Cod Liver Oil assists in maintaining a healthy immune system and help ease symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamins A and D are essential for growth, development and the maintenance of skin, tissue, bones, teeth and vision. It regulates bone turnover and growth hormones, and it helps in the absorption and use of calcium in the body. Cod Liver Oil provides excellent cardiovascular support.

Jamieson Cod Liver Oil contains Vitamins A and D that work synergistically to support reproduction, regulate bone turnover and growth hormones, maintain bone density, and support the immune system.

Cod liver oil naturally contains Vitamin D3. It also contains EPA and DHA, which facilitate smooth blood flow through the vessels. The EPA and DHA found in cod liver oil are purified to remove all traces of mercury and other micro-contaminants that are normally found in cold-water fish.
