Cod Liver Oil

A Family Staple with a Long History

One of the things I love about cod liver oil is its long history. Way back before modern supplements, families relied on it as a daily ritual. In the 1700s and 1800s, cod liver oil became a trusted staple in Northern Europe, traditionally used to help sustain strength, resilience, and overall vitality for those under immune stress. By the mid-1800s, it was a standard recommendation for children in cities with little sunlight.

In the early 1900s, giving kids a spoonful of cod liver oil every day was a common household rule. Ask around, and you’ll still find grandparents who remember lining up in the kitchen for their daily spoonful—though not always fondly, because of the taste! Unfortunately, its popularity faded in the 1960s and 70s once foods were widely fortified, and advertising convinced people it was no longer needed. But the wisdom behind the practice never went away. Often the most powerful supports are the simplest ones.

That’s why I appreciate AzureWell Alaskan Cod Liver Oil today. It carries forward that same tradition of whole-food nutrition, in a form the body instantly recognizes.

More Than Just “Fish Oil”

Cod liver oil has been around for generations for a reason. It’s not just “fish oil” — it’s a whole-food source of vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3s that work together in a unique way.

I think about it at the cell cellular level:

• Omega-3 fatty acids become part of your cell membranes, keeping them flexible and responsive.

• Vitamins A and D act like conductors, supporting normal gene expression so cells can adapt and function.

• Omega-3s and Vitamin E help support the body’s natural defenses against oxidative stress.

Together, these nutrients support healthy communication inside the body, resilience to everyday stress and steady energy. It’s simple, foundational nutrition.

Why AzureWell’s Cod Liver Oil Stands Out

Not every cod liver oil is created equal. Some brands strip out nutrients during processing and then add synthetic vitamins back in, often at levels that don’t match nature. That practice defeats the purpose of whole-food nutrition in its natural ratios.

What sets AzureWell’s Alaskan Cod Liver Oil apart is its careful sourcing and minimal processing. It keeps the natural balance of vitamins and fatty acids intact—exactly the way the body recognizes and uses them. These qualities make it one I feel good about recommending.

How I Use Cod Liver Oil in Practice

In my daily work at Vital Pulse Center, I typically begin with the manufacturer’s recommended daily serving of AzureWell Alaskan Cod Liver Oil as a foundational part of a wellness routine. I don’t use it as a short-term “fix,” but as steady nourishment—just like many traditional cultures did. When the body is consistently supplied with these natural nutrients in their whole-food form, I often see overall adaptability, energy, joint and skin comfort, and stronger seasonal resilience supported.

Rather than using cod liver oil only when something feels off, I encourage people to think of it as daily nutritional upkeep—like hydration or sunshine. When it’s used consistently at the recommended amount, many notice subtle but meaningful improvements over time in how they feel day to day. In practice, this kind of quiet, foundational support often helps everything else in a wellness plan work more smoothly. It doesn’t force the body—it simply gives the body what it has relied on for generations.
