What is Cod Liver Oil?

Cod liver oil contains more vitamin A and more vitamin D per unit weight than any other common food. One hundred grams of regular cod liver oil provides 100,000 IU of vitamin A, almost three times more than beef liver, the next richest source; and 10,000 IU vitamin D, almost four times more than lard, the next richest source. Of course, cod liver oil is only consumed in small amounts, but even a tablespoon (about 15 grams) provides well over the recommended daily allowance for both nutrients.

In addition, cod liver oil contains 7 percent each of the elongated omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA is the precursor of important prostaglandins, localized tissue hormones that help the body deal with inflammation; and DHA is extremely important for the development and function of the brain and nervous system. So it's no surprise that in numerous studies cod liver oil has proven to be a powerhouse in fighting disease.

Is Cod Liver Oil right for me?

There is hardly a disease in the books that does not respond well to treatment that includes cod liver oil, and not just infectious diseases but also chronic modern diseases like heart disease and cancer. Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults. The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system. "If you want to prevent learning disabilities in your children," said David Horrobin, distinguished medical and biochemical researcher, "feed them cod liver oil."

Scientists have also discovered that cod liver oil can repair arthritic joints as well as lubricating healthy ones.

And they believe supplements could help thousands of patients waiting in agony for hip and knee replacements by beginning a reversal of the degenerative process.

Studies show that Omega 3 fatty acids can slow down or remove the activities of the enzymes that degrade cartilage in arthritis and also keep inflammation down to a lower level.

Daily Mail, Health Article: A daily dose of cod liver oil helps 'cure' arthritis

Scientists have discovered that cod liver oil can repair arthritic joints as well as lubricating healthy ones. And they believe cod liver oil supplements could help thousands of patients waiting in agony for hip and knee replacements by beginning a reversal of the degenerative process.

More than two million people in Britain have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.

The researchers, at Cardiff University, say there are scientific reasons for the long-held belief that cod liver oil is good for joint health. Professor Bruce Caterson, who presented his findings in London yesterday, said it was never too late to start repairing the damage caused by arthritis.

'Cod liver oil can be very helpful and beneficial in arthritic diseases,' he said. 'We've been able to show that we can slow down or remove the activities of the enzymes that degrade cartilage in arthritis and also keep inflammation down to a lower level.

The latest research shows the importance to joint health of essential fatty acids - called Omega-3 fatty acids - contained in cod liver oil and other fish oils. These are incorporated by the body into the cartilage cells damaged in arthritis sufferers. Cartilage is the protective material that covers bones around the joints to stop them grating.

The scientists tested the effect of Omega-3 fatty acids on the cartilage from the discarded arthritic knees of patients who had had knee replacements. Some samples were treated with the substance for 24 hours, while others were not. A chemical was added to mimic an inflammatory response. When researchers looked at the untreated cartilage they found enzymes responsible for destroying it. But in the samples treated with Omega-3 fatty acids the enzymes had been 'switched off'. Fergus Logan, chief executive of the Arthritis Research Campaign, which partly funded the research, said: 'These findings are extremely exciting and offer a scientific basis for why cod liver oil helps people with arthritis - and has done for many years.'
