Key Arctic Cod Liver Oil, Orange Flavor 16fl.oz. Benefits
- Supports heart health with EPA and DHA, long-chain omega-3 fats that contribute to normal cardiovascular function.
- Provides DHA for brain health, supporting the fatty membranes that surround nerve cells and help them communicate.
- Supports normal retinal cell structure through DHA, a prominent omega-3 fat in the light-sensitive tissue of the eyes.
- Contributes omega-3 fats involved in normal immune cell activity and signaling.
How Arctic Cod Liver Oil, Orange Flavor 16fl.oz. Works
After digestion, the triglyceride-form omega-3s supply fatty acids that the body can incorporate into cell membranes. These membranes are flexible boundaries that help cells exchange signals with their surroundings. EPA also provides material for signaling compounds involved in normal immune responses, while DHA is especially important in nerve and retinal membranes.
Taking cod liver oil supplies EPA and DHA directly, rather than relying entirely on the limited conversion of plant-based omega-3 fats. The total omega-3 amount includes EPA, DHA, and other omega-3s; it is not the same as the total fat listed on the label.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid): EPA helps support normal immune signaling. It becomes part of cell membranes and supplies building material for molecules that help coordinate the body's inflammatory response, contributing to the maintenance of balanced cellular communication.
- DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): DHA helps maintain the structure and function of brain and retinal cell membranes. Its flexible structure helps membrane proteins work normally, supporting nerve-cell communication and the light-signaling processes involved in normal vision.
Arctic Cod Liver Oil, Orange Flavor 16fl.oz. Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking a daily liquid source of EPA and DHA from wild Arctic cod.
- Adults who prefer an orange-flavored fish oil rather than swallowing soft gels.
- Adults comparing omega-3 supplements for nutritional support of heart, brain, and normal immune function.
