fermented cod liver oil capsules

If you’ve been reading my blog for very long, you know that if there’s only one supplement you can afford, I always say that it should be fermented cod liver oil.  (Although it’s actually a food and not a supplement.)  The list of benefits is long, and I’ll talk more about that below, but first I’ll tell you what I love most about it personally.

Why I love the Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil

I know that the unseen health benefits are probably the most important, but here’s how I feel better when I take it, and it’s happened too many times to count…  Anytime I’m feeling a little stress in my life (hmmm, like maybe recently, when I’ve been getting the Real Food for Rookies class ready to launch!), I seem to carry it all in my chest, neck and shoulders and just have that agitated feeling inside.  It’s the feeling that I imagine is intensified in those who take anti-anxiety meds.  Whenever I feel this I’ll stop and wonder how long it’s been since I’ve taken my fermented cod liver oil…  Sure enough, it has always been a few days. I’m not good about being consistent with it, so then I’ll take a big dose and soon I’m feeling more level again.  Things roll off my back easier, I have a higher level of patience with the kids (comes in handy when it’s summertime and they like to nit-pick at each other), and I just don’t have that tense jittery feeling anymore.  From what I can find, apparently this works because the omega 3’s in cod liver oil help to reduce output of the stress hormones.  Interesting, huh?

Here’s what Dave from Green Pasture’s shared specifically about the fermented CLO when we spoke about it a while back…

Benefits of Fermented Cod Liver Oil

  • Fermented fish liver oils are extracted without heat but rather with a natural lacto-fermentation method.
  • We exclusively select organ tissue as the source of the fermented fish oils (compared to industrial model fish oils) as this is where the nutrients are located. There is much more to fish oil nutrients than EPA and DHA. It is only because of the heavy industrialization of this industry that this field of products has nothing else to discuss but Omega 3, EPA and DHA. These nutrients will occur naturally in all fish oils including the fermented clo/skate liver oil. I think the real story is in the thousands of micro nutrients that are provided in a Fermented fish oil.
  • Fermented liver oils are a deep rich pigment. Pigments are nutrients.
  • The oils have a 8-9mg/g total quinone count. Butter oil is in the 23-25 mg/g range. These figures are very high! The complex of the quinones is completely different between the fish liver oils and the butter oil. Even the quinone complex between the different fish oils is unique, variety is complete nutrition. Quinones consist of nutrients such as vitamin K’s, vitamin E’s, CoQ enzymes and other known and unknown nutrients and components.
  • Fish oils have historically been fermented for extraction; back in the Roman empire days, the Viking era and all the way up to the Mid 1850’s. Rendering was introduced during the mid 1850’s as a more efficient fish liver processing method. The livers yielded a much higher total oil volume and the process could be accomplished in several hours rather than several months. What they did not understand is the effects that heat had on the nutrients (their science was not ready to address this question) . As with all industrial models, the focus was on profitability, speed or turns and, marketability (taste).
  • Lacto-fermentation transforms natural vitamin A into different metabolites that are easily absorbed into our bodies (just as in your gut if your gut is working properly). I have found reference to at least 15 different natural forms of Vitamin A that nature provides. Not just the 2-3 that are commonly discussed.
  • There are over 3000 derivatives of vitamin D. Many are natural and others are produced in laboratories. Not much of the vitamin D topic is understood or discussed in main stream science. Current discussions are just scratching the surface of the topic. Reminder, vitamin D is more accurately categorized as a hormone not a vitamin.
  • Economical:  FCLO has substantially more nutrients (including A/D) per ml or teaspoon compared to other brands.
  • More about the importance of Fermented CLO from the Weston Price website. Read an excerpt:

    “Once a standard supplement in traditional European societies, cod liver oil provides fat-soluble vitamins A and D, which Dr. Price found present in the diet of primitives in amounts ten times higher than in modernized diets. Cod liver oil supplements are a must for women and their male partners, to be taken for several months before conception, and for women during pregnancy. Growing children will also benefit greatly from a small daily dose.

    Cod liver oil is also rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docasahexaenoic acid (DHA). The body makes these fatty acids from omega-3 linolenic acid. EPA is as an important link in the chain of fatty acids that ultimately results in prostaglandins, localized tissue hormones while DHA is very important for the proper function of the brain and nervous system. Those individuals who have consumed large amounts of polyunsaturated oils, especially partially hydrogenated oils, who are suffering from certain nutrient deficiencies, or who have impaired pancreatic function, such as diabetics, may not be able to produce EPA and DHA and will, therefore, lack important prostaglandins and necessary fats for the brain unless they consume oily fish or take a cod liver oil supplement.”

    WHAT YOU CAN WIN:

    GAPS Diet Online is giving away a 120 count bottle of Fermented Cod Liver Oil gelcaps, a $30 value, which is great for that person in your family who isn’t real happy about swallowing the oil!  (Half of our family take the capsules and the other three of us take the oil with no problem.  Yes, believe it or not, I am one of the tough ones – the cinnamon flavor is really not bad!  If you take the liquid, tell us what flavor you like best?)

    The Banana Nut Shake caught my eye, but then I scrolled lower and saw the Chicken Nuggets recipe! I’m intrigued, but I don’t have the home-made mayonnaise recipe. I’d love to try either recipe though!

    I will try the the spicy walnut cookies and the eggnog. Yum.

    17 Sonja August 24, 2010 at 4:59 am

    I would love to try the honey ginger lemonade: here in Madrid, Spain, in constant, sweaty 40 degree celcius heat, it seems like the perfect thing to cool me down. I don’t yet have a water filter and am considering buying one; not only for this recipe, but also because I have just begun fermenting veggies and lots of the recipes ask for filtered water.

    18 Sonja August 24, 2010 at 5:03 am

    I also retweeted, follow you on twitter, and am already signed up for your email updates! Thanks for this giveaway; I recently worked out that the British brand of cod liver oil that I take is heat-treated and not half as righteous as it ought to be, but have been debating over spending the money on the fermented stuff (paying for an MSc in Food Policy means less food in the house, ha!)

    19 Sheena Johnson August 24, 2010 at 5:13 am

    I want to try the Banana Nut Shake!!

    20 Valerie August 24, 2010 at 6:50 am

    Never mind, Kelly, I finally figured out how to stumble you, and have now stumbled this blog!

    28 Lisa August 24, 2010 at 7:53 am

    I went to the GAPS home page and looked at the recipes. The chicken nuggets one actually interests me because it looks like something I could make ahead and have on hand for a quick meal. I’m having trouble getting enough fat into my diet and eating too much protein instead. The mayo in this recipe would resolve that for at least one meal!

    Hope I win the CLO! :)

    29 Julie August 24, 2010 at 7:54 am

    I think the first recipe I’d try is the yogurt smoothie with banana and peanut butter. Then I would try the spinach-strawberry salad.
    I already get your email updates.
    I read your article about cod liver oil and you mentioned how your carry the feeling of stress in your neck and shoulders–I think I do the same thing. I also feel it in my jaw. I know I have been forgetting to take my clo lately. Thanks for the reminder.

    30 Lisa K. August 24, 2010 at 8:00 am

    35 JenZ August 24, 2010 at 8:26 am

    I would like to try the Honey Ginger Lemonade – sounds like just the thing to cool off when the temps are as hot as they have been! My dh follows a diet very similar to GAPS and I think he would enjoy that, but it sounds like the whole family could enjoy it with him :)

    50 Sarah August 24, 2010 at 9:22 am

    I’d make the spicy walnut cookies, sounds yummy!
    I wish I could get my fiance to follow this diet. He has ongoing digestive issues and I suspect his gut is damaged given the amount of (good, healthy, homemade) food he eats and how thin he is! But his symptoms are not so severe that he wants to drastically change the way he eats – someday, maybe.

    52 Jody August 24, 2010 at 9:25 am

    Actually, most of those recipes look great! I think we’d start with the banana nut smoothie. Peanut butter and banana is DS’s new favorite “flavor.” It might be a good way to get yogurt into some of my kids that won’t normally eat it. And, I’m on the lookout for easy before school breakfasts!

    53 Jody August 24, 2010 at 9:26 am

    I would try the yummy veggies and fruit, using the kale, because I’m always looking how to use kale. But I forget the real title of that recipe. :) The chicken nuggets looked good too.

    I’d like to try the chicken nuggets- that looks so easy, and I’m always trying to figure out what to do with my crock pot chicken besides chicken salad or chicken BBQ. Plus, I’m not a yogurt fan, and most of those recipes call for yogurt!

    The chicken nuggets recipe!! I sometimes get cravings for really bad fast food, even when I’m not in a rush (I know, sick!) so this will be great in those instances. I’m sure they can be prepared and frozen to be baked quickly later, too.
