What makes Rosita Cod Liver Oil so unique?
What fatty acids are in your daily portion?
The approximately 1.1 g of oil from 3 softgels, broken down by fatty acids. Also naturally present: 378 µg Vitamin A (47% RI) and 3 µg Vitamin D (64% RI).
195 mgDHA
Omega-3 · Docosahexaenoic acid
The long-chain marine omega-3 fatty acid, which constitutes the largest omega-3 content in cod liver oil, is naturally present in the raw oil of cod liver.
143 mgEPA
Omega-3 · Eicosapentaenoic acid
The second major marine omega-3 fatty acid. EPA and DHA together contribute to normal heart function*; your daily serving provides a combined 338 mg.
79 mgMore Omega-3
incl. DPA
The rest of the natural omega-3 spectrum of cod liver, including DPA. This spectrum is mostly lost in refined oils; in the raw oil it is retained.
683 mgOther fatty acids
The golden oil itself
Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, just like those naturally found in the liver. The softgel contains the same raw oil as the bottle, only in a pre-portioned size.
Values per daily serving (3 softgels) according to the nutritional information; the proportions of "other omega-3" and "other fatty acids" are calculated from this. Natural variations may occur depending on the catch and batch. RI = recommended reference intake per day. * Approved health claim according to Regulation (EU) No. 432/2012; the effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.

Everything else you probably want to know:
How to use
How do I take the softgels?
Take 3 softgels daily, preferably in the morning with a meal and a glass of water. Beginners should start with 1 softgel and gradually increase the amount. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Do the softgels taste like fish?
No. As long as you swallow them with water and don't chew them, they're tasteless. That's exactly what they're for: all the nutrients of the raw oil, without the strong cod liver oil taste.
How do I store the softgels?
Store in a closed, cool, dark, and dry place, for example, in a kitchen cupboard. Do not freeze. Unlike the bottle, this makes the softgels convenient to use on the go.
Is cod liver oil suitable during pregnancy?
Cod liver oil is naturally rich in vitamin A. Rosita recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women take no more than one softgel per day and expressly consult a doctor beforehand. Keep an eye on your total vitamin A intake.
Product
What is extra virgin cod liver oil?
Raw oil from the fresh liver of wild cod, cold-extracted and unrefined, here portioned in fish gelatin softgels. Extra virgin means the same as with olive oil: first extraction, cold, without refining. The fat-soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, are naturally present.
What distinguishes Rosita from regular cod liver oil?
Conventional cod liver oil is extracted using steam and heat, then refined, bleached, and deodorized. In the process, natural accompanying substances are lost, and vitamins are often synthetically added afterward. Rosita takes the opposite approach: cold extraction, no refining, and nothing added except rosemary and natural vitamin E to protect against oxidation.
Softgels or bottle, which suits me best?
It's the same extra virgin, raw oil. The softgels are tasteless, don't require refrigeration on the go, and are precisely portioned, while the bottle is cheaper per serving and offers more flexible dosing. Many people combine both: a bottle at home, softgels when traveling. For liquid cod liver oil →
What is the capsule shell made of?
Made from fish gelatin, water, and glycerin. No bovine gelatin, no vegetable coatings, and no plasticizers. So the casing too stays within the marine, animal-based framework of the product.
What nutrients are contained in the oil?
Naturally containing vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids including EPA and DHA, with no synthetic additives. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, and EPA and DHA together contribute to normal heart function.*
* Approved health claims according to Regulation (EU) No. 432/2012. The effect of EPA and DHA is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg; 3 softgels provide a total of 338 mg.
Why do the nutritional values vary from batch to batch?
Because the oil comes from wild-caught fish and isn't standardized. The season, diet, and fishing location all affect the composition of the liver, and raw oil reflects this. Each batch is analyzed in a lab; you can find the typical values on the label.
Practical
Is cod liver oil suitable for keto and Carnivore?
Yes. Cod liver oil is a pure animal fat without carbohydrates and adds the fat-soluble vitamins A and D as well as marine omega-3 fatty acids to a carnivore or ketogenic diet.
How long does one jar last?
One jar contains 90 softgels. At 3 softgels per day, it lasts exactly 30 days.
Origin & Quality
Where does the cod come from?
From Norwegian waters, wild-caught and caught by small fishing boats using longlines. The catch adheres to Norwegian quotas to protect stocks. Processing takes place directly in Norway, by a small artisanal company.
How is the oil extracted?
Using the Rosita method: The fresh, hand-selected livers are first placed in ice-cold water, then gently warmed to below room temperature, allowing the liver to release its oil naturally. No heat, no chemicals, no mechanical pressure. Filtration is achieved solely by gravity, and the oil is bottled in dark glass under nitrogen.
Is the oil tested for pollutants?
Yes. Each batch is independently tested in a laboratory and meets the strict European standards for purity and content. For a raw, unrefined oil, this is the crucial proof of quality.
