Cod Liver Oil: The “Miracle Substance”
Hello Linsy from LTYGShoppe, and today I want to talk to you about my favorite healthy fat, cod liver oil! Cod liver oil has been praised as a “miracle substance” for centuries, and I really feel like this is the case! Let’s discuss the benefits of cod liver oil and how you can incorporate them into your daily routine.
Benefits of Cod Liver Oil
Jini actually consumed copious amounts of cod liver oil during her three pregnancies and while breastfeeding because she believed it was so important for fetal brain development. Her whole family takes these lemon flavored cod liver oil capsules every morning along with their vitamin D – they just pop them in their mouth and chew them – the lemon flavor covers everything up and her youngest tries to sneak more!
Some spit out the gel casings, but two of Jini’s children simply chew and swallow them. Jini also adds a vitamin E capsule to their capsule, and these cod liver oil lemon flavored capsules even cover that up. Remember to take it with food! The recommended intake is three capsules daily or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
Which brand of cod liver oil should I use?
I like to take my Nordic Natural brand cod liver oil, which we carry in the LTYG shop, with my morning shake every day! It’s quick, easy and helps me remember to take my daily doses through a routine!
I often open the capsule and pour it into the shake or into my mouth, or if I’m really in a hurry I just swallow the capsule with food. There is no need to open the capsules, so just take this product the way that works best for you!
Fish oil is an excellent source of bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory effects. It is recommended for cardiovascular health, improved blood viscosity, joint mobility, flexibility, healthy skin and hair, and memory function. It is also important for the proper functioning of the immune and nervous systems.
Jini says that every person on this planet would benefit from taking cod liver oil or a fish oil supplement – but especially people with IBD and IBS!
Jini and I love Nordic Naturals because they use 100% arctic cod livers in their cod liver oil formulas – no fish body oils or synthetic additives are ever used!
Arctic cod has the highest DHA, vitamin A and vitamin D content of all cod species.
On average, Nordic Naturals cod liver oil provides over 125 mg more DHA per serving than other cod liver oil products. Each serving contains over 600 mg of the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, meeting the expert recommendation of at least 500 mg per day.
This cod liver oil also contains only naturally occurring vitamin A and vitamin D and NO gluten, milk derivatives or artificial colors or flavors.

A word of caution: However, you should not use fish oil if you are allergic to iodine, are taking blood thinners, or are planning to have surgery.
Even if you are pregnant or diabetic, you should consult your doctor before taking fish oils. And of course keep out of the reach of children!
And there you have it. I highly recommend adding this AMAZING source of bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids to your diet as it is a game-changer for me!
