With so many different products on the market, why do I choose Standard Process Cod Liver Oil?
Standard Process Cod Liver Oil contains vitamins A and D with EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, as nature intended. No additional Vitamin A or D is added! The oil is extracted from cod fish from the Norwegian waters. With excellent stability and research-validated quality, each batch of SP Cod Liver Oil is third-party tested for purity.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) are both omega-3 fatty acids. They are most studied for their ability to modulate the body’s normal response to the natural inflammatory process, their role in triglyceride processing and their support of blood flow. Other areas of investigation are gut health, lung function, and effect on pathways that contribute to a healthy mood.
