Some will remember the taste of a spoonful of cod liver oil from their youth. Many children in the 1950s were given this oil, which is extracted from the livers of fish such as cod and halibut, to support their resistance and prevent English disease (bone deformity). However, when vitamin D was added to products such as margarine and low-fat margarine after the Margarine Decree of 1961, cod liver oil faded into the background and fish oil, which is rich in fish fatty acids, but does not contain vitamins A and D, became popular. Yet more and more doctors and health experts say that the cod liver oil of the past was not so bad after all. Cod liver oil has started to rise again! Fortunately, the taste is now not too bad. High-quality cod liver oil today is a colorless or pale yellow oil with a slightly fishy taste and odor. The use of cod liver oil dates back to the time of the Vikings (700-1100 AD), who already called it 'the gold of the ocean' and the cod liver oils of Dropi are still produced using this ancient and natural method of the Viking Druids. produced, making it the most authentic and unique cod liver oil available.

What is the Difference Between Cod Liver Oil and Regular Fish Oil?

The terms cod liver oil and fish oil are often used interchangeably, although there are clear differences. After all, cod liver oil is a fish oil, but not every fish oil is equal to cod liver oil! What exactly is this like? Regular fish oil is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA and is usually produced by pressing whole fish, after which the oil is extracted. This is then refined and sometimes vitamins are added. Cod liver oil, on the other hand, is only extracted from the livers of fish such as cod, haddock or dragonfish and is not refined. Cod liver oil is not only rich in the omega-3 fish fatty acids EPA and DHA, but also in vitamins A and D and nutrients such as phosphorus and iodine. In fact, cod liver oil is the richest and natural form of fish oil. In its purest form, it is a colorless or pale yellow oil that smells like fresh or smoked fish.
