Cod Liver Oil/Genuine Norwegian by Designs for Health.

Designs for Health's Genuine Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is derived from the livers of Genuine Norwegian Cod(Gadus morhua). It is the highest quality first-press oil from Norway, from one of the purest bodies of water in the world. The reason most cod liver oil sold in the United States is not called "Genuine" is because most CLOs on the market are not from cod. They are from a combo of all kinds of fish (some not even from Norway) with A and D added due to the cost of using oil exclusively from high quality livers of cod. Natural lemon essence has been added to produce a taste loved by children and adults, as well as a proprietary antioxidant blend in order to preserve the freshness of this health promoting oil. As different batches of cod are used for each pressing, the omega 3 levels and the vitamin A and D levels vary from batch to batch. Ranges seen on the label reflect actual levels of EPA and DHA from many tested batches of our cod liver oil. However, before the product is bottled, the amounts of vitamins A and D are standardized. Due to popular request, Designs for Health now controls the vitamins A and D amounts in every bottle to an ideal 5:1 ratio.
