THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FISH OIL(OMEGA 3) AND COD-LIVER OIL
Cod-liver oil is made from the livers of codfish. Omega-3 products are made from the oil of the meat of fatty fish. Cod liver oil contains a naturally high content of the fat-soluble vitamins A and D, which are stored in the body. Cod liver oil was regarded as a vitamin product until late 1970s, when Omega-3 fatty acids were discovered. Cod liver oil cannot be concentrated strongly the way fish oil can, making fish oil a much better source for concentrated, and pure omega-3s.
