21st Century Cod Liver Oil
All the benefits of Omega 3, but without that "yukky" taste!
This article was published by Healthspan.
Remember your childhood, when you used to get a spoonful of cod liver oil before going to school? - YUK! Granny said it was good for you, but didn´t it taste horrid? It’s taken fifty years, but now you can get all the omega 3 goodness of bottled cod liver oil without the ´yuk factor´.
The vital ingredients that help maintain brain health, healthy joints, circulation and heart function in cod liver oil are called the omega 3 fatty acids. They are acknowledged by every doctor to be vital to human health. If you want to obtain the maximum benefit from cod liver oil, then you need to consume higher amounts of omega 3. The solution is to take the oil from a bottle, but until today, that was unpalatable for most of us. Now there is St Clements.
The purest oil with a ´neutral taste´
To create Healthspan St Clements cod liver oil, we begin by buying just the purest from the unpolluted fisheries of Iceland. We refine it still further using our advanced ‘filter-pure’ technology. Our oil is then passed through a special deodorising process to ´neutralise´ its taste. This reduces both smell and taste so that unlike most other products on the market, there is no problem with ‘repeating’ after swallowing. However, even the purest ´neutralised´ cod liver oil still tastes slightly of fish when you swallow it. That´s why we created Healthspan St Clements.
The best oil in government tests!
But don´t just take our word for it. Last year, the UK Government’s Food Standards Agency collected samples of thirty-three different cod liver oil products in the country and tested them all for levels of dioxins and PCBs, the major impurities found in fresh fish. The reason they did this is that the seas of the world are polluted by industrial waste and fish can absorb some of these pollutants. In
its tests, Healthspan’s pure cod liver oil came out the best. Purer than eating a piece of fresh fish!
The taste of St Clements
To make their oil taste better, some of our competitors dilute it heavily with orange juice, which means that you get much less omega 3 per serving. Healthspan has added very small amounts of pure, cold-pressed Valencia orange oil and natural extract of lemons to create St Clements. So if you like oranges and lemons, you´ll love our new oil.
Sophisticated non-drip nozzle
Our sophisticated non-drip nozzle also spells the end of old-fashioned bottles that can lead to smelly, congealed oil dripping down the sides.
Omega 3 shopping tip
Omega 3 has two important components called EPA and DHA. The amounts provided should be written clearly on the label. If they aren´t, then you can be certain that the company you buy from has something ´fishy´ going on!
