What is the origin of Cod Liver Oil?
Far north in the icy Atlantic, lives a truly remarkable
culture of people who have withstood the challenges of harsh weather and
long seasons of darkness. This is the island nation of Iceland.
Cod liver oil has always been an important part of the
diet for the Icelandic people. They instinctively recognized the importance
of vitamin A, vitamin D and the essential omega-3 fatty acids found in cod
liver oil.
Regular use of cod liver oil has supported the overall
health of the Icelandic people for hundreds of years. Now, this same product
is available to support your overall health.
How is Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil different
from other cod liver oils?
Other cod liver oils remove the naturally occurring
vitamins A and D during the deodorizing process and then supplement the
finished product with synthetic forms. Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil by
Garden of Life is undeodorized, unbleached and contains naturally occurring vitamins A and
D.
Is Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil tested for heavy
metals?
All batches undergo quality control measures which include
testing by independent laboratories for heavy metals, dioxins and other
contaminants to ensure that they are within normal limits and ranges.
What are the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids?
Lack of adequate amounts of essential fatty acids such as
EPA and DHA in the typical North American diet is a growing concern. Besides
their cardio-vascular benefits, a significant scientific body of research
provides evidence that these Omega-3 fatty acids also support healthy
neurological and brain function.*
What are the benefits of Vitamin D supplementation?
Current research shows that Vitamin D deficiency, believed
to be almost non-existent in the North American population, might be more
prevalent than originally thought.
Vitamin D, well known for its ability to support calcium
metabolism, has also been shown to support healthy carbohydrate metabolism.
* Research shows that healthy individuals without a Vitamin D deficiency
more often demonstrate a normal glucose metabolism than their Vitamin D
deficient counterparts. Additionally, Vitamin D is suggested to play a
pivotal role in supporting normal muscle tone and strength*. |
