Cod liver oil supplements have been popular for centuries. It is obtained from the liver of the cod fish and mainly contains omega 3 fatty acids as EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It also contains large amounts of vitamin A and D which are good for your bones, skin and eye sight. Due to the change in dietary pattern, there is a reduction in eating fish and this may reduce the essential fatty acids and vitamins needed for the body. Cod liver oil supplements fulfil this need by having all the essential fatty acids and nutrients in perfect combination.
