The liver is where cod naturally concentrate and store vitamins A and D alongside omega-3 fatty acids. This makes cod liver oil unique among marine oils: it provides preformed vitamin A (retinol), vitamin D3, EPA, and DHA in a single whole-food source. Standard fish oil provides EPA and DHA but contains no meaningful vitamin A or D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Vitamin A 1500mcg RAE (5000 IU) per softgel\u003c\/strong\u003e Preformed retinol from cod liver | Supports immune function, vision, skin integrity, and cellular differentiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Vitamin D 12.5mcg (500 IU) per softgel\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally occurring in cod liver oil | Supports calcium absorption, bone mineralization, and immune function\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEPA 49mg per softgel\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports cardiovascular health and a healthy inflammatory response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDHA 56mg per softgel\u003c\/strong\u003e Primary structural omega-3 in brain tissue (approximately 97%) and the retina (approximately 93%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally occurring nutrient complex\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamins A and D plus EPA and DHA in a single whole-food marine oil, not isolated synthetic nutrients\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNorth Atlantic source\u003c\/strong\u003e Gadus morhua from cold, clean North Atlantic waters with minimal environmental contaminants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiscine gelatin softgel\u003c\/strong\u003e Fish-derived gelatin shell with d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) to preserve freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHealth Canada licensed\u003c\/strong\u003e NPN 80136576\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e240 softgels\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to an 8 month supply at 1 softgel per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Cod Liver Oil Naturally Contains Vitamins A and D\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liver is the primary organ for fat-soluble vitamin storage in vertebrates. Atlantic cod accumulate vitamins A and D in their liver from their diet of smaller fish and marine organisms. This natural concentration makes cod liver oil one of the richest whole-food sources of both vitamins simultaneously. The vitamins are present in their natural, preformed state: retinol (vitamin A) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), both of which are directly bioavailable without requiring conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin A: Preformed Retinol from Cod Liver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCod liver oil provides preformed vitamin A as retinol, the directly bioavailable form. Plant-based beta-carotene must be converted to retinol by the body, a conversion that is inefficient and highly variable. Retinol from cod liver oil is used directly. Vitamin A is essential for rhodopsin synthesis in the retina (supporting night vision and low-light adaptation), maintenance of mucosal barrier integrity in the respiratory and digestive tracts (the body's first line of immune defence), and cellular differentiation and gene expression throughout the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin D: A Naturally Occurring Dietary Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is produced in the skin by UVB radiation from sunlight, but modern indoor lifestyles, northern latitudes, sunscreen use, and winter months all limit production. Few foods naturally contain meaningful vitamin D. Cod liver oil is one of the richest natural dietary sources, providing 12.5mcg (500 IU) per softgel. Vitamin D is essential for intestinal calcium absorption, bone mineralization, and both innate and adaptive immune function. Populations at highest risk of suboptimal vitamin D status include those living in northern climates, older adults, individuals with limited sun exposure, and those with darker skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamins A and D: Natural Synergy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamins A and D share overlapping roles in immune regulation and cellular differentiation, and their receptors (RAR and VDR) interact at the genomic level. Both are fat-soluble vitamins that work through nuclear receptor pathways to regulate gene expression. Their natural co-occurrence in cod liver oil reflects a whole-food nutrient relationship that has supported human health in northern populations for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEPA and DHA from Cod Liver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCod liver oil provides EPA (49mg) and DHA (56mg) per softgel in the natural triglyceride form. EPA supports cardiovascular health through eicosanoid modulation and a healthy inflammatory response. DHA is the primary structural fatty acid in neuronal cell membranes and the retina, supporting cognitive function and visual acuity. While the omega-3 content per softgel is lower than dedicated fish oil supplements, cod liver oil provides EPA and DHA alongside vitamins A and D in a single whole-food source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMedicinal Ingredients (per softgel)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCod Liver Oil (Gadus morhua, liver, North Atlantic) 700mg\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally providing:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVitamin A (retinol): \u003cstrong\u003e1500mcg RAE (5000 IU)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVitamin D (cholecalciferol): \u003cstrong\u003e12.5mcg (500 IU)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): \u003cstrong\u003e49mg\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDHA (docosahexaenoic acid): \u003cstrong\u003e56mg\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-medicinal ingredients: Piscine gelatin (softgel shell), glycerin, purified water, d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E, as antioxidant).
