History and Usage:
The use of Cod Liver Oil has been around for centuries beginning in the fishing villages of Scotland, Iceland, Norway and Greenland. Used to help relieve the pains of rheumatoid arthritis and stiff joints, its value was not fully established until researchers examined it closely in the middle of the 20th century. Cod liver oil is a valuable source of the omega-3 essential fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). It is also an excellent source of Vitamin D.
The American Heart Association has endorsed omega-3 fatty acids as good for the heart. Through the years, hundreds of studies have established that diets high in omega-3 fatty acids experience a decrease in the risk of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart rhythms. Two clinical studies concluded that including omega-3 rich foods or supplements in the diet could prevent sudden death from abnormal heart rhythms. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in your blood while increasing the HDL (“good”) cholesterol. They also protect the heart by preventing blood clots and keeping other fats from injuring arterial walls.
Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids like those found in Cod Liver Oil have beneficial effects on several conditions. Taking high amounts can help lower blood pressure and has been shown to help prevent hypertension in post-transplant cardiac patients. Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the action of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes and therefore can help control arthritis symptoms. Patients taking fish oil supplements saw notable reductions in tender joints and morning stiffness as well as an increase in grip strength. Studies have shown fish oil supplements reduced the need for pain medications in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Early laboratory studies appear to show that omega-3 fatty acids might prolong life in people with autoimmune disorders like diabetes. It also appears to decrease abdominal cramping, diarrhea and pain associated with Crohn’s disease.
