Cod Liver Oil

For many generations among many different cultures, families have given their children Cod Liver Oil. Folklore tells us that this was because families observed how children raised with Cod Liver Oil grew healthier and smarter. Modern research now confirms this historical wisdom.*

How to grade your Cod Liver Oil:
Freshness- Delivery time from fishing boat to manufacturing plant.
Purity- Arctic Cod, sourced from the northern arctic seas surrounding the fiords of Norway.
Quality - Pressed only form pure Col Liver, no other fish or parts of fish used.

The first and only complete liquid nutritional program formulated specifically for infants & children, by Homeopathic Pediatrician Dr. Murray Clarke. Today?s children face unprecedented challenges from two very important areas. On one hand, the nutritional value of the food we eat decreases as the nutritional content of the soil is depleted through time and modern farming methods. On the other hand, the rapid increase in environmental pollution and toxic burden creates an increased need for these nutrients, the vitamins and minerals that protect, nourish and sustain a child's natural, healthy development. Eat right and support your child?s development with ChildLife formulas.
