Fermented Cod Liver Oil: The Number One Supplement for Your Pet

By Ali Wetherbee

“My strongest advice is if you supplement with nothing else, you always supplement with fresh cod liver oil.“ -Dr. Ian Billinghurst, holistic vet and author of The BARF Diet

Most pets today do not get enough omega-3s. Commercial pet foods are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which causes an imbalance in the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. A high quality omega-3 supplement can correct this…

Why not all fish oil is created the same.

A while ago Stephen from 4 Hour Life posted Costco vs. The World Round 1: Fish Oil and the Search for the Ultimate Omega!. At the time I had not yet got my Feremented Cod Liver Oil so I could not comment on it directly but did link to this article about Why Feremented Cod Liver Oil. Since then I have started taking FCLO and High VItamin Butter Oil regularly. I had such a hard time getting it shipped to Canada that I setup FCLO Canada, one of the reasons I have not been blogging much. There is another important article about fish oil that Chris Kresser wrote a while ago When it comes to fish oil, more is not better. In that article he references a number of studies that show long term negative affects of concentrated fish oil. He states that

Omega-3 fatty acids are highly vulnerable to oxidative damage.

Lowering omega-6 (from industrial seed oils found everywhere in everything) is much more benificial

There are dangers with studies that isolate a single nutrient

I view FCLO as primarily a source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K2 and E) – not EPA and DHA.

In the context of a nutrient-dense diet that excludes industrial seed oils and refined sugar, and is adequate in vitamin B6, biotin, calcium, magnesium and arachidonic acid, the risk of oxidative damage that may occur with 1g/d of cod liver oils is outweighed by the benefits of the fat-soluble vitamins.

FCLO combined with High Vitamin Butter Oil also has added benefits as described by Chris Masterjohn in On the Trail of the Elusive X-Factor: A Sixty-Two-Year-Old Mystery Finally Solved.  In that article he states Dr. Price “found the combination of cod liver oil and high-Activator X butter to be superior to that of cod liver oil alone.” Tim also discuss using FCLO in the 4-Hour Body.  In the Tripling Testosteron chapter he recommends using it to boost testosterone levels.  I have searched around for any other scientific info on the mechanism here but couldn’t find anything, if you know of any please let me know.  Stephen at 4 Hour Life wrote about it here. So what makes Fermented CLO different from other Cod Liver Oil.  Take a look at these two articles (1,2) by Dave Wenzel, the owner of Green Pastures, where he explains how the conventional process to make fish oil strips a lot of the nutrients.
