And then we do a search about it on the internet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although cod liver oil might be seeing some recent spikes in demand, it isn\u2019t really novel. This golden elixir, derived from the liver of cod fish, has been a staple in traditional medicine for centuries. The reason? It\u2019s sheer richness in omega-3, vitamins A and D, and other essential nutrients. But, is it that great?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s dive deeper into the science-backed benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/essential-amino-acids-their-health-benefits-and-top-food-sources\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"318\">cod liver oil<\/a> and see how it can potentially enhance our health.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-482x1024.png\" alt=\"COD Liver oil benefits\" class=\"wp-image-8302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-482x1024.png 482w, https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-141x300.png 141w, https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-768x1632.png 768w, https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-723x1536.png 723w, https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-964x2048.png 964w, https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil-150x319.png 150w, https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Info_Cod-Liver-oil.png 1220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Rich_Source_of_Vitamin_A_and_D\"><\/span>1. Rich Source of Vitamin A and D<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other fish oil supplements, which are extracted from the tissues of fatty fish (herring, anchovies, tuna, and mackerel), cod liver oil is harnessed from the liver of cod fish. And cod liver is a hub of vitamins A and D. This makes cod liver oil a rich source of vitamins A and D.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The recommended daily allowance of Vitamin D is 15mcg(600IU) per day for both men &amp; women.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For adults &gt;70 years 20 mcg (800 IU) of Vitamin D&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>According To ICMR NIN- Vitamin A for men is 1000mcg\/day &amp; 840 mcg\/day for women.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A single tsp of cod liver oil can provide around 40.6 kcal\/ tsp, 1350 mcg of vitamin A and 11.2 mcg of vitamin D. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/173577\/nutrients\">1<\/a>]&nbsp;<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why are these vitamins vital?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why vitamin A?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as retinol, vitamin A helps several body functions stay on track. While the main task of vitamin A is to help you with great vision and let you see well in low-light conditions, it also has other benefits. For example,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vitamin A promotes healthy skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is potent enough to boost immunity&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cell growth sees the benefit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Growth and development get the required support&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why vitamin D?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If vitamin A is the vitamin of your eye, D dictates your body\u2019s strength. A lack of vitamin D can lead to anaemia, which results in fatigue, weakness, and low energy. This is because vitamin D helps our red blood cells carry oxygen to each part of our bodies. Furthermore, it helps in the absorption of calcium, which is the core substance of our bones\u2019 strength.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is important to meet the minimum requirements of vitamins A and D, going over the bar can create issues too. The tolerable Upper Intake Level (ULs) for Vitamin D is 100mcg(4000IU) anything exceeding this can cause toxicity. One should not take over 3000 mcg of vitamin A per day. And if you are pregnant, consult with a doctor as high levels of vitamin A can impact your child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Reduces_Inflammation\"><\/span>2. Reduces Inflammation&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever we read the word \u2018inflammation\u2019, our mind bursts out some sick thoughts. But know that inflammation isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s a natural response of our bodies\u2019 defence mechanism. Rather, chronic inflammation is what we need to be cautious of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cod liver oil benefits us by putting a leash on inflammation. How? Through its omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids reduce inflammation by competing with pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, altering cell membrane composition, and doing a few other too-scientific stuff. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28900017\/\">2<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the vitamins A and D present in cod liver oil act as powerful antioxidants too. Their antioxidant potential neutralises free radicals and thus halts their inflammatory effect. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5971251\/\">3<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36857810\/\">4<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why is chronic inflammation bad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chronic inflammation not only causes intense pain in joints and the body, it also causes tissue damage. This gives way to heart diseases, autoimmune diseases, brain issues, obesity, and whatnot!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Strengthens_Bones\"><\/span>3. Strengthens Bones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Weakness and low energy are not a part of getting old, not at least around the 40s. But the poor diet and lifestyle have put even young people on the brink of fatigue. One common reason behind this low energy is nutrient deficiency. This nutrient deficiency causes your bones to brittle and weaken them to the point you feel too tired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium. Now, calcium mineral is almost 40% of our bones. No matter how much calcium you take, if it is not absorbed, it is waste. Cod liver oil enhances this absorption. This prevents bone loss as we age. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29258769\/\">5<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK109827\/#:~:text=In%20bone%2C%20calcium%20exists%20primarily,resorption%20and%20osteoblastic%20bone%20formation.\">6<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is taken as a supplement in regions far from the equator, such as Iceland, where sun rays have lesser reach. However, numerous studies have shown a negative impact of cod liver oil on children, most possibly due to the higher concentration of vitamin A (which was reduced later on). If you are planning these capsules for your children, consult your doctor first. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5490077\/#:~:text=Cod%20liver%20oil%20is%20a,in%20old%20age%20is%20unclear.\">7<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18033763\/\">8<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_May_Help_Heart_Health\"><\/span>4.

They can even be used as \u2018synonyms\u2019 for \u2018modern world\u2019. But they must be dealt with, at least with proper diet and supplementation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More and more studies today are linking depression with chronic inflammation, low energy, and obesity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While cod liver oil does work on controlling chronic inflammation, enhancing energy levels through its vitamin D richness, and treating obesity, a direct link between cod liver oil and reduced depression was still needed. And it came in the form of a large study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large study done on nearly 22,000 people found that cod liver oil reduced the symptoms of depression quite significantly, more so when taken for a longer duration. This is possibly due to its high antioxidant and omega-3 fatty acid content. Omega-3 fatty acids work well on leashing symptoms of stress and depression. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17184843\/\">12<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5481805\/#:~:text=There%20is%20also%20significant%20evidence,treating%20the%20symptoms%20of%20dementia.\">13<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_May_Help_Digestive_Health\"><\/span>6.

However, sometimes, the situation turns gloomy. For example, gut infection leads to pain, nausea, discomfort, and poor digestion. When not controlled, this even leads to breaks or tears in the gut lining and stomach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasons behind this are many \u2013 smoking, a diet high in fats and spices, infection, injury, stress, too much stomach acid, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cod liver oil has been found to be helpful in healing these cracks (ulcers) in the stomach or guts. However, more studies are needed to put a conclusive stamp on this benefit of cod liver oil. <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/rjptonline.org\/AbstractView.aspx?PID=2019-12-1-2\">14<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, as we see, our mothers asking us to take our daily dose of cod liver oil were not wrong at all.
