Solutions Cod Liver Oil is made fresh, in-house (at Solutions), MSC Certified Wild-Caught Cod, & Certified Sustainable. Known Health Benefits Omega-3 Fatty Acids: FCLO is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are essential for brain health, cardiovascular function, and reducing inflammation. Vitamin A: FCLO is a good source of vitamin A, which supports vision, immune function, and healthy skin. Vitamin D: FCLO contains vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health, immune system support, and maintaining overall well-being. Because it is naturally occurring, it contains Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol – improves metabolism), and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol – slows metabolism). Having both types of Vitamin D allow the thyroid to choose which activity it needs to accommodate circumstances. Nutrient Synergy: Deficiencies in Vitamin A are linked to high calcium relative to potassium in the body. This deficiency can contribute to allergic symptoms (dry skin, flaky skin, blackheads), vision loss, night blindness, dry eye, impaired immunity, and poor wound healing. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with low tissue calcium and imbalances in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. This is why Vitamin D deficiency is linked to poor metabolic function, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, heart problems, decreased immunity, pH imbalances, etc. Potential Concerns: Blood Thinners: Dogs that are taking blood-thinning medications should consult a veterinarian before using FCLO, as omega-3 fatty acids may have a mild blood-thinning effect. Quality and Purity: It is important to ensure the quality and purity of FCLO products to avoid potential contaminants, such as heavy metals or pollutants. This is why we picked this brand… it’s the cleanest I know of. Allergies: In very rare cases, some dogs are allergic to fish. Of course, in that case this could cause issues. However, it is unlikely that this product would cause an issue because DNA (protein which the body can negative respond to) does not appear in oils or extracts. So there wouldn’t be anything for the body to respond to. Usage Guideliines Humans: Suggested Vitamin D intake is 2,000-10,000 IU/day for maintenance.
