In my opinion it is every parents duty to make sure their children have an ample supply of Omega-3 fatty acids. There are several reasons for this statement. Omega-3 fatty acids are the building blocks for your child's brain, nervous system and eyes. Your child needs an Omega-3 supplement to ensure a happy healthy life. Early studies have shown that the fatty acid DHA is essential for the normal development of your fetus and baby. Even some milk formulas for infants are now supplemented with DHA. They say that insufficient intake of Omega-3 fatty acids lead to premature births and also cause a low birth weight. It is also suggested that low intakes of these fatty acids leads to hyperactivity in young children. You need to make sure that an Omega-3 supplement you buy for your child, and for you as well, has been molecularly distilled to remove all of the impurities such as lead, mercury and PCBs and other heavy metals. Mercury in particular is dangerous to your child. It causes memory loss, low self esteem, it upsets your sleep routine, loss of self control. Just to name a few. This is why we do not suggest that you get your Omega-3s from eating fish. It is much safer to obtain them from purified molecularly distilled fish oil. Parents that want to give their child fish, can visit oceansalive.org for a list of the fish that you can eat and which fish to avoid. Do not try to get your Omega-3 supplementation from cod liver oil, as this can lead to an overdose of vitamin A, something that my parents did not know when I was a child. Some companies are now offering low dose Omega-3 fish oil for children. The average adult daily dose is two to four 1,000mg capsules per day, however children's doses are around 300mg per day. I hope that you have found this article on an Omega-3 supplement for children to be of some use to you. If your child has some difficulty in swallowing fish oil capsules, I have a remedy. A friend of mine cuts the capsules open and mixes the fish oil in yogurt. The children love it.
