ORIGINS 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 of 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.
Cod liver oil was used as a panacea for everything that effected their health and daily activities.
Today, Icelanders live longer than any other people on earth. They have less heart disease and high blood pressure than any other culture in the world. They also have the lowest infant mortality rate. Icelandic women give birth to healthy babies with well developed immune systems, nervous systems and optimal brain and eye functions.
Regular use of cod liver oil has supported the overall health of the Icelandic people for thousands of years. Now, this same product is available to support your overall health.
