Green Pasture Fermented Cod Liver Oil Capsules- Orange is unique, because of the fermentation method used to extract the oil. By using fermentation to extract the cod liver oil, Green Pasture is able to maintain the nutritious vitamins in the oil as well as the states of the beneficial, delicate omega oils. Our Fermented Cod Liver Oil capsules contain our nutrient-rich Fermented Cod Liver Oil. They are more convenient for travel and some people find them easier to swallow. These capsules contain naturally occurring fat-soluble nutrients including vitamins A & D, and omega 3, 6, 7, & 9 fatty acids. Because they are all-natural, these nutrients are easier for our bodies to absorb and use. Why fermented cod liver oil? Cod Liver oil contains a healthy amount of the fat-soluble vitamins D and A, which are maintained throughout the fermentation process. There are zero synthetic vitamins added to the cod liver oil, because the fermentation process allows the oil to stay rich in natural, beneficial vitamins. The fermentation process also keeps the omega fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9) stable. The protein and carbohydrates in the cod liver oil go through a change of state during fermentation process, in which they are converted into bioavailable, beneficial components.

Note: Manufacture date vs. expiration date Green Pasture lists the manufacture date on their bottles, instead of the expiration date. The FDA allows manufactures to list either one. When listing the manufacture date, manufactures can get their product to the consumer shortly after it has been packaged. When listing the expiration date, manufactures must have further testing done on the product to test for stability, which may take anywhere between 6 and 12 months. Because Green Pasture lists the manufacture date, they are able to provide you with the freshest-possible product. Their cod liver oil does not have an expiration date, and is even said to get better with age.
