A new study out of Norway shows that omega 3 from cod liver oil eases the symptoms of depression.
The latest study, reported in the Journal of Affective Disorders, took place in Norway and involved over 20,000 people. In brief, people who used cod liver oil daily (9%) reported fewer symptoms than those who didn’t take cod liver oil, and their depression risk diminished with the length of time they had been taking it. Moreover, people who had used cod liver oil for more than nine months had the lowest level of depressive symptoms—about 30% lower than people who had not used cod liver oil in the past year. This is report is the latest of several studies showing the postive effects of Omega 3 on depression.
