Nordic Naturals Fish Oils for Kids - Ensuring A Healthy Lifestyle for Your Children

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are nutrients that are considered "essential" because they are required for optimal health but cannot be produced by the body, and must, therefore, be obtained from diet or supplementation. Research has shown that the two most important EFAs are the omega-3s EPA and DHA. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are crucial building blocks of child development, playing important roles in every aspect of health.

The vast majority of children are not getting enough EPA and DHA. A high quality, purified fish oil supplement is the healthiest, most reliable source of the EPA and DHA that children require for healthy physical and mental development. Nordic Naturals offers the following great tasting products to choose from: Baby's DHA, Omega 3 Gummies, Children's DHA and Omega 3-6-9 Junior.

Neurosurgeon Joseph Maroon, MD, recommends purified fish oil supplements for young children to ensure that children get at least 150 mg of DHA per day from birth until about age 5(*). Dr. Maroon estimates that the average child gets only one-fifth to one-third of that amount.

For specific health conditions and individual requirements, it's always best to check with your physician or health professional.
