Premier Quantum Norwegian Cod Liver Oil – Review

Each month I save my shillings for only one supplement for our family. We consume a lot of chicken/beef stock for our minerals, and fermented or cultured foods for our probiotics, enzymes and vitamins. However, in order to fully absorb the minerals we consume, we supplement with a high quality Cod Liver Oil which is high in Fat Soluable Vitamins A and D.

Why take Cod Liver Oil? Being rich in vitamins A and D which are very important catalysts, Cod liver Oil helps your body assimilate the minerals you consume. Many are unaware that consuming large amounts of calcium or other minerals will not assist your body at all if they are not truly absorbed with the help of fat soluble vitamins A and D. Pregnant and nursing mothers as well as young children especially need vitamins A and D for healthy development of bones, teeth and skin. Our bodies absorb animal based vit. A and D much better than any other source, it is impossible to get adequate amounts of A and D from vegetable sources or from the sun.

Not all Cod Liver oils are created equal, most leading brands use soy or other vegetable oil to dilute the liver oil. There are a few safe high quality brands such as Blue Ice High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil . With my budget I have found Premier Quantum Norwegian Cod Liver Oil to fit our needs very well. 

I have taken cod liver oil for a few years now, especially while pregnant with my daughter. She is now two and takes her daily 1/2 teaspoon with a smile. I notice a huge difference in her attention span, emotional control and demeanor and skin when we forget a few days worth of cod liver. While taking it, she sleeps better at night, she is much calmer and attentive during the day, less tears, and clearer skin and pigmentation. 

Quantum Cod Liver Oil contains no cheap oil fillers, binders or additives. No animal gelatin, capsules are 100% vegetable based. Also free of heavy metals. Vitamin E is the only added preservative. Each serving contains:1/2 teaspoon contains: 

Vitamin A: 6,250 IU

Our cod liver oil is also rich in the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA is essential for the production of prostaglandins, which are hormones that direct many important processes in the cells. DHA is vital for the healthy development and functioning of the nervous system and brain.
