Heritage of Cod Liver Oil
Cod Liver Oil is the original Omega-3 health supplement. Its health reputation has been known for centuries, but the Cod Liver Oil known to our forefathers bore very little resemblance to the clear, pure, refined oil Seven Seas produces today.
In the early part of the 20th century it was discovered that Cod Liver Oil naturally contains Vitamin A (for good eyesight and healthy skin) and Vitamin D (for the growth and maintenance of strong bones and teeth). The Pure Cod Liver Oil range now contains products with and without vitamin A to suit everybody’s needs.
During the Second World War, Cod Liver Oil Liquid was produced by the Company for the Ministry of Food under a free distribution scheme, the Welfare Food programme. This was therefore the biggest sampling/endorsement support for any healthcare product in history.
Then, in the 1970s, studies among the Greenland Inuit and Japanese fishing populations led to the identification of the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids. As a rich natural source of this type of Omega-3, Cod Liver Oil suddenly moved to the cutting edge of nutritional science.
Recent clinical and epidemiological studies have established beyond doubt the importance of the Omega-3 fatty acids to life and to health. They have an essential role in every cell in the body, so their effects are far-reaching. Because Western diets have changed so dramatically in the past 50 years, anyone who doesn't eat significant amounts of oily fish can benefit from taking a Cod Liver Oil supplement.
