy vitamin D levels. However, based on more recent findings, I am updating my recommendations regarding cod liver oil, as it may not serve you as well as previously believed.

Nutritionists previous recommendation was based on the fact that cod liver oil contains vitamins D and A in addition to healthy omega-3 fats.

However, both vitamin D and omega-3s are still essential for optimal health.

Optimizing your vitamin D levels is also of paramount importance. If you are vitamin D deficient, you're inviting premature death from nearly any disease.

Fish oil is beneficial as a dietary supplement for those aged four and above who obtain adequate vitamin D from exposure to sunshine.

A harmonious balance would be 1:1 between omega-3 to omega-6. Some estimates put the typical balance at 1:20 or even 1:50. Supplementing with omega-3 can help maintain or restore your healthy omega-3 balance.*

Also, omega-3s are considered essential fatty acids, meaning they must come from a food source, since your body cannot produce them.


Cod Liver oil can support your health in these ways:

1. Help promote heart health and normal cholesterol balance
2. Support immune system health, mood, memory, joint health, blood sugar health,
    and helps relieve stress
3. Help increase energy level and promote cognitive function
4. Provide immune system support
5. Help provide nutritional support to pregnant women
6. Aid in regulating cell growth and division
7. Support a strong skeletal system
8. Support a healthy inflammatory response


What are omega-3 oils?

Omega-3 fatty acids are long-chain carbons, polyunsaturated with many double bonds -which are important and essential nutrients for good health. The term omega-3 refers to the location of the first double bond on the third carbon.

Omega-3 fatty acids include DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid).


What is the difference between these types of omega-3 oils?

EPA and DHA have a longer structure and contain more double bonds than ALA. EPA and DHA support healthy cardiovascular health and immune health. Fish oils (including cod liver oil) supply omega-3 levels especially high in EPA and DHA. Some vegetable oils provide ALA.


What are essential fatty acids?

Essential fatty acids are those that are important or even crucial to your optimal health, yet cannot be produced by your body (they must be supplied by food consumption).


Why not just eat fish?

Mercury contamination in fish throughout the world is a concern. The risk of mercury impacting your health can outweigh the benefits of the omega-3 fats you consume when you eat fish. Therefore, nutritionists recommend that you limit your consumption of fish, whether ocean, freshwater, or farm-raised.

Cod liver oil from a high quality source doesn’t pose the same risk as fresh fish. That's because they are purified of mercury, PCBs and many other contaminants.

Cod liver oil is high in vitamin D, sometimes called the "sunshine vitamin".* If you are outside in warm weather, sunshine produces high and generally sufficient levels of vitamin D without supplementation.

If you aren't sure of what you should take, please consult your medical practitioner and have your vitamin D levels tested.


Can fish oil help kids?

Regular consumption of Cod Liver oil can benefit children. As it does with adults, it will optimize kids' health and promote proper brain function. Cod liver oil used to be one of the top recommendations for this.


Will Cod Liver Oil help my heart?

Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to promote good overall health and cardio health. Studies suggest that omega-3s promote normal cholesterol levels and normal inflammatory response - which benefit a healthy heart. Vitamin D also supports good heart health.


Will fish oil affect my pregnancy?

Studies suggest that fish oil intake during pregnancy can contribute to healthy pregnancies and omega-3 supplementation and restriction of omega-6s help support brain function and mood both during pregnancy and post-partum.
