GOURMET
NUTRIENTS
Eating fresh fish comes with several science-backed
benefits to maintain strong physical and mental health.
The lean Atlantic Cod is no exception.
Protein
Proteins are part of your body’s vital building blocks. They are made of essential and non-essential amino acids, which the body is unable to produce on its own. Luckily, cod is an excellent source of these all-important nutrients.
Omega 3
Omega 3 is good for blood circulation and is known to boost concentration levels and your general mood. One serving of cod (150g) is enough to meet the recommended daily intake.
Vitamin A
Cod is rich in vitamins, including Vitamin A, which strengthens the immune system and contributes to good eye health. It also promotes normal growth as well as skeletal, reproductive, and fatal development.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a natural nutrient in cod. B12 is essential to the body’s production of red blood cells, the formation of genetic material, and for proper function of the nervous system.
Selenium
There are many health benefits to a regular intake of selenium. The mineral acts as a powerful antioxidant, may reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease while boosting the immune system.
Iodine
Cod is a good source of iodine that helps ensure proper thyroid function. This is essential for the body’s ability to regulate the metabolism.
