Lactose, or milk sugar, is derived from whey and like whey, it is useful in assisting in the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus in the G.I. tract. Included in Nourishing Traditions baby formulas, lactose is an essential addition to cow's milk as mother's milk is richer in lactose than cow's milk.

Lactose is about 20% as sweet as sugar and is a great milk additive for children. It is an easily dissolving powder.

Servings per container: 113
Other Ingredients: 100% Lactose

Blue Ice fermented cod liver oil is produced using ancient traditional methods of extraction, yielding an extremely pure, high vitamin oil that has never been heated! No synthetic vitamins of any kind are added. You owe it to yourself to read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration as well as the official response from the WAPF on
 The Cod Liver Oil Debate.

Batch processed through a proprietary fermentation technique similar to that of making apple cider vinegar. Some will like taking their oil with a little water or milk. We love the taste right off the spoon! Also works great as an addition to salad dressings or directly to salads. Now available in a variety of flavors in liquid, capsule or in a new Kid Tested flavors. Makes the perfect complement to X-Factor Gold Butter Oil.

More and more people are discovering the value of supplementing their diet with high vitamin cod liver oil. This oil is a rich source of vitamins A and D, both of which are not easy to obtain optimal levels of in our modern diet and lifestyle. Increasing numbers of studies indicate that deficiency of vitamin D is incredibly common among Americans, and that the lack of this crucial nutrient may be related to a variety of health issues. Additionally, high vitamin cod liver oil is a good source of the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, otherwise known as the "Omega 3s." This oil is thick and rich, full of naturally occurring nutrients.

This oil is regularly independently tested in small batches to international purity standards, so you can rest easy knowing that even with the most minimal processing of any cod liver oil, there is no compromise on purity.

Many choices are available including a variety of flavors in liquids and capsules. Following is a brief description of each.

Product & Flavor Descriptions*

*Please note:The addition of natural flavors is meant to enhance the taste experience. However cod liver oil taste remains prevalent. We cannot accept returns based on flavor preferences.

Flavor & Antioxidant Free Liquid - Simply pure cod liver oil and nothing else! Flavor free is a bit of a misnomer in that if you enjoy the taste of fish you will appreciate its fresh fish flavor. Like most fermented products, it produces a bit of a tingle in the back of the throat.

Cinnamon Tingle Liquid - A favorite of many, the flavor has been improved with the use of organic cinnamon oil, organic stevia leaf, and a bit of cranberry seed oil as an antioxidant while the tingling sensation has been removed by the addition of an emulsifier (fermented hyaluronic acid).

Arctic Mint Liquid - With its natural mint flavor, many find this cod liver oil a refreshing alternative.

Oslo Orange Liquid - Includes organic orange oil, organic lemon oil, and a bit of cranberry seed oil as an antioxidant while the tingling sensation has been removed by the addition of an emulsifier (fermented hyaluronic acid).

Non-Gelatin Capsules - For those who prefer to take their cod liver oil in capsule form, this is simply fermented cod liver oil, a bit of cranberry seed oil as an antioxidant and unbleached beeswax as a thickener. Capsules are made from plant cellulose.

Non-Gelatin Capsules (Orange) - This is the same as our regular capsule with the addition of organic orange oil.



Ginger Liquid - Kid Tested! - Includes natural ginger essential oil, organic apple pectin, purified water, cellulose, trehalose, vegetable glycerin and a bit of non-GMO sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. Mix well before each use.

Licorice Liquid - Kid Tested! - Includes natural anise essential oil, organic apple pectin, organic whole leaf stevia, purified water, cellulose, trehalose, vegetable glycerin and a bit of non-GMO sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. Mix well before each use.

Peppermint Liquid - Kid Tested! - Includes natural peppermint essential oil, organic apple pectin, organic whole leaf stevia, purified water, cellulose, trehalose, vegetable glycerin and a bit of non-GMO sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. Mix well before each use.

Synergy of Butter Oil and Cod Liver Oil

Research shows that butter oil and cod liver oil, taken together, provide complementary factors leading to proper essential fatty acid balance. High-vitamin butter oil contains arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid, while cod liver oil is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3. Moreover, the saturated fatty acids in the butter oil promote efficient utilization of the unsaturated fatty acids in the cod liver oil. Finally, butter oil contains a broad and deep range of important quinones including Vitamin K, E and CoQ enzymes while cod liver oil is rich in Vitamin A and D.

Our High-Vitamin Butter Oil is extracted from dairy milk produced by Guernsey and Devon cows (high butterfat producers) that graze exclusively on irrigated grass in the northern Great Plains. This specific combination of climate and irrigation produces a rapidly growing specialized forage, ensuring optimal levels of Activator X as discovered by Dr. Price. Activator X and other nutrients are then further concentrated by putting the butterfat through a specialized low-temperature centrifuge process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does your cod liver oil have all natural vitamins A, D and E? Are there any synthetic vitamins?
A. The vitamins in our cod liver oil are all naturally occurring. It is uncommon in the industry but our sources are one of the few remaining that maintain these natural standards. There are no synthetic vitamins added. Read The Fourfold Path To Healing and learn about the benefits of cod liver oil.

Q. Can I get too much vitamin D?
A. If you take cod liver oil in recommended amounts and eat a normal diet and have no liver problems, you shouldn't get too much vitamin D.

Q. Should I stop taking cod liver oil in the summer?
A. You can consider cutting down on cod liver oil during the summer months if you get out in the sun with few clothes on and no sunscreen during the middle of the day on a daily basis for 20 minutes or more. In other times of year in the US, the UV-B rays are diminished so vitamin D production happens much less robustly.

Q. Will I like the taste of cod liver oil?
A. Many of our customers enjoy our unflavored cod liver oil right from the spoon. Many children even ask for it. Others prefer the flavors we offer or they will mix cod liver oil with a small amount of water, milk, or juice. Some like to add to salads, sauces or dressings. Alternatively, we offer cod liver oil in capsules.

Q. How does one dispense a 2 ml dose of the fermented cod liver oil?
A. Each bottle of fermented cod liver oil liquid comes with a calibrated syringe that fits into the bottle's plastic top. You are able to firmly insert the syringe into the top, invert the bottle and draw the desired dose into the syringe. Cod liver oil gels can be taken simply with a teaspoon.

Q. Is your fermented cod liver oil heated during processing? Are any solvents used?
A. No, our fermented cod liver oil is not heated. It is goes though a non-heated lacto-fermentation process.

Q. Is it pure?
A. Yes, it contains only cod liver oil. Natural flavors and a small amounts of natural antioxidant are added to some of the oils.

Q. Is it "high vitamin cod liver oil?"
A. Yes. This oil comes from a certain species of cod fished during the seasons when the nutrients are at optimal density resulting in a nutrient content that is 2-5x greater density than other brands while maintaining the recommended ratio of Vitamin A to D.

Q. Why would I select the Peppermint Kid Tested Cod Liver Oil over the Arctic Mint liquid? Why is the recommended serving size higher for the Kid Tested liquid compared to the regular liquid?
A. The Kid Tested Flavors includes a natural emulsifier making it easier to both ingest and digest for some people while offering a preferred flavor. The serving size is larger for the Kid Tested products as their content of soluble fiber requires slightly more product to get the equivalent nutrient density of 1/2 teaspoon of the regular liquid.

Q. How should the fermented cod liver oil be stored? What is its shelf life?
A. Unopened fermented CLO is stable if stored in a cool, dry place for up to 2 years. Once opened, it is recommended that the fermented clo be refrigerated. However, to prevent the liquid forms (Item #'s 4130 though 4133) from solidifying in the refrigerator, the product can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months after opening. Fermented clo in the form of capsules is stable after opening for up to 6 months without refrigeration (though the label states refrigeration is recommended).

The olive oil you buy may not be as wholesome or pure as you think. Even if it is certified organic, first-pressed olive oil, if your olive oil is clear, it has been filtered or it may not even be 100% olive oil. If it were the real thing it would be completely cloudy and you could not see through it. Bariani is a supremely high-quality olive oil: harvested and processed the way it was done for thousands of years. Virtually all olive oils are machine harvested, extracted with heat, and filtered, all of which remove important nutrients and antioxidants.

This first-pressed olive oil is hand-picked, milled with a stone wheel within 48 hours of harvesting, and pressed with a hydraulic press. Grown on a small family farm in the Central Valley of California by an extended Italian family that moved to the US in the 1990s, Bariani olive oil is pesticide-free and packaged in a dark glass bottle to protect from oxidation.

Bariani olive oil starts its life not in the bottle or after the olive pressing but at the root of their trees. The Bariani family gives particular care to the entire extraction process from the tending of the orchard to the bottling of the oil, opting for quality rather than quantity. Their process of extraction is true to the origins and art of olive oil making. They will continue this millenary tradition for you to enjoy at your table. Exquisite!

Bariani's extra virgin olive oil will differ in flavor and taste every year due to their traditional process of extraction. However, you will always find the same subtle characteristics that differentiate their olive oil from any other and that accommodate even the most discriminating palate.

A great complement to any food and a perfect choice at any special occasion.

Bariani Olive Oil is committed in producing an authentic extra virgin olive oil which is raw. Produced in a limited quantity, the olive oil is a registered organic product and with the particular and discriminatory taste of the family, the quality is always guaranteed.

Bariani Organic Olive Oil is Stone Crushed, Cold Pressed, Decanted and Unfiltered California Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Available in 16.9 fl oz/500mL and 33.8 fl oz/1L glass bottles.

For the perfect combination, consider complementing Bariani Oilve Oil with Bariani Balsamic Vinegar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is it heated?
A. No.

Q. How is it processed?
A. The olives are harvested in the late Fall and stone milled / hydraulic pressed within 48 hours. The oil is unfiltered and retains its rich flavor and cloudy appearance.

Q. What is the acidity level of your Olive Oil?
A. 0.2-0.3, which is far lower than the 0.8 needed for the extra virgin label.

Q. Is it organic?
A. Bariani olive oil is registered organic with the Department of Agriculture, State of California. All Bariani produce are grown organically.

Q. What does it taste like?
A. Bariani olive oil by itself has a potent flavor with a peppery finish. However, coupled with food, the potency and peppery finish melt away, leaving a lovely brilliant olive flavor.

Q. Should it be refrigerated? What is the shelf life?
A. It should NOT be refrigerated. If refrigerated, the olive oil will become extremely thick and impossible to pour. Stored on a shelf in a dark place, this oil will last over a year.

Q. What makes this unfiltered olive oil special?
A. Most olive oils are filtered, removing important nutrients and antioxidants. Most olive oils are machine harvested, extracted with heat and may not even be 100% olive oil! Bariani oil is particularly rich in polyphenols and vitamin E, responsible for its wonderful cloudiness. The presence of these antioxidants enable the oil to be stored for longer periods than other oils, and offer superior nutritional qualities as well.

Coconut Oil for Health!
Recommended in the Weston A. Price Foundation's 2012 Shopping Guide - Ranked in the BEST Category!

According to Dr. Mary Enig, coconut oil, rich in lauric acid, is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and antiviral. It supports good thyroid function, radiant skin, heart health, and even weight loss. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are converted in your body into quick energy, and are not stored as fat. Polynesians, who consume coconut oil regularly, have among the lowest rates of heart disease. You can learn more about the benefits of coconut oil in Eat Fat, Lose Fat , by Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon as well as in three excellent books by Dr. Bruce Fife: The Coconut Oil Miracle, Oil Pulling Therapy and Eat Fat, Look Thin.

The creme de la creme of coconut oils! Our coconut oil is produced in the Philippines and Thailand from fresh coconuts opened within 48 hours of being picked from the trees, and immediately processed into oil! The oil is extracted by centrifuge, without using any heat in the process, with no solvents, bleaches or deodorizers. This retains all the nutrients, including enzymes. This coconut oil is very creamy and smooth with a lovely coconut taste and aroma. It can be used in most cooking applications and will not overpower other flavors. Additionally, what sets this centrifuged oil apart from all other virgin coconut oils is its high lauric acid content. Lauric acid is the fatty acid consisting of 12 carbon atoms. Most coconut oils contain 46-49% lauric acid, although some coconut oils test out as low as 42%. Our special centrifuged oil, unlike all the others, contains a whopping 57% lauric acid! Also, please note that this coconut oil is higher in medium chain fatty acids than any other coconut oil we have seen (almost 75%), and it contains virtually no polyunsaturated fats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Isn't coconut oil mostly saturated fat, which is bad?
A. The saturated fat found in virgin coconut oil, lauric acid, is a Medium Chain Fatty Acid. It is easily broken down by the body and is converted to energy, not body fat. For more information as to why saturated fats are not the bad guys as we've been led to believe, read Eat Fat Lose Fat.

Q. When I received my coconut oil it was solid, but now it's liquid! Why?
A. Virgin coconut oil has a melting point of around 78-80 degrees F. It is perfectly normal for it to melt and it is fine for it to go back and forth between liquid and solid states.

Q. How is coconut oil different from coconut butter?
A. Coconut oil and coconut butter are basically synonymous. There are products on the market made by blending the coconut meat with the oil resulting in a different product known as coconut spread. Another product, coconut cream, is made by juicing raw coconut.

Q. Should I refrigerate it?
A. NO! Refrigerating coconut oil is not necessary for its stability. It can actually lead to mold growth in the oil due to the repeated condensation of moisture from the air into the jar.

Q. What does it taste like?
A. Some virgin coconut oils taste very strong - so strong that it overpowers the food you are cooking. Ours has a lovely mild coconut taste and aroma.

Q. Why should I take coconut oil?
A. Important nutrients like lauric acid have been reported to support the immune system, provide energy, support ideal weight and can have a positive effect on the thyroid.

Q. Is it true that coconut oil is great for sun protection? I have heard putting on coconut oil is the same as putting on sunscreen. if it's true then ..... can i wear my normal lotion then put on coconut oil on top for protection?
A. Many people do report that coconut oil provides some level of protection from the sun without introducing toxic chemicals like PABA found is the majority of sunscreens. Though the beneficial moisturizing effects of coconut oil on the skin are well documented, we would not recommend that coconut oil alone be used as sun protection but instead be combined with wearing a hat and other protective clothing. This is particularly important during the summer months and during peak daylight hours.

With that said, there are those who do rely solely on coconut oil and their skin is very healthy. According to Dr Bruce Fife from his book, The Coconut Oil Miracle...

"The Polynesians, who traditionally wear very little clothing, have for generations been exposed to the hot blistering sun, yet have beautiful healthy skin without blemishes and without cancer. The reason is they eat coconuts and use the oil on their bodies as a lotion. The oil is absorbed into the skin and into the cell structure of the connective tissues, limiting the damage excessive sun exposure can cause. Their skin remains undamaged even when exposed to long hours in the hot sun".

Q. What does the centrifuge process involve?
A. Coconuts are shelled, crushed and ground into a slurry. The slurry is sent through a large centrifuge which spins moisture out leaving the oil behind, with very little moisture.

Q.Why buy Coconut oil from Radiant Life when I can find it cheaper elsewhere?
A. Not all coconut oil is alike. Our oil is selected with you in mind... Certified organic - Made without introducing heat, solvents, deodorizers, bleach, and refining. Our coconut oil is cold pressed and centrifuged to eliminate water. Coconut oil with high water content has limited shelf life as moisture destroys coconut oil causing it to go rancid. The only reason coconut oil gets processed at all is to separate it from the meat and the water. All other methods of processing have negative consequences on the quality, taste and feel of the oil. Please note that if the coconut oil doesn't smell or taste like coconut, it's not a high quality oil and it's probably been refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD). Some products labeled as coconut oil are not even made from coconut oil but instead from copra which is a dried coconut by-product.

Q. What type of container will my coconut oil arrive in?
A. We prefer to supply our coconut oil in glass jars. This is practical for our pint and quart sizes. For our one and five gallon containers, a medical grade plastic is used. This is the only safe way it can ship. We have tested this plastic and it's extremely inert.

Q. Can coconut oil be heated?
A. While many enjoy it in an uncooked state, coconut oil can be cooked safely up to 400*F. Many also find that it acts as a great natural moisturizer for skin and hair, even being absorbed by the body on a nutrient level through the skin!

Acerola powder is derived from the acerola cherry, one of nature's highest sources of vitamin C. Originally from Central America, the Acerola fruit change their color during ripening from green to yellow, to dark red. A single acerola fruit, the size of a cherry, contains 28 times the vitamin C as a lemon! Acerola powder also contains numerous co-factors, including bioflavonoids and rutin, making it a full spectrum vitamin C that the body can optimally use.

Synergy of Butter Oil and Cod Liver Oil

Research shows that butter oil and cod liver oil, taken together, provide complementary factors leading to proper essential fatty acid balance. High-vitamin butter oil contains arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid, while cod liver oil is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3. Moreover, the saturated fatty acids in the butter oil promote efficient utilization of the unsaturated fatty acids in the cod liver oil. Finally, butter oil contains a broad and deep range of important quinones including Vitamin K, E and CoQ enzymes while cod liver oil is rich in Vitamin A and D.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is X-Factor Gold Butter Oil Raw? How is it different than butter?
A. Our butter oil is made using only 100% unpasteurized milk that has only been heated to 96 degrees F for bottling purposes. The cows are totally grassfed so the butter oil is very yellow. It is five times more nutrient-dense than butter.

Q. How should the product be stored?
A. The product has a shelf life of about 2 years. It should be stored in a cabinet away from light at room temperature prior to opening. Once opened, please refrigerate. To extend the shelf life, butter oil may be frozen.

Q. Do the cows eat growing green grass all year long?
A. The cows eat growing green grass from April through October. During the winter months, there is no green grass, so no oil is produced. During the summer months the grass is irrigated so it continues to grow quickly.

Q. Is the butter oil organic?
A. Our butter oil is better then organic! In order for a product to be certified organic, the cows must be fed organic soy and corn feed. Our cows are fed only grass while milking. No hormones or antibiotics are used.

Q. What does it taste like?
A. X-factor Gold Butter oil tastes very much like butter, especially when refrigerated. Please note however that as a truly natural product, its taste can vary slightly from batch to batch.

Q. What is the X-factor?
A. In 1945, Dr. Weston Price described "a new vitamin-like activator" that played an influential role in the utilization of minerals, protection from tooth decay, growth and development, reproduction, protection against heart disease and the function of the brain. Using a chemical test, he determined that this compound—which he called Activator X, was found in the butterfat, organs and fat of animals consuming rapidly growing green grass, and also in certain sea foods such as fish eggs. Dr. Price died before research by Russian scientists became known in the West. These scientists used the same chemical test to measure a compound similar to vitamin K known as Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is produced by animal tissues, including the mammary glands, from vitamin K1, which occurs in rapidly growing green plants. Dr. Price found the highest concentrations of this nutrient in "the milk of several species, varying with the nutrition of the animal" and found the combination of cod liver oil and high-Activator X butter to be superior to that of cod liver oil alone. In the many butter samples he tested, Activator X was only present when the animals were eating rapidly growing green grass. In most regions, this occurred in the spring and early fall. (per research done by Chris Masterjohn, Feb 2008)

Q. When should I take it?
A. Butter oil can be taken anytime - with or without food. For optimal results, it is recommended that butter oil be taken in tandem with high vitamin cod liver oil.

Q. I noticed that the product label indicates that butter oil is not a significant source of Vitamin A or D. Does butter oil contain any Vitamin A and D?
A. Yes, however the amounts are less than those contained within our cod liver oil.

Q. How is it different than raw butter?
A. If the raw butter is totally grass-fed, the main difference is that the butter oil is about five times more concentrated and has no proteins or whey left - just the most precious nutrients.

Q. Is your butter oil free of casein?
A. Yes, the butter oil is free of all proteins, including casein. It also free of lactose.

Q. How is it different than ghee?
A. If the ghee is totally grass-fed, the main difference is that the butter oil is not heated beyond 96 degrees F at any point in the production process, and ghee is extensively heated, which would result in the loss of nutrients and a change in fatty acid quality.
