Q: Can you tell me the benefits of taking cod liver oil as my grandmother has taken it for years?

A. Cod liver oil is a source of omega three essential oils also containing fat-soluble vitamins A and E. These nutrients are dietary necessities to promote good circulation, healthy skin, and have an anti-inflammatory effect on the joints. Supplements are beneficial to people who do not eat oily fish on a regular basis. Take only as recommended because fat-soluble vitamins can be toxic if taken in excess.
