Cod liver oil is a source of essential vitamins, especially vitamin D and vitamin A, as well as omega-3 fatty acids.

The oil derived from deep-sea fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon, and herring) is the richest source of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA). Four ounces of salmon can contain as much as 3600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil capsules have been particularly helpful in treating fibromyalgia, often providing immediate relief from pain. Fish oil is so effective that some physicians suggest it in place of Advil (ibuprofen) for pain from inflammation. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, fish oil can also be used to treat arthritis and colitis.
