cod liver oil

Fish oil is high in natural and non-toxic vitamin A, D as well as Essential Fatty Acids, Omega 3s. It’s great for all pregnancy and pre-conception and post birth — just make sure you get a high quality fish oil that is free of Mercury. Check the botte, but it should say “filtered” and tell you where the fish is from.

The great reasons to take fish oil are as follows:

1. The EFA’s are great for fertility — for women and men! Your body needs them because our hormones come from fats and cholesterol which gets made, utlimately into testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen — so EFA’s are the building blocks for fertility.

2. Studies show that Babies whose mother’s had Fish Oil while pregnant had bigger brain size and higher hand-eye coordination.

3. lower blood pressure in the offspring of mother’s who take Fish Oil.

4. the EFA essential fatty acids improve brain function and help stave off autism, dyslexia, and ADD.

5. Fish Oil can help with post par tum depression and it’s good for breastfeeding moms to keep giving your baby the Fish Oil (for brain function, motor skills, et.), so keep going even after you give birth!!

— so, grandma wasn’t crazy after all when she’d make you take a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil when you’d come to visit!
