Cod Liver Oil can help in the following ways:

High Triglycerides - These Omega-3 fatty acids, help keep blood triglycerides in check (high triglycerides are generally linked with increased risk of heart disease) and may inhibit the progression of arthrosclerosis. EPA and DHA keep blood from clotting too quickly.

Rheumatoid Arthritis - When the two groups of fatty acids are out of balance, the body releases chemicals that promote inflammation. When under increased psychological stress, an increase of inflammatory chemicals occurs which may lead to increased risk of RA.

Prostaglandins - are hormone-like substances produced within the body that regulate dilation of blood vessels, inflammatory response, and other critical processes. Omega-3 fatty acids are needed for prostaglandin formation. Probably as a result of their effect on prostaglandin’s responsible for blood vessel dilation. 

Schizophrenia - is linked with abnormalities in fatty acid metabolism, and preliminary research suggests that fish oil supplementation may be helpful to people with schizophrenia.

Immune System - EPA and DHA also modulate the immune system probably as a result of their effect on prostaglandin production. Preliminary evidence also shows that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may help regulate the rhythm of the heart. EPA and DHA have been reported to help prevent cardiac arrhythmia.

Recommended Daily Intake:

Adults and children over 6 years of age, one capsule daily. Adults can increase up to two capsules daily if required. Do not exceed recommended daily intake unless advised by a suitably qualified person
