This cod liver oil is the crudest form on the market, purposely
less refined to retain the unsaturated fatty acids: linoleic, linolenic and
arachidonic. A specific Omega-3 fatty acid called EPA (eicosapentaenoic
acid) found in cold water fish and marine mammals has been found to
help protect against heart conditions. The primary mechanism responsible for
this is EPA’s nutritional ability to thin blood and discourage excess
blood clotting. Additionally, EPA may aid in protecting our bodies by lowering
triglycerides while raising HDL’s (high-density lipoproteins), which are
beneficial lipoproteins.
EPA has anti-inflammatory agents which can have positive effects
on the immune system. Cod liver oil is also an effective source of essential Vitamins
A and D.
