Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Fish Oil Supplement for Pets
Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Fish Oil Supplement for Pets contains the health-promoting and anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA plus all-natural vitamins A & D from oil derived from 100% wild Arctic Cod exclusively from the Arctic Ocean. These nutrients are important for supporting healthy skin, coat, joints, brain, heart, and eye health, as well as an animal's energy level. While research indicates that a ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 of 5:1 to 10:1 is optimal for dogs, many pet foods contain primarily Omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oils. This results in a highly unbalanced ratio dominated by pro-inflammatory Omega-6.
Some pet diets may include Omega-3 fatty acids; however, virtually none include satisfactory amounts of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. In addition, any of these healthy fatty acids present are oxidized during the processing of the foods and/or eventually lose any healthy benefits during storage. *Oxidizing of any fats during high heat processing can also cause the creation of carcinogenic compounds. Product of Norway.
About Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Fish Oil
Nordic Naturals uses 100% wild Arctic Cod from the Arctic Ocean, between the Lofoten Islands outside of Bodø, Norway, and 100% wild anchovies and sardines from the Norwegian Sea and during their migration to the West Coast of South America.
The Arctic Ocean, Norwegian Sea, Southern Pacific Ocean, and waters above Eastern Antarctica are currently considered some of the purest oceans in the world, with virtually no overfishing taking place.
Is Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Fish Oil free of contaminants?
Nordic Naturals manufactures all their fish oil products in Norway, where they adhere to the highest manufacturing standards guaranteeing exceptional Purity and Freshness levels. The quality level of their oils exceeds both the Norwegian Medicinal and European Pharmacopoeia Standards.
