Cod liver oil resurgence highlights nutritional differences from fish oil

cod liver oil omega-3 fatty acids vitamin D vitamin A dietary supplements

Cod liver oil is experiencing a resurgence as a dietary supplement, driven by its high content of Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, which are beneficial for heart and brain health.

While often confused with standard fish oil, cod liver oil is distinct because it is extracted from the livers of fish, such as cod, rather than from fatty tissue. This difference results in cod liver oil providing significant amounts of fat-soluble vitamins A and D, whereas standard fish oil typically contains little to none.
