Cod Liver Oil: From Past to Present
Cod liver oil is a supplement that many people remember well from their childhood. In the 1950s, children were often given a spoonful of cod liver oil, extracted from the livers of fish such as cod and halibut. This was intended to support their resistance and to prevent rickets (bone deformity). However, after the Margarine Decree of 1961 made vitamin D mandatory in margarine and half-fat margarine, cod liver oil slowly faded into the background and fish oil became popular, even though this oil did not contain vitamin A and D.
Today, more and more doctors and health experts are rediscovering the benefits of cod liver oil. The taste is now much milder, and the oil is now colorless or pale yellow, with a mild fishy odor. The use of cod liver oil even dates back to the time of the Vikings (700-1100 AD), who gave it the name "gold of the ocean." Cod liver oil Rosita Real Foods is still produced using these age-old, artisanal methods, making it the most authentic and pure cod liver oil available.
Difference Between Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil
Although the terms cod liver oil and fish oil are often used interchangeably, there are important differences. Cod liver oil is a fish oil, but not all fish oil is cod liver oil. Regular fish oil is usually pressed from whole fish and contains mainly omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), but lacks vitamins A and D. Cod liver oil, on the other hand, is extracted exclusively from the livers of fish, such as cod, haddock or dragon fish. It contains not only the valuable omega-3 fatty acids, but also vitamin A, vitamin D, and important nutrients such as phosphorus and iodine.
These rich nutrients make cod liver oil the most natural and complete form of fish oil. Cod liver oil is a popular supplement, especially for children, because it contains vitamin D, which is important for the skeleton, immune system and teeth. Vitamin A also supports the immune system and is essential for vision and skin.
