Storage

Dave Wetzel from Green Pastures says:

"Refrigerate or not to refrigerate, that is the question.
Fermented clo products: The oil is very stable.
In my opinion many can store OPENED jars either way.
If you use the fclo regularly (within a few months)
you can opt to leave in a cupboard after opening.
We do not overly process the oils so some lots
tend to become thicker as the storage temps get colder.
I have seen some really cold refrigerators make a fclo almost Gel."

 To convert %DV/RDA to IU's

To convert the RDA of vitamin A and vitamin D on the bottle to IU,
you need to know the standard established by the FDA.
Use these to calculate the IUs of any product.

100% DV/RDA for vitamin A is 5000 IU per day
100% DV/RDA for Vitamin D is 400 IU per day

Why does my oil taste different from previous bottles?

Dave Wetzel says: "The artesian process to make the FCLO provides a wide range of nutrients, colors, flavors, odors and textures. Most already understand the true benefit of FCLO and find ways to work with the variability in the products attributes. It is understood that nature changes the end product most notably by way of what the fish eats. We think we finally have the answer to the variability of odors in the different lots of FCLO. It looks to be the variability in an amine called Tyramine. This amine is most famous for causing the varability in different odors to strong cheeses."

From wikipedia: Tyramine (4-Hydroxyphenethylamine; para-Tyramine; Mydrial, Uteramin) is a naturally-occurringmonoamine compound and trace amine derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Tyramine occurs widely in plants and animals and is metabolized by the enzyme monoamine oxidase. In foods, it is often produced by the decarboxylation of tyrosine during fermentation or decay. Foods containing considerable amounts of tyramine include meats that are potentially spoiled or pickled, aged, smoked, fermented, or marinated (some fish, poultry, and beef); most pork (except cured ham); chocolate; alcoholic beverages; and fermented foods, such as most cheeses (except ricotta, cottage cheese, cream cheese, Neufchatel cheese), sour cream, yogurt, shrimp paste, soy sauce, soy bean condiments, teriyaki sauce, tofu, tempeh, miso soup, sauerkraut; broad (fava) beans, green bean pods, Italian flat (Romano) beans, Chinese (snow) pea pods, avocados, bananas, pineapple, eggplants, figs, red plums, raspberries, peanuts, Brazil nuts, coconuts, processed meat, yeast, and an array of cacti.

Fermented Cod Liver Oil (capsules)

The Blue Ice™ Fermented Cod Liver Oil takes us back in time, to when cod liver oil was truly a sacred food. The fish are wild caught in the Arctic region. Blue Ice™ Fermented Cod Liver Oil is lacto-fermented and extracted without heat. The oil is batch processed and independently tested to international purity standards.

The amount of each nutrient varies from batch to batch. Typical nutrients in this traditional food include:

  • Vitamin A (approx 35-37%DV per 2 caps)
  • Vitamin D (approx 90-107%DV per 2 caps)
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin K
  • EPA
  • DHA
  • Quinones

Ingredients: Fermented Cod Liver Oil, unbleached beeswax (thickener). Capsules: Plant cellulose

 

 

$75 for 237ml (118 serves)

 

Plain liquid


Oslo Orange


Cinnamon Tingle



Ginger (emulsified)

Fermented Cod Liver Oil (liquid)

The non-capsulated oils are suitable if you can't take capsules, want a more cost effective option, or feel you get more benefit from a liquid.

Most modern cod liver oils have been deodorised, so have a comparatively mild flavour. Green Pastures™ Fermented CLO is the real thing, and has a stronger taste. (The good news is you do get used to it.) Some people find that the lactic acid content makes the back of the throat tingle. It is helpful to have a mouthful of something fatty afterwards, like butter oil, butter, yoghurt or Reilly’s nut butter, to ease the tingle. (We have tested some ways of taking the oils, and will include a range of suggestions with your first order.)

2ml liquid gives:

  • Vitamin A (approx 70-75%DV)
  • Vitamin D (approx 190-215%DV)

Plain: Flavour & Anti-oxidant free. The most versatile flavour. Ideal for the person with food sensitivities who requires a completely additive free product.

Ingredients: Fermented cod liver oil

Oslo Orange: This has a mild orange flavour and slides down quite easily.

Ingredients: Fermented cod liver oil, orange and lemon oils

Cinnamon Tingle: This is proving very popular with people who like cinnamon.

Ingredients: Fermented cod liver oil, organic cinnamon oil and organic stevia leaf.

Ginger: This is emulsified to help reduce the tingle. It's one of the new "kid-friendly" flavours developed by Green Pastures. But not suitable for GAPS, at least in the early stages.

Ingredients: Fermented cod liver oil, vegetable glycerine, non-GMO sunflower lecithin, purified water, cellulose, trehalose, organic apple pectin, natural ginger essential oil.

Salty Cod: This flavour has been discontinued. If you're a Salty fan, we suggest you buy Plain and add your own sea salt. Try a tablespoon for the whole bottle the first time, then adjust to taste. Different sea salts will give different flavours, so you'll need to experiment to see what you like best.

X-Factor GOLD High Vitamin Butter Oil

Weston Price found that the benefits of cod liver oil were enhanced by using butter oil as well. This High-Vitamin Butter Oil is extracted from dairy milk produced by cows that graze exclusively on irrigated grass of the Northern Great Plains. The combination of climate and irrigation produces a rapidly growingspecialized forage ensuring optimal levels of Activator X.

Casein and lactose free!

The natural grain-free way with which the cows are cared for, combined with the unique extraction process ensures this oil is rich in:

  • CLA
  • Butyric acid
  • Stearic acid
  • Caproic acid
  • Caprylic/capric acid
  • Myristic acid
  • Lauric acid
  • Oleic acid
  • Palmitic acid
  • Wulzen Factor (the "anti-stiffness" factor)
  • Activator X
  • and Trace vitamins and minerals.
