Year-Round Reasons to Take Fermented Cod Liver Oil
At Green Pasture Products, we know that taking care of your health isn’t just for cold and flu season, it’s a year-round commitment. That’s where our Fermented Cod Liver Oil (FCLO) might fit in. Our Fermented Cod Liver Oil is not your average supplement, it’s a traditional, nutrient-rich food that’s been trusted for generations. It provides a rich, bioavailable source of Vitamin D, along with Vitamin A and Omega Fatty Acids (Omegas), nutrients that may support immune function, overall wellness, and more. In this blog, we’ll break down how these nutrients go to work for your body through every season, why it belongs in your daily routine, and provide you with the science to back it all up.
Winter: Immune & Mood Balance
With shorter days, colder weather, and limited sunlight, our schedules tend to shift indoors and our bodies often struggle to make enough vitamin D naturally. This combination of events can leave your immune system vulnerable.
These naturally occurring nutrients in FCLO may support your body in the Winter months:
- Vitamin D supports immune health, mood balance, and bone strength — all especially important during seasons with less sun exposure. [1][2]
- Vitamin A contributes to the health of mucosal tissues, which help protect the respiratory and digestive systems. [3]
- Omegas support a healthy inflammatory response and help promote emotional well-being throughout the season. [4][5]
Spring: Inflammation Care
Springtime is a transitional period. More time outside means more sunshine but it also brings exposure to seasonal pollen and allergens. Even though these substances are harmless to most people, the body reacts as if it’s under attack triggering inflammation, congestion, and fatigue.
These naturally occurring nutrients in FCLO may support your body in the Spring months:
- Vitamin D helps regulate the body’s immune response so that it doesn’t overreact to the presence of pollen and allergens as we breathe them in. [6]
- Vitamin A aids with strengthening mucosal barriers really comes in handy during this time of year too to fend off pollen and allergens. [3]
- Omegas can calm down inflammation in the body. This is especially important in your airways, which may reduce the severity of any allergy-related symptoms. [7]
Summer: Skin Protection
Sunshine is great for Vitamin D, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to ditch your Fermented Cod Liver Oil. Why? Because believe it or not, not everyone makes enough Vitamin D from sun exposure, especially those with darker skin, heavy sunscreen use, or primarily indoor lifestyles.
These naturally occurring nutrients in FCLO may support your body in the Summer months:
- Vitamin D in the skin helps protect against DNA damage, inflammation, and skin cancer caused by UV exposure. Since the skin produces Vitamin D in response to sunlight, it has built-in support to reduce the harmful effects of sun damage.[9]
- Vitamin A, a mighty antioxidant, fights off free radicals and other molecules that can damage skin cells. With lots of sun exposure, Vitamin A works overtime in your body to speed up the process of shedding old skin cells and replacing them with new ones. [8]
- Omegas have been shown to protect the body from UV related damage. [10]
Fall: Prepare Proactively
Fall marks another season of transition. Cooling temperatures, shortening days, and shifting routines. It’s a time when your body starts to adapt and prepare for the demands of Winter ahead. Taking a proactive approach to wellness now can help support you through this seasonal transition.
These naturally occurring nutrients in FCLO may support your body in the Fall months:
- Vitamin D enhances the pathogen-fighting effects of monocytes and macrophages (white blood cells that are important parts of your immune defense) and decreases inflammation. This is especially helpful in preparing the body for Winter. [11]
- Vitamin A supports the production and function of T-cells, which help your body respond to new seasonal threats like colds and flus. [12]
- Omegas help support brain health, memory, and emotional balance which is of major importance during the seasonal shift. [13]
