Cod liver oil has been used for hundreds of years as a tonic and supplement to healthy living. In 1766, hospitals in England were prescribing cod liver oil for rheumatism, and in the 1800s, it was commonly used to treat rickets, a bone condition arising from the lack of vitamin D.
Thanks to new processing techniques and delivery systems, we no longer have to put up with the awful flavor and foul odor and can still benefit from the nutrient-rich cod liver oil.
