Cod Liver Oil 2.5kg is a natural supplement rich in essential nutrients for general well-being, particularly appreciated for its beneficial effects on skin, fur, bones and the immune system in both animals and humans. This oil is obtained by refining cod liver, thus ensuring a concentrated reserve of fat-soluble vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.
Regular use of this oil helps to improve the quality of the skin and hair, making them shinier and more resistant, as well as supporting the immune system thanks to the content of vitamins A and D, fundamental for growth, bone health and the prevention of certain pathologies. The daily dose can be easily integrated into your usual diet.
The oil is highly digestible and can be consumed by animals of different sizes and species, helping to maintain optimal levels of health and vitality, thanks also to the essential fatty acids that promote cardiovascular and brain function.
Therapeutic Indications
Cod liver oil is indicated as a food supplement to improve the general state of health in pets and also in humans, especially in periods of nutritional deficiency or increased vitamin requirements. It is particularly useful for supporting the immune system, protecting and repairing the skin, as well as promoting thick, shiny fur.
The presence of vitamin A plays a critical role in the prevention of eye disorders and in the regulation of cell growth, while vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thus contributing to bone and joint health. This makes cod liver oil a valid support in cases of osteoporosis, joint problems or rapid growth cycles, such as in puppies or elderly animals.
Furthermore, the content of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) helps to counteract inflammatory processes, improving cardiovascular function and supporting cognitive functions. It is therefore a valid natural supplement for animals with dry skin problems, rheumatism or fatigue. It can also be administered in combination with other veterinary therapies to enhance its effectiveness and improve the overall well-being of the animal.
Composition
Active ingredient: Pure cod liver oil in 2.5 kg pack with high concentration of vitamins A and D, as well as a profile rich in omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA.
The oil is free of chemical additives, preservatives or solvents, guaranteeing a high quality and purity product, obtained through extraction and refining processes that preserve the essential nutritional properties. It also contains vitamin E as a natural antioxidant that protects the oil from rancidity, keeping the product stable over time.
The composition also includes traces of other fat-soluble nutrients and natural minerals present in cod liver, which enrich its nutritional profile, making it a complete and balanced supplement suitable for daily nutritional support. Purity is regularly tested to avoid contamination by heavy metals or other harmful substances, ensuring safety of use.
Contraindications
Do not use cod liver oil in case of hypersensitivity or documented allergy to one or more of the natural components present in the product. Excessive or prolonged use without control could cause hypervitaminosis, especially in relation to vitamins A and D, with possible side effects such as nausea, vomiting, joint pain or kidney problems, therefore it is important to follow the recommended dosage.
It is not recommended to administer this supplement to subjects suffering from serious liver or kidney disease without veterinary or medical consultation, as the metabolism of some fat-soluble vitamins may be compromised. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is necessary to evaluate the use under professional supervision to avoid overdoses which could negatively affect the fetus or newborn.
Finally, caution is recommended when administering concomitantly with other vitamin supplements or medicines, to avoid possible interactions or excessive accumulations of fat-soluble vitamins which could be harmful to health. If in doubt, always consult an expert before starting the integration.
Safety of the drug for the species
Cod liver oil is generally safe and well tolerated by most common animal species, provided it is administered in recommended doses. The natural composition promotes good digestibility and assimilation, with low risks of side effects, making it a product suitable for daily use as a food supplement for dogs, cats and other species.
However, given that excessive intake of vitamins A and D can cause toxicity, it is important to monitor the total daily intake, especially in subjects treated with other supplements or drugs containing these vitamins. In case of signs of intoxication, such as persistent vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite or changes in movement, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.
The oil does not interfere with most standard pharmacological treatments, but it is always advisable to inform the vet in case of concomitant therapies. The product must be stored in a cool, dry environment, away from sources of heat and direct light, to keep its properties intact over time and guarantee safe administration to the target species.
Precautions
To ensure safe and effective use of cod liver oil, it is essential to respect the recommended doses for the species, size and specific conditions of the animal. Avoid exceeding the indicated daily quantity to prevent risks of hypervitaminosis or nutritional imbalances. In the presence of animals with particular clinical conditions, such as liver or kidney diseases, administration must take place only on veterinary indications.
It is important to store the product correctly, keeping it tightly closed and away from sources of heat or excessive humidity to preserve its quality. Also, keep out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion. If handling the product, it is recommended to wash your hands well and avoid prolonged direct contact with the skin to prevent any allergic reactions.
Do not administer the product to dogs or animals of wild origin or that are not adequately monitored without specialist advice. Careful and responsible use ensures that cod liver oil provides significant benefits without risk to the health of the animal or individual taking it.
Method of administration
Cod liver oil is administered orally, preferably mixed with usual food to facilitate its intake. The flexibility of the dosage allows you to adapt the product to all sizes and animal species, respecting the indications relating to weight and specific needs. It is advisable to start with low dosages to evaluate tolerance and gradually increase if necessary.
For pets, you can use a measuring syringe to administer the oil directly into the mouth or add it to wet or dry foods, making sure it is consumed completely. In humans it can be taken pure or diluted depending on preference, always respecting the daily dosage instructions.
Despite the good natural palatability, in case of resistance to intake it is recommended to mix the oil with a small quantity of particularly palatable food. Regular administration allows you to obtain the greatest benefits over time, so it is important to maintain a constant routine suited to the specific needs of each individual or animal.
Treatment program
Cod liver oil is effectively integrated as a daily support in periods of increased stress, growth, convalescence or nutritional deficiencies. The typical treatment program involves constant daily administrations for a period that can vary from a few weeks to several months, based on the pre-established nutritional and therapeutic objectives.
To support the health of the skin and fur, we recommend a minimum cycle of 30 days, which can be extended in case of particular needs such as seasonal changes or skin dysfunctions. In the presence of joint or immune pathologies, the treatment can be prolonged and associated with periodic veterinary checks to evaluate the effectiveness and adapt the dosage.
Preventive use during the cold months or in conditions of physical stress helps maintain general well-being, while in the case of diagnosed deficiencies or specific veterinary therapies, the program must be personalized according to professional indications. Regularity and consistency in intake represent the key factor to obtain optimal results and guarantee complete nutritional support.
Target species
Cod liver oil is indicated for a wide range of animal species, in particular dogs, cats and other small domestic mammals that benefit from an additional supply of vitamins and essential fatty acids. It is also used in humans as a natural food supplement.
The formulation and composition make it a versatile product and suitable for subjects of different ages and health conditions, from puppies to elderly animals, including animals with particular nutritional needs or those recovering from illnesses or operations. The ease of administration and safety of use make it a primary choice supplement for those looking for natural and effective support.
For each species, the dosage must be adapted based on weight, age and state of health, always considering that the product is complementary to a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Consultation with a veterinarian or nutritionist allows you to define the best supplement plan for each specific case, ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety.
