COD LIVER OIL IS THE NATURAL OMEGA-3-RICH PRODUCT YOU NEED IN YOUR DIET
Cod Liver Oil 1000mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in softgels, made from natural cod liver oil, which is naturally rich in a fat high in natural omega-3 (polyunsaturated) acids, making it an excellent source of essential nutrients for the Western diet.
Cod is a species of fish, generally small in size, that lives in cold northern seas where the water is clean and has a low content of biocomponents from the sea, which, together with the small size of the cod, means that the flesh and organs of the fish have a very low natural content of metals and contaminants, unlike larger blue fish.
THIS FOOD SUPPLEMENT PROVIDES A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF OMEGA-3 AND VITAMINS IN A NATURAL FORM.
A NATURAL SOURCE OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS, WITH ALL OPTIMAL QUALITY CONTROLS
Cod liver oil is naturally high in omega-3s
Cod, despite being an extremely lean white fish, has a liver that accumulates a large amount of fat in the form of oil rich in polyunsaturated acids, especially of the n-3 or omega-3 series (Eicosapentaenoic Acid or EPA and Docosahexaenoic Acid or DHA).
Cod liver oil was heavily exploited at the turn of the last century when it was given raw to children to enhance their development due to its nutritional richness, but unfortunately, cod liver oil has an intense and unpleasant taste.
HSN softgels are tasteless and provide all the goodness of the best cod liver oil.
It provides fat-soluble vitamins naturally present in its composition
In the cod liver, in its oil, there are vitamins that have a fat-soluble profile, that is, they are mixed in fat; these vitamins are excellent nutrients for general health, not to say they are essential.
The cod liver oil-based food supplement could be considered an excellent source not only of essential fatty acids but also of vitamins such as vitamin A (retinol) or vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
These vitamins are not industrially added to the supplement, they are natural. They are present in the natural cod liver oil that goes into the softgels you consume.
It is obtained through non-aggressive treatment of the raw material
The integrity of the oil from which the supplement is made is very important, as oils obtained through intense heating degrade and spoil, which can affect the omega-3s so much that they cause them to peroxidise and generate compounds with negative health effects.
At HSN we control the production process of cod liver oil to the utmost.
We obtain the oil by steaming the cod livers, which makes them 'sweat', and after a subsequent pressing, we 'mechanically' obtain their pure and intact oil, without degradation.
WE GUARANTEE THE BEST RAW MATERIALS IN HSN FOOD SUPPLEMENTS.
It is manufactured according to the highest quality and safety guarantees.
The entire manufacturing chain of the supplement is controlled.

Find out why we explicitly state the amounts of Omega-3 and why this is necessary while other companies only state the percentages.
In convenient, easy-to-swallow softgels. Soft glazing
Capsules, softgels, and tablets can sometimes be difficult to take because of their size.
Although Cod Liver Oil softgels have a considerable size due to their high concentration, you do not need to consume a large amount daily.
While other companies do not properly control the density of the oil they use and offer 500mg softgels that require you to take up to 6 a day, our softgels are 1000mg, optimised, and you only need to use 2 a day to reach the recommended dose.
Thanks to the extra smooth glazing agent treatment, you will not find it difficult to swallow the softgels, as they are easy and convenient to use.
COD LIVER OIL IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO GET ESSENTIAL VITAMINS AND OMEGA-3S INTO YOUR DIET
Cod liver oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins.
The long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that make up this family include EPA and DHA.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
DHA is docosahexaenoic acid with 6 double bonds (desaturations) in its carbon chain.
- Docosahexaenoic acid helps maintain normal brain function.1
- Docosahexaenoic acid contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.1
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
EPA is eicosapentaenoic acid with 5 double bonds (desaturations) in its carbon chain.
- Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids contribute to normal heart function.2
It also contains high amounts of vitamin A and vitamin D.
Vitamin A
It contributes to the maintenance of mucous membranes, skin, normal vision, and the normal functioning of the immune system.
Vitamin D
It is very important for bones, as it contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels and contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. This means that:
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
DO I NEED TO TAKE COD LIVER OIL? RECOMMENDED CASES
Since cod liver oil is of animal origin, it is not suitable for vegans, but it is ideal for people who, either because they do not like it or because they do not have the time to cook, keep their consumption of oily fish to less than 4 servings per week.
It is also very suitable for athletes who are subjected to high training loads at high intensity.
And if I am vegan, what options do I have?
If you are a vegan, the need for omega-3 increases, as vegetarianism is characterised by only providing enough ALA, which is not adequate in relation to the necessary daily intake of EPA and DHA.
We have a Vegan Omega-3 product from microalgae oil cultivated under optimal controlled conditions.
CAN I COMBINE IT WITH OTHER PRODUCTS? WHAT ARE HSN'S BEST RECOMMENDATIONS?
Cod liver oil is complementary to any other food supplement and can be used with many types of products.
Among the most common recommendations is the classic Omega-3 stack, which is to be used together with this product:
B-50 Complex + Creatine Monohydrate + Evowhey 2.0
