"Fish oil" and "cod liver oil" are common nutritional health products and many people confuse these two, or even consider them as the same products. In fact, the effects of fish oil and cod liver oil are totally different. The main components of fish oil are DHA and EPA, which we introduced a few days ago. DHA is important for the development and maintenance of brain and nervous tissue; EPA can be used to treat autoimmune disorders and prevent cholesterol and fat from building up in artery walls.

Cod liver oil is a dietary supplement derived from the liver of cod fish (Gadidae). The main ingredients are retinol and cholecalciferol. Retinol is an important component of photosensitive substances in visual cells and can also maintain the integrity and health of epithelial tissue structure. Cholecalciferol promotes calcium absorption, as well as phosphorus reabsorption by renal tubules.

Making Sense of Nutritional Supplements and Natural Remedies

Supplementing your diet can be a great way to improve your overall health. Supplements like B12 can also help vegans live healthy lifestyles that are better for the planet. Taking an oral vitamin spray or drinking a nutritious smoothie is also cost- and time-efficient, as replacement meals usually take seconds to prepare and cost a fraction of the price of “real” food.

Unclear labeling can disguise unhealthy ingredients, and branded packaging makes it easy to fall foul of greenwashing. Making sense of nutritional supplements requires a healthy dose of skepticism and an eye for disingenuous marketing materials.

oh yeah, as someone who’s suffered from depression their whole life, i tried EVERYTHING before i went on meds. sadly, it didn’t do anything for me. i’ve not ready any studies on it tho, so i can’t tell you about a larger sample size either.

tht doesn’t, however, mean it doesn’t work. as there’s a glaring problem. here in North America, vitamins and supplements are not subjected to quality-control like there are on prescription drugs. there’s no one making sure the labels are accurate, makes those labels basically meaningless.
