Cod Liver Oil 30ml

Cod liver oil

Cod liver oil is used for high cholesterol, high triglycerides, kidney disease in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoarthritis, depression, an autoimmune disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), glaucoma, and middle ear infections (otitis media).

Some people put cod liver oil on their skin to speed wound healing.

When taken in appropriate doses by mouth, cod liver oil seems to help lower high triglycerides (a type of blood fat), lower high blood pressure, and treat some symptoms of kidney disease related to diabetes. It doesn’t seem to lower high cholesterol or reduce arthritis pain. Other uses are still under investigation.

How does it work?
Cod liver oil contains certain "fatty acids" that prevent the blood from clotting easily. These fatty acids also reduce pain and swelling.
Effective for:
Lowering blood fats called triglycerides. Taking cod liver oil by mouth can reduce triglyceride levels by 20% to 50% in people with high triglyceride levels.

High blood pressure. Taking cod liver oil by mouth seems to lower blood pressure (both numbers) a small, but important, amount in people with mild high blood pressure.
Kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. Taking cod liver oil seems to reduce protein in the urine, a marker for kidney disease severity.

Osteoarthritis.
Cholesterol disease that runs in families (familial hypercholesterolemia).

Depression. There is some evidence that people who take cod liver oil have fewer symptoms of depression than other people.
Irregular heartbeat in people with heart disease. There is some early evidence that cod liver oil might help to prevent certain types of irregular heartbeat.
Ear infections in young children. Preliminary research suggests that taking cod liver oil along with a children's multivitamin-mineral product containing selenium might prevent or decrease the number of ear infections in young children.
Heart disease.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Wound healing.
Glaucoma.
Other conditions.

The following doses have been studied in scientific research:

BY MOUTH:
For lowering triglycerides: 20 mL of cod liver oil per day.
For high cholesterol: 30 mL of cod liver oil per day.
For lowering blood pressure: 20 mL of cod liver oil per day.
