Armorica Fermented Cod Liver Oil Capsules are produced in Wales through the carefully controlled cold lacto-fermentation of cod livers sourced exclusively from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Obtaining cod liver oil through fermentation eliminates the need for any heat treatment or chemicals, preserving all naturally occurring nutrients.
Thanks to Armorica 's unique low-temperature fermentation process, all naturally occurring nutrients are preserved in the oil. Armorica does not heat, chemically treat, or add synthetic vitamins to enhance the oil. Everything is completely natural.
Traditional cod liver oil
For thousands of years, cod liver oil was produced in northern European countries through fermentation. It was widely recognized for its exceptional health benefits. Cod liver oil production changed dramatically in the 1900s with the introduction of mass production machinery. There was a desire to produce a product quickly, cheaply, and in large quantities. This came at the expense of quality, and many nutrients were removed or damaged.
Armorica has replicated the traditional conditions for producing cod liver oil, with only a few minor modern improvements, such as fermentation in a completely oxygen-free environment , which prevents the oxidation of omega-3 fatty acids. The resulting cod liver oil combines the traditional with the modern, yielding a truly exceptional product.

Iodine content in fermented cod liver oil
Armorica fermented cod liver oil is not a targeted iodine product and is not advertised as a source of iodine. Previous analyses for iodine showed that, if present at all, it was only detectable in very small amounts; it was usually undetectable in the oil.
This is also plausible from a technological perspective: Iodine is water-soluble and binds poorly to fats and oils. Therefore, significant amounts of iodine are not to be expected in an oil product like fermented cod liver oil. Consequently, no iodine analyses have been carried out in recent years.
Why we like Armorica FCLO
By "liking," we don't mean "OMG, this is so delicious, I can't stop eating it!" We mean appreciating the health benefits and nutritional content. So many foods today are less nutritious than they were 30 or 100 years ago. Our soil is depleted, and animals and plants are "engineered" to grow faster. Fermented cod liver oil is nutrient-dense and therefore an excellent choice if you want to enrich your diet. We also appreciate that the oil is produced in Europe.
