Fermented cod liver oil made from the liver (A large, reddish-brown, glandular vertebrate organ) of cod fish as it contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, DHA and high levels of vitamins A and D. Fermented cod liver oil is made by the traditional method of slow lacto-fermenting with zero heat. Thousands of micronutrients are present in this oil, including several natural forms of vitamin A and D. It is truly a whole food supplement.

Most cod liver oil is made by cooking the whole cod body tissues of fatty fish during the manufacture of fish meal. This process destroys the natural vitamin A and D present in cod livers. Fish oil is similar, but has much lower levels of vitamins A and D. All fish-based supplements may contain toxins such as mercury and PCBs found in fish. Make sure the supplement is tested regularly for purity.
