Cod Liver Oil combines cod liver oil with naturally associated vitamins A and D. That makes it different from a plain fish oil. Cod liver oil is commonly chosen when you want omega oils together with the fat soluble vitamins that naturally occur in the oil, especially for immune health, eye health and everyday nourishment.
The most useful detail before buying is that this is a lower dose daily softgel, not a very high potency omega concentrate. Vitamin A supports skin, eyes and immune function, while vitamin D supports immune health and bone health. That combination is the reason cod liver oil has stayed popular for so long.
What does Cod Liver Oil provide besides oil? It also provides vitamins A and D, which are naturally associated with cod liver oil and are listed on the label.
What is cod liver oil commonly used for? Cod liver oil is commonly used for everyday omega support together with vitamins A and D for immune, eye and general wellbeing support.
How is this different from a plain fish oil? The main difference is the added nutritional role of vitamins A and D, not just the oil itself.
