The exact concentration of nutrients in cod liver oil depends on the species of cod, or gadus, that the oil comes from. Cod liver was first used in medicine in 1789, to treat rheumatism, followed by rickets in 1824. By the 1830s, it was frequently given to children to help prevent rickets and other conditions caused by vitamin D deficiency.
Other fish oils are extracted from the tissues of deep-sea cold-water fish , including tuna, trout, mackerel, herring, salmon and cod. Cod liver oil comes from cod liver only.
