REPORTERS, LAGOS | FEBRUARY 12, 2023
Expert Opinion From Toni Tran; Bachelor of Science – BS – Dietetics/Dietitian – Canada
Both cod liver oil and fish oil are sources of omega-3 fatty acids and have similar health benefits. Recent studies showed that omega=3 fatty acids might help reduce the risk of heart disease and protect against arthritis. Cod liver oil contains vitamins A and D, and it is a better choice for people who need more of these vitamins in their diet. Consumers should always check the label to get pure fish oil or cod liver oil since unwanted compounds and chemicals found in these oils can lead to adverse side effects.
Expert opinion from Drew Hemler; BSc. Dietetics · Canada
Cod liver oil has added vitamins A and D, whereas fish oil does not. Both offer a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for heart and brain health, as well helping in reducing general inflammation. Caution should be used if administering fish oils to children, those with fish allergies, those with heart and blood conditions, and pregnant women.
Expert opinion from Leticia Soares; Postgraduate Degree in Public and Family Health/Bachelor Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics – Brazil
Cod liver oil is a dietary supplement rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, which decrease blood clot formation and reduce inflammation in the body. The oil is also high in vitamin A, which is important for normal vision, the immune system, and reproduction. The main difference between the two types of oil is the presence of vitamin A in cod liver oil, making it the better option since fish oil is usually low in vitamin A.
