Vitamins
Vitamins found in fish include riboflavin, B2 and vitamins A, C and D. Riboflavin helps the body metabolize amino acids, fatty acids and carbohydrates. Vitamin A is important for vision and helps eyes adjust between light and dark situations, such as going from a darker indoor setting to a brighter outdoor setting. Vitamin A also helps keep eye cells, skin cells and mucous membranes healthy. Vitamin C aids in the production of collagen, helps in the absorption of vitamins A and E and promotes a healthy immune system. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helps in the prevention of osteoporosis and promotes joint and bone health. Fish that are high in vitamin A include salmon–a single serving has 18 percent of recommended daily allowance, or RDA–and tuna–a single serving has 43 percent of RDA.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
In addition to vitamins, fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients offer a variety of health benefits. Heart-health benefits include a decrease in the incidence of heart disease, a reduction of blood pressure and help in the prevention of abnormal heart rhythms. Omega-3 fatty acids are also credited with helping to prevent arthritis and promoting healthy brain function. Fish that are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, tuna, trout, sardines, perch, cod and sea bass.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium aids in bone health and helps prevent osteoporosis. Phosphorus aids in cellular processes, helps in digestion and assists in the formation of bones and teeth. A single serving of rainbow trout has 11 percent of the RDA for calcium, and a single serving of perch has 7 percent of the RDA for calcium. Both halibut and salmon are good sources of phosphorus.
Iron and Zinc
Iron is a component of hemoglobin and helps transport oxygen in blood. Zinc aids in cellular processes, promotes a healthy immune system and supports growth and development. A single serving of salmon contains about 9 percent of the RDA for iron; a single serving of trout has 7 percent of the RDA for iron; and a single serving of cod has 5 percent of the RDA for iron. A single serving of flounder or sole contains 3 percent of the RDA for zinc.
Potassium and Magnesium
Potassium aids in muscle function and cardiovascular health and promotes general health. Magnesium aids in the absorption of calcium, aids in muscle function and promotes heart health. Halibut is an excellent source of magnesium, and a single serving contains 20 percent of the RDA for this mineral. Salmon, flounder, sardines, and cod are all good sources of potassium
CDC WRITES
The amount of iron absorbed from the diet depends on many factors:
Iron from meat, poultry, and fish (i.e., heme iron) is absorbed two to three times more efficiently than iron from plants (i.e., non-heme iron).
The amount of iron absorbed from plant foods (non-heme iron) depends on the other types of foods eaten at the same meal.
Foods containing heme iron (meat, poultry, and fish) enhance iron absorption from foods that contain non-heme iron (e.g., fortified cereals, some beans, and spinach).
Foods containing vitamin C (see Dietary Sources of vitamin C) also enhance non-heme iron absorption when eaten at the same meal.
yes,it is iron
Answer is vitamin a the oil also provide the same n proteins too if a normal fishes the most f cod lever oil is most famous 4 vit a
