Are some fats good for you?
We eat a variety of fats every day, from salad dressings and snack foods to savoury meats and buttery baked goods. Everyone knows that too much of some fats can cause problems, but many people do not realise that certain types of fats, called omega-3 fatty acids, are essential to maintaining good overall health and wellbeing.
Omega-3 fats support health at the cellular level, where they help give cell membranes their structure, enabling them to absorb and hold in nutrients and usher out waste. They also promote healthy cellular functions throughout the body, supporting vital nervous and immune system functions, and more.
Getting enough of these foundational “good fats” is an important part of supporting optimal health –especially as we grow older. The most effective ways to obtain healthy omega-3 fats are through diet and supplementation. But for many people, maintaining a diet with plentiful regular servings of oily, fatty fish can be a challenge. That is why high-quality omega-3 supplements provide a convenient, safe, and reliable way for everyone to get the omega-3 nutrients we all need, day after day.
Cod liver oil is the classic omega-3 supplement. For centuries, it has been used in Scandinavian societies to help keep young and older people healthy during the long and cold Arctic winters. Arctic cod are naturally rich in the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA that our bodies need for healthy brain, eye, heart and nervous system function. Omega-3s found in cod liver oil also help support a healthy immune system, joint mobility and cellular health as we age.
Since 1995, Nordic Naturals’ award-winning Arctic Cod Liver Oil has delivered impeccably pure, great-tasting cod liver oil to customers across the globe. Made exclusively from wild-caught Arctic cod from sustainable Norway fisheries, Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil contains omega-3s in the triglyceride form, the same form that these fats naturally exist in fish, and the form the body can best recognise and use. And, like all Nordic Naturals products, Arctic Cod Liver Oil meets strict international standards for fish oil purity and quality. Unlike other “cod liver oils” on the market, no fish body oils or synthetic vitamins or additives are ever used.
Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver oil comes in a variety of delicious flavours for taking right off the spoon or mixing into your favourite food and drink, and are so fresh and tasty you can barely tell they’re from fish! Also available in convenient, lemon-flavoured soft-gels.
