Sea Pet Cod Liver Oil

Sea Pet only uses pure, medicinal grade North Atlantic cod liver oil. Natural cod liver oil is highly recommended by veterinarians for its high vitamin A (4,500 IUs) and vitamin D (450 IUs) content per teaspoon and for the Omega-3 essential fatty acids availability to your pets.

Vitamin A is essential for a healthy immune system. Vitamin A also helps maintain healthy mucous membranes in the eyes and ears. It is also essential for proper operation of the gastro-intestinal tract and urogenital tract.

Vitamin D is necessary for your pet to properly metabolize calcium for healthy bones.

Omega-3 fish oils are naturally in the form of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). These are necessary and essential fatty acids. As fish oil, these essential fatty acids are ready-to-be-utilized by your pet for optimum effectiveness. Omega-3 fatty acids also help to counter act the negative effects of the excessive Omega 6 fatty acids found in many diets. (Omega-6 fatty acids are also necessary but when the proportion is not correct, or too much lopsided, the Omega-6 fatty acids can have a negative and detrimental effect.)

No conversion is needed when using Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oils.

The Omega 3 oil from plant sources, such as flaxseed, is in the form of Alpha-linolenic Acid (LNA). LNA needs to be converted to EPA and DHA in order to be utilized by your pet. This conversion, however, is extremely inefficient -- 10 grams of LNA are required to convert to just one gram of EPA. Plant sources of Omega 3 are an extremely inefficient means for your pet to receive the essential fatty acids that they need.

Essential Fatty Acids, such as EPA & DHA, serve a number of major vital functions in the body. They are required for the transport and metabolism of both cholesterol and triglycerides. They are required for normal brain development and brain function. They are required in visual function (retina), brain and nerve function (synapses), and adrenal function. They are required in the structure of the membranes that surround each cell in our body. They stimulate metabolism, increase metabolic rate, increase oxygen uptake, and increase energy production. They slow down growth of cancer cells.

EPA (from fish oil) also converts to series 3 prostaglandins, which have many benefits. They regulate inflammatory responses (Skin and Joint). They regulate immune function, which can help in fighting disease more effectively. They regulate platelet stickiness. They regulate arterial muscle tone, which involves blood pressure regulation.

Sea Pet Omega-3 Fish Oils are pure, medicinal grade fish oils with 1,000 ppm (about 5 IUs) of natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) per teaspoon as a preservative.

For a higher concentration of natural vitamin E as an antioxidant try the
Sea Pet Omega 3 Fish Oil with Vitamin E, providing 200 IUs of natural vitamin E per teaspoon.

For an even higher concentration of natural vitamin E ask your veterinarian forSea Vet Omega-3 Fish Oil providing 400 IUs of natural vitamin E per teaspoon.

The lack of Omega 3 and the excessive amount of Omega 6 (up to 20 times the amount of Omega 3) in the modern diet ultimately create degenerative conditions. The store-bought processed foods still do not supply an adequate amount of Omega 3 to properly balance the ratio. (The ratio should be only 2 times the amount of Omega 6 to Omega 3.) And many nutritional supplements are still including the Omega 6 (LA) fatty acids -exacerbating an already severely imbalanced and unhealthy situation!! The best solution to insure our pet's health is to provide a high quality Omega 3 Fish oil supplement along with a premium food.
