Cod liver oil is a nutritional supplement derived from the liver of codfish, primarily the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, making it a widely used supplement for a variety of health conditions. Cod liver oil is a valuable supplement with a strong track record in supporting heart, bone, and immune health. However, due to its high vitamin A and D content, moderation is key, and it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider if taken long-term or in high doses.
