The Difference Between Fish Oil and Cod Liver Oil
Omega 3 Fish oil supplements are nutritional supplements containing oil derived from the fatty flesh of cold water fish such as Salmon, Mackerel, and Tuna. The key active ingredients in fish oil supplements responsible for the fantastic range of powerful health benefits are OMEGA 3 Fatty Acids – particularly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA eicosapentaenoic acid).
DHA is providing itself to be more beneficial than EPA. The main reason for taking fish oil supplements is to get DHA into your body. DHA and EPA are known as essential fatty acids because they are an essential dietary requirement for humans. Our bodies need them to perform vitally important functions, but are unable to manufacture them. Therefore, we must take them in from outside sources (food and/or dietary supplements).
Cod Liver Oil is collected from the livers of white fish, like cod and sometimes halibut, and contains Vitamin A and D. It has a different concentration of EPA and DHA than fish oil. Cod Liver Oil has a higher ratio of DHA to EPA, while fish oils have a higher ratio of EPA to DHA. Overall, fish oils have almost double the amount of total EPA and DHA than cod liver oil per same size supplement capsule.
