EFA's for Children

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of a good essential fatty acid supplement for

children? Not in capsule form because he cannot chew capsules. I use

UDO's but he has a sensativity to sunflower oil-he's allergic to

ragweed which it's in the same family. He also will not take it if it

tastes like fish--he's not a fish eater. Thanks for any help-i'm at my

wits end and tired of buying stuff he won't take!

My 3 year old loves Carlson brand Gel capsule DHA. They taste like

orange and she actually asks me for them! They are a gel capsule so

they can be squeezed out and taken if needed. I have also heard a lot

of good about coromega. You can find out more about it at

www.coromega.com. You can get a free sample and see for yourself if

it works. It was recommended for my kids because it comes in little

packets and had a pudding like consistency and is supposed to taste

really good with no after taste.

Good Luck- Whitney

Have you tried Coromega? It's fish oil in an orange pudding sort of

flavor. Very tasty! I've also tried the chocolate orange one, but I

didn't like it that much. I think they have another flavor now, too,

but I haven't tried it.

 

In looking at their site to see if they list ingredients (they don't - you

might want to look at it in a store or ask them, but I don't see safflower

oil listed in the ones I have on hand), I see they also now have a version

specifically for kids:

You also can get a free sample at their original site, but I don't know

if you can get the kids' version or just the regular one. Probably be

worth asking them that, too, so you don't have to waste more

money.

 

Good luck! I used to have a picky kid who now is an adventurous

adult who will eat just about anything so hang in there.
