okay so today we’re going to talk about

the difference between cod liver oil

versus fish oil I’ve been getting some

questions on this so I want to cover it

now with cod liver oil you’re not going

to have as much omega-3 fatty acids

which is EPA in DHA so with fish oil

you’re going to have higher amounts of

EPA and DHA so if we compare those with

cod liver oil you’re dealing with like

8% EPA and with fish you’re gonna get

18% so it’s significantly more but not

like way over the top okay and then DHA

10% vs. 12% so these are pretty close

this is just a little bit more

I prefer cod liver oil because it has

high levels of vitamin A and vitamin D

and the perfect balance that you need

whereas fish oil does not okay now the

benefit of vitamin A for the eyes are

huge preventing night blindness helping

the macula of the eye it’s good for skin

immune system and even can decrease the

risk of kidney stones however that the

studies on that were mainly done with

getting the vitamin A from beef liver

not cholera well different sources of

vitamin A give different benefits column

a well though really helps the the eyes

especially night blindness now vitamin D

can help you decrease blood pressure

decrease stress improve asthma skin

issues like eczema and psoriasis

autoimmune conditions so D is really

good for that and it will also improve

your overall mode now the benefit of

omega-3 and I’m talking about EPA and

DHA

are anti-inflammatory benefits brain

benefits heart immune nervous system and

the blood itself now there are other

omega-3 fatty acids in like walnuts for

example and flaxseed and other nuts but

here’s the thing those are precursors

it’s called ala even though it’s an

omega-3 it’s a precursor to the two the

more of the active form of omega-3 fatty

acids so if you think you’re getting all

of your omega-3 from ala you

not because it has to be converted and

only a smaller percentage is converted

however you can get DHE from final

planked in other sources and lastly the

type of cod liver I’m going to recommend

is virgin cod liver oil it’s less

processed it has does they don’t add the

vitamins back in it comes naturally with

vitamin A and vitamin D and so it’s just

it’s a higher quality product alright
