Does cod liver oil actually oil the joints - and if so, how does it get there?

It has been known for quite some time that the reason cod liver oil relieves joint pain and helps maintain joint suppleness and flexibility is that it contains Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturates - the most powerful anti-inflammatory found in nature.

The Omega-3 are delivered to the site of the inflammation in the blood.
