Cod Liver Oil is a liquid fat that is obtained from the fresh liver of Atlantic cod or other fish belonging to the cod family. Fish oil in its composition contains essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFA) from the omega-3 group, i.e. eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and is also a good source of vitamin A and vitamin D. Cod Liver Oil has a positive effect on immunity, supports the functioning of the immune system and supports its work, in particular it is recommended in autumn and winter. Vitamin A contained in cod liver oil affects the maintenance of good condition of the skin and mucous membranes, supports the immune system, protecting the body against invasive and infectious diseases. Literature data indicate that omega-3 fatty acids are an essential element in the proper course of metabolic processes. It has been shown that EPA and DHA acids inhibit the processes of inflammatory reactions, as well as allergic reactions.
Omega-3 fatty acids contained in cod liver oil contribute to better brain functioning. Scientific publications point to the important role of omega 3 fatty acids in the process of preventing dementia. It has been shown that in patients with dementia, the content of DHA acids in the plasma and brain is lower, while it has been found that increasing the content of DHA acids in the diet contributes to the improvement of memory and learning processes. It is worth noting that docosahexaeonic acid also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. This acid is a building element of cell membranes of cones and rods in the retina of the eye.Cod liver oil thanks to the presence of omega-3 fatty acids, contributes to the improvement of the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the level of triglycerides in the blood, improve the functioning of the vascular endothelium, and also reduce blood pressure. Many studies confirm that omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) lower the concentration of triglycerides in the blood plasma by inhibiting the resynthesis of triglycerides in the intestinal wall and in the liver, as well as by increasing the breakdown of these compounds. Vitamin A contained in cod liver oil contributes to: Maintaining healthy corneal epithelium, stimulating cell growth and differentiation, proper bone structure, proper functioning of the immune system. Vitamin D contained in cod liver oil determines the proper functioning of calcium and phosphate metabolism and participates in the process of bone calcification. Vitamin D deficiency in the diet can lead to many undesirable effects in the body. In postmenopausal women, enriching the diet with cod liver oil resulted in a beneficial effect on selected risk factors for coronary heart disease, and more specifically, it lowered the concentration of triglycerides in the blood.
