The lemon flavor of this cod liver oil allows me to use a tablespoon and slug it down. It doesn't taste at all like fish, it's actually very refreshing.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids Through COD Liver Oil May 4, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
DHA and EPA are essential for the cardiovascular system. To keep your blood reaching everywhere in particular to your brain, other extremities, and most importantly coursing through your heart you must take Omega 3 Fatty Acids with your diet. The reason for this admonisment is we are eating less and less wholesome, higly processed foods. If your diet is rich with seafood you are already there, otherwise take good cod liver oil as a daily supplement.
If you have five decades or more behing you, it's all the more compulsory to take a good fish oil.
You ill you feel or observe when you take a teaspoon of this stuff on a daily basis: a very lively, shiny, healthy skin.- provided your health otherwise is OK, you will observe a good zing to your step, and a general feeling of well being.
I have no fiducialry or otherwise relationship whatsoever with the distiller or marketer of this product except I've used it close to a year by now, and can observe all the benefits.
The Freshest Cod Liver Oil May 2, 2008
14 out of 22 found this review helpful
I am trully impressed by the ability of the vitamins, minerals, etc. that our Creator made to sustain us to produce optimal health and even turn around disease conditions. This is so contrary to the many side affects of all the prescription drugs on the market. Necessary nutrients strengthen your immune system to fight disease, while allopathic drugs poison your system, as they deplete you body of the nutrients it needs to heal.
As a person who strongly believes in letting my food be my medicine bottle, cod liver oil is my vitamin D, EPA and DHA supplement of choice. I've tried several brands of health food cod liver oils and all but one were rancid tasting. The only other really fresh one is now unobtainable.
Just because a cod liver oil says Norwegian on the label, doesn't mean you are receiving a premium grade of cod liver oil. The Norwegians use the finest oil for themselves, which you certainly can't fault them for and sell the inferior stuff to Amercia and other countries. Carlson's is the only premium grade Norwegian cod liver oil I have found. It is lemon flavored and not at all fishy or rancid (spoiled) tasting.
While you want to get enough Vitamin D, you want to be careful not to overdose on vitamin A. The RDA for vitamin D is 400 IU. This was set years ago, before the latest research was done and is way to low. It was set at a dose that would prevent rickets, not promote optimal health in children, much less adults. The latest findings show that adults need at least 1,200 IU and dark skinned individuals need even more. Adults should consume no more than 5,000 IU of vitamin A, which is the RDA for this vitamin. Unlike vitamin A, its precursor beta carotene is safe to take in larger doses. So while I get part of my vitamin D from cod liver oil and a small amount from my multi-vitamin, the rest comes from a vitamin D supplement that contains no vitamin A.
From what I've read, only people in Southern Florida get enough vitamin D in the winter months in the United States. All the various writers agree, its hard to overdose on vitamin D. Living in northern Wisconsin, I take 1,800 IU a day and am thinking of joining a tanning saloon and getting part of my vitamin D from a tanning bed. Even in summer, the cloud cover prevents you from laying out in the sun. If you can possibly get a moderate amount of sun expose, do so. Build up to laying out for 15 minutes a side from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. You need to expose as much of body as possible to the sun. For any additional time spent in the sun, rather than lathering up with sunscreen, which can cause the the lower layers of your skin to burn and increase your risk of skin cancer, put on some cool protective clothing. The sunscreens presently on the matrket do not filter out UVA rays, but only UBA rays. The UVB rays produce vitamin D and can not penetrate to the lower layers of the skin. The UVA rays give you a tan and can filter to the lower layers of the skin. Darked skinned people can expose their skin to the sun for longer periods of time than light skinned ones.
The best book that I have read on vitamin D is called, "Vitamin D: Is It The Fountain of Youth?" It is written by Paul Stitt, MS whom I had the priveldge of hearing speak several times, as well as reading all of his books. His ideas on a healthy diet and other lifestyle issues are well balanced. Paul is from Wisconsin and gets sun exposure when he can, and also spplements with plenty of vitamin D.
Some authors on the subject of vitamins and minerals tout a vegeterian or vegan diet which is unhealthy for many reasons. 1) You can not get EPA & DHA, which are found primarily in cold water fish on a vegan or vegeterian diet. EPA and DHA are brain food. Our bodies cells must have them to function properly. 2) As the main source of it is found in meat, you cannot get B12 on a vergan diet and it is difficult to get it on a vegeterian one. You don't need large amounts of B12, but without it you will be unhealthy. After being on a vegan diet for over a year, my husband and I had our B12 levels checked. They were depleted. Don't say thay you can get your B12 from nutritional yeast. Unlike the B12 in animal products the B12 in nutritional yeast is an analoq, which is unusable by the body. You also can't get B12 from plant based supplements. You only get B12 from animal products. 3) All of your fat soluable vitamins, which are essential for health, are found mainly in animal products.
