I have to admit that there were times when that desire resulted in some pretty yucky tasting, if "HEALTHY" experiences in our home.
How very grateful I am now to have a product, once again sourced from Dr. Ben Kim, that I consider essential to health.
This wonderful COD LIVER OIL has a lemon taste that makes it very easy to use. As with the GREENS you need to take it daily. Carlson"s Cod Liver Oil is, I believe, the best on the market. The oil is from cod harvested off the coast of Norway. It is the best due to the optimal amounts of EPA and DHA, the strict guidelines they follow for purity (keeping their oil free of chemical modification and contaminants like mercury or lead) and the addition of extra vitamin E to protect the freshness and potency of the oil.
Carlson's test their fish oil regularly for potency and purity by an independent,FDA registered laboratory and found them to be free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB's and 28 other contaminants. These are all important considerations because there is no doubt that all brands of fish oil are not the same and you really do get what you pay for.
I will allow you to read the words of Dr. Ben Kim, to help you understand more about this wonderful oil.

The Health Benefits of Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil
By Ben Kim, D.C.
One of the best additions that my wife and I have made to our diets over the past few years has been cod liver oil. Why has cod liver oil become a permanent part of our healthy food plan? It is one of the most reliable and concentrated food sources of four nutrients that are essential to your health: DHA, EPA, vitamin A, and vitamin D. These four nutrients are needed for:
- Healthy skin
- Strong bones and teeth
- Healthy joints
- A healthy cardiovascular system
- A healthy nervous system and prevention of depression and other mood disorders
- A healthy lining for your digestive tract
DHA is a fatty acid that is essential to the health of your nervous system and eyes. It is vital to preventing depression. If you suffer from intermittent or chronic depression, this is one nutrient that you want to get every single day. If you want to get pregnant or are pregnant, you need to eat foods with DHA on a regular basis in order to support proper development of your baby’s nervous system and prevent depression during pregnancy and after the baby arrives. I am convinced that the vast majority of cases of post partum (after delivery) depression can be avoided just by taking cod liver oil each day.
EPA is a fatty acid that promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and decreases inflammation throughout your body. Its anti-inflammatory properties makes EPA especially helpful to people who suffer with arthritis. EPA is also closely linked with your emotional health, with many studies showing that it plays a strong role in preventing depression.
Vitamin A is necessary for proper vision, healthy skin, and strong mucosal linings, including the lining of your digestive tract. Many skin and digestive disorders cannot fully heal without a reliable supply of vitamin A.
Vitamin D is essential to maintaining strong bones and teeth. It enhances the strength and efficiency of your immune system, which decreases your risk of developing autoimmune conditions. Vitamin D helps your body regulate its blood sugar levels, playing an important role in preventing type II diabetes. Finally, vitamin D is one of several nutrients that are necessary for preventing high blood pressure.
My wife and I use a lemon flavoured variety of cod liver oil made by Carlson Labs. For the past twenty years, Carlson has been providing exceptionally high quality cod liver oil by using only cod that are harvested from clean arctic waters off the coast of northern
During the fishing season, cod are gathered and brought to the fishery everyday, where workers immediately remove the liver oil from the liver tissues. Many other types of cod liver oil are not made on a daily basis because they come from cod that are caught by large boats which are out on the ocean for 1-2 weeks, making it impossible to make as fresh a product. This is an important point, as the freshness and nutritional content of cod liver oil depends largely on how quickly the oil is removed from the liver tissue.
Carlson uses a special steam extraction process that produces a super high quality oil that doesn’t have a bad taste or smell like some other varieties. As soon as the oil is produced, it is put into 2.5 ton containers that have nitrogen pumped into them. Nitrogen is necessary to remove any oxygen in the containers, another important step that is taken to maximize freshness, as oxygen can damage the valuable fatty acids in cod liver oil.
Ultimately, purified cod liver oil that is rich in nutrients and naturally occurring antioxidants is bottled in
I appreciate that Carlson Cod Liver Oil is regularly tested using AOAC international protocols for purity and potency by an independent, FDA registered laboratory. These tests regularly confirm that Carlson Cod Liver Oil is free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB’s and 28 other contaminants.
If you are anxious about the taste, not to worry. Carlson Cod Liver Oil has a natural lemon flavour added to it, which makes it totally fine to take before or during your meals. We prefer to take it right before lunch or dinner in order to facilitate optimal assimilation of the healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the foods that we eat.
If you’re thinking about taking capsules instead of the liquid, I highly encourage you to try the liquid for a month. Through my own experimenting and observing my patients over the years, I have found that taking the pure liquid produces superior results compared to taking gel capsules.
Please note: For most people, a safe dosage of cod liver oil is approximately two teaspoons per day. Two teaspoons will provide you with the following:
| Nutrients in 2 teaspoons of Carlson Cod Liver Oil | |||
| DHA (DocosaHexaenoic Acid) | 1000 to 1180 mg | | |
| EPA (EicosaPentaenoic Acid) | 680 to 1000 mg | | |
| | 80 to 100 mg | | |
| Vitamin A | 1600 IU | | |
| Vitamin D | 800 IU | | |
| Vitamin E (natural d-alpha tocopherol and mixed tocopherols) | 20 IU | | |
If you want to take more than two teaspoons per day, I recommend that you visit your doctor or a laboratory where you can have your vitamin D status tested. Having too much vitamin D in your blood can be harmful to your health
