Description

Vitamin rich cod liver oil formula:

• Supports the maintenance of cognitive function and healthy bones, teeth, eyesight and skin
• Supports healthy bone growth, and helps support the development of the brain and nerves in children up to 12 years of age
• Provides 932 mg of DHA and 754 mg of EPA per daily dose
• Also includes 5334 IU of vitamin A and 600 IU of vitamin D per daily dose
• Natural citrus flavour

Cod liver oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, and naturally contains high levels of vitamins A and D to help support healthy eyes, bones, and brain. Vitamin A is needed for the production of rhodopsin, a pigment found in rod cells that aids in low-light vision.1

Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for the proper development of retinal structure and visual acuity in infants as rods and cones in the eye require DHA for proper function.2

DHA is also essential to support pre- and postnatal brain development, as significant levels are present on neuronal synapses.2

Vitamin D helps to support bone growth in children and maintain bone health in adults. Recent research indicates that 600 IU of vitamin D per day helps maximize bone health in adolescents and adults.3

WHY CHOOSE GENESTRA FISH OILS:

Natural triglyceride form: NEO-3 and CRYO-3 processed fish oils contain NO ethyl esters (EPA and DHA bound to alcohol molecules) nor additional chemical processing.

Exclusive natural DHA/EPA enrichment process: enriches omega-3 yield, preserves triglyceride form, extracts toxic contaminants to virtually undetectable levels, delivers “cleaner” taste.

Independent batch testing: Surpasses international quality standards for: heavey metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium); pesticides, various chlorinated phenolic products (PCBs); dioxins and furans; PCDDs and PDCFs.

Freshness: Prevents oxidation, maintains stability at time of manufacture and throughout shelf life.

Great taste: Less oily, exceptional freshness, brimming with natural fruit flavours to ensure no fishy smell or aftertaste!

Building sustainability: Compliance with ethical fishing organizations and regulated fishery partners.
