Natures Aid Cod Liver Oil
This is now probably one of the biggest selling supplements in Europe. Our grandparents are fond of telling stories of taking their daily dose of Cod Liver Oil (CLO) to relieve such complaints as rheumatism, aching muscles and stiff joints. In the 1950s more research was carried out into the essential fatty acids Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaeonic Acid (DHA) contained in Cod Liver Oil and other oily fish.
This research has led to the modern view of Cod Liver Oil as not only beneficial in such conditions as rheumatism but also as a benefit to the heart and circulatory system.
