Lýsi is simply the Icelandic word for fish oil — and a spoonful of cod liver oil in the morning has been part of daily life in Iceland for generations. The Lýsi liquid cod liver oil in this collection is extracted from fresh cod livers and is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E — a welcome source of vitamin D through the long, dark northern winter.
Which cod liver oil should I choose?
Most people take the natural flavor, the way it has always been served in Icelandic homes. If the classic taste isn't for you, the lemon flavor is gentler and popular with children. We stock single bottles as well as larger packs of 12 and 24 for households that go through it steadily.
We're a small family-run shop in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, and we've kept Lýsi on our shelves since 2013 — the same bottles we take at home. If you're not sure which to pick, just ask us.
