Nordic Naturals for Children and Kids

Does your children or child get the best source of vitamins and Omega-3 essential fatty acids from the foods that you serve them? Ours didn't until we discovered Nordic Naturals for children. The most powerful pharmaceutical grade supplement for children on the market today.

There are three nutritionally important omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), necessary for proper brain and nerve development in infants and children. Some direct sources of EPA and DHA include salmon, tuna, halibut, sardines, eggs, and grass-fed beef. You want to start thinking of DHA and EPA as the building blocks of your child’s body. They are fats that make up every cell membrane and are important for every aspect of your child’s functioning, from hormone regulation to healthy vision.

ALA can be found in foods like hemp seeds, walnuts, flax seeds, and some dark green leafy vegetables. The body converts ALA into EPA and DHA. Many experts think that the conversion of ALA into EPA and DHA can be affected with less than desired results if the enzymes required for this conversion do not function optimally. It is suggested that a direct source of the omega-3s, EPA and DHA, be consumed to meet the daily need either through food or supplements or a combination of both.

Did you know that fish is one of the most abundant sources of EFAs? But children don’t always eat enough fish on a regular basis. Even those who eat fish several times a week aren’t getting enough EFAs because much of the fish consumed today is farm raised and lack significant amounts of EPA and DHA.

What is pharmaceutical grade?

Pharmaceutical grade/standard relates to the purity of an oil. Nordic Naturals fish oils are tested, before and after production, for heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins. The results are documented showing the absence of these environmental toxins. Only a true pharmaceutical grade/standard product will pass these standards.

Nordic Naturals products test well below pharmaceutical grade/standard because they are solely based on the Norwegian Medicinal Standard, which is the only true pharmaceutical grade/standard to be revered.

Do essential fats speed the metabolism in a child? Our 7 year old son is overweight. We have a healthy lifestyle at home, and I want him to develop normally. Is there a supplement he should be getting?

Essential fats do not 'speed' metabolism, but they do support healthy metabolism. Essential fats are fats that are required for humans (hence 'essential' fats) and we must consume them through diet. It’s difficult to get good amounts of these fats in our foods, especially for children; pure fish oil is an excellent source. Consider supplementing with Nordic Naturals DHA Junior this will give your son the healthy fats he needs to support efficient metabolism, promote proper growth and development, and keep him healthy through physical activity, too. The capsules are small and lemon-flavored—he can chew or swallow them.
