Cod Liver oil is a rich natural source of essential fatty acids and the fat soluble Vitamins A and D. Not all fats are bad, and there are an important group of fatty acids called Omega-3 that are considered to be helpful to the body. As part of a healthy diet it is important to try and reduce your intake of harmful saturated fats, which can lead to heart problems and cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids however, are poly-unsaturated fatty acids, which are being researched to help tackle heart disease and health of the circulatory system.
<p>
Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) can be helpful in maintaining a healthy heart and circulation.
<p>
Many Cod Liver Oil supplements do not provide all the daily requirements of Vitamin A or D. Not only does this formulation provide essential Omega-3 fatty acids, it has also been fortified to boost the natural content of these Vitamins to provide 100% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamins A & D.
<p>
Few foods naturally contain a rich source of Vitamin D, so exposure to sunlight is an important way for the body to make it’s own Vitamin D. Sunlight triggers the body into synthesising Vitamin D. Those who don’t get enough natural sunlight, such as office workers who work in offices without natural light, may choose to supplement their Vitamin D intake. Those in ethnic communities who prefer to wear enveloping clothing should ensure they are receiving sufficient Vitamin D in their diet. Sunscreens that have an SPF of 8 or greater block the UV rays that cause vitamin production, however sunscreen should be used if sun exposure is greater than 10 to 15 minutes.

Evening Primrose Oil is extracted from seeds of the plant Oenothera biennis. Whilst there is a large selection of Evening Primrose Oil supplements on the market, this product boasts a high level of the essential fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). By using a superior quality source plant, a GLA content as high as 12% is found. Fatty acids are very important molecules that are used to carry messages around the body and also to provide a source of fuel.
<p>
Although particularly known as a supplement chosen by women with PMS, Evening Primrose Oil can be beneficial in a number of other areas. GLA is known to be involved in the production of a number of short-lived hormones called Prostaglandins. These messengers are used by the body to regulate many functions such as controlling inflammation, blood-flow to internal organs and brain function. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins to reduce inflammation.
<p>
Users of this well-established traditional supplement find that it can help in maintaining joint mobility.
<p>
Many skincare creams and products also now contain either Gamma Linolenic Acid or Evening Primrose Oil.
<p>
Our formulation also has added Natural Vitamin E, which can help maintain the health of the skin and circulatory system.

Vitamin E is found naturally in plant seed oils, cereals, leafy greens, wholemeal bread and egg yolks. The natural form of Vitamin E is d-alpha Tocopherol, although there are several synthetic versions. Unlike some other supplements, we only use a pure form of Natural Vitamin E extracted from Soya. The Recommended Daily Amount of Vitamin E is based upon the natural form, as it is the most active. Natural Vitamin E is approximately twice as effective as synthetic Vitamin E (sometimes called dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acid Succinate).

Vitamin E is a Fat-Soluble Vitamin. It plays an important role in the body, alongside Vitamin C, by effectively “mopping up” potentially harmful free radicals which can damage healthy cell membranes. It also helps to maintain healthy skin, which is why it is sometimes found in suntan lotions and moisturisers. By taking a food supplement you are providing your body the opportunity to build a reserve of this vitamin to be used as required.
<p>
Skin damage such as sunburn places a substantial burden on the body’s natural resources for repair. It is therefore particularly important to ensure that the body’s nutritional requirements are met. Vitamin E also plays a role in helping to maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system as well as the health of the reproductive system. Eating a healthy diet which includes whole grain cereals, nuts, and poly-unsaturated oils can help maintain a healthy circulatory system and oxygen transport system.

This vitamin is popular with athletes because of its role in circulation, and the maintaining of healthy blood cells, nerves and muscles. Benefits which are not just for athletes!
