Spectrum Cod Liver Oil contains omega-3 essential fatty acids. These fatty acids include EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are popular omega-3 fatty acids. Cod liver oil is believed to contain a higher dose of both fatty acids, thus being an optimum choice for those choosing to supplement. This oil comes from Norwegian Arctic Cod that are found in very cold water. It is made into soft gels to swallow easily. Spectrum also makes an oil with added lemon flavor to add to everyday recipes.
DHA is found in the brain, though not produced naturally. It is recommended to supplement if there is a deficit in the diet. The Mediterranean diet is one rich in omega fatty acids, while the Western diet contains more processed and more convenient foods. DHA may be a very vital component for cognitive development. Women who are pregnant or nursing are advised by some doctors to take this supplement for better development of their infants. Human breast milk is also found to have a very high concentration of DHA.
EPA is thought to improve moods and regulate hormonal imbalances. Those suffering from depression and bipolar disorder may take this supplement in lieu of dangerous mood stabilizers. Omega-3 fatty acids have become popular with people who may be manic depressive.
