Scientists today have confirmed what many people for generations have believed about Cod Liver Oil for alleviating joint and arthritic pains. Cod liver oil has been identified as an important source of the long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found uniquely in foods of marine origin. Scientists at Cardiff University (Wales, UK) have confirmed that cod liver oil, with its rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, is a proven natural remedy that helps relieve painful joints by reducing inflammation and helps slow down the progression of cartilage destruction.

Cod liver oil also contains vitamin D that aids bone resorption and formation; aids in prevention of rickets (aches, pains and bones enlargements at joints), and aids in prevention of osteomalacia (widespread joint pains and muscle weakness).
