Many wonder “HOW do I get fish oils into a child?”

twins-757404_1280

The cheapest way to get fish oils into a child is to serve them fish oil.

There are some children that don’t mind, or even like the taste of fish oils believe it or not.  And there are numerous serving suggestions for regular fish oils.

But If Nothing Else Works

For those that have been there, done that, and I can’t get fish oils into my kid.  You have 2 options and one is Nordic Naturals Omega 3 Fishies, and the other is NNAlgae Omega- EPA and DHA from Algae.

Upside

The Nordic Naturals (NN) Omega 3 Fishies are great for extremely picky eaters because they taste and look like candy and unlike most other Omega 3 gummies on the market -they actually have a rich source of EPA and DHA!

In fact the dosage of EPA and DHA in the Nordic Naturals (NN) Omega 3 Fishies  is comparable to NN ProEFA 369, which has been used in the Cherab Foundation for close to 2 decades now.  NN ProEFA 369 had  positive dramatic results for children with autism and apraxia of speech in CHERAB’s professional anecdotal feedback study as mentioned as well in The Late Talker book.  Again the formula of EPA and DHA in the NN Omega-3 Fishies is about the same as one regular sized capsule of NNProEFA 369. One regular sized capsule of NNProEFA 369 is about the dosage the FDA approved for the dosage for infant formula.

Downside

NNOmega 3 Fishies are around 3 times the cost of NN ProEFA fish oil capsules.

There is no GLA in the NN Omega 3 Fishies -but one could always add a drop of primrose oil to their child’s diet!
