cod liver oil
Omega-3 liquid source
Cod liver oil is oil extracted from the livers of Atlantic cod, taken as a dietary supplement.
Rich in vitamins A and D and omega-3 fatty acids, it was once a standard childhood remedy—dispensed by the spoonful despite its unpleasant taste.
My grandmother swore by cod liver oil for everything.
