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 thanks for watching so if you’re enjoying this content go ahead and share it with someone that could really benefit from it
