Omega 3's

[Guest guest]

...........But the healing powers of omega-3s don't stop there. Research

suggests they may reduce the risk of diabetes, reduce insulin resistance in

people with diabetes, enhance bone density and inhibit proliferation of

cancer cells in the breast, prostate and colon and improve skin condition by

curbing psoriasis.

Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and

Crohn's disease seem to improve with more omega-3s. In infants, it improves

cognition and visual acuity. And emerging research indicates omega-3s may

boost levels of the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine, decreasing

depression and violent behavior..........

I was just wondering if Omega 3-6-9 by Nordic naturals (Junior) will

work the same way as the Pro EFA ? I have been giving these to my dd

for the past 2m and seen some difference but would love to see

more!!! Please let me know ...Thanks in advance.

Its the same formula. How much are you giving? Try adding EPA (2 EFA

capsules + 1 EPA). If you see results, consider giving that twice a day

after 2 or 3 weeks. Not sure why everyone waited for months before adding

EPA? I think it was just the way it was done. But for those kids who

respond - if adding the EPA was going to get you to several work sentences,

wouldn't you want to add it sooner? Six months is a very long time to wait

for an otherwise benign intervention. If there is no progress, you are no

worse off. -claudia

Marisa, is correct in that it is the same formula as ProEFA -

except since you are using the " jr " version in (either the

professional or) the commercial line, then you are using a 1/2 dosage of

the regular. (and to put this in perspective the full capsule size

of ProEFA/369 is about equivalent to the dosage of EFAs approved by

the FDA for infant formula -so 1/2 the dosage of what a baby would

get to give you an idea of how conservative a dosage the 1/2 dosage

is!!) On the other hand if you are trying to teach your child to

swallow the capsules (vs. piercing them with a pin) or for whatever

reason you want the 1/2 dosage -the Jr. version is great. If not -

it's about twice as expensive (but you do get a way cuter bottle)

So to follow what most of us use as an increase -the 2 to 1 ratio of

ProEFA to ProEPA that mentions below -you would have to use

4 capsules of the Jr. (or 2 capsules of the regular/not jr. size)

to one capsule of the ProEPA.

Hope that didn't confuse more!

Marissa - the Nordic Naturals Omega 3 6 9 is exactly the same as the

Nordic Naturals ProEFA, but the Junior version of Omega 3 6 9 probably

contains a lower dose. Check the labels on Nordic Naturals website to

see the differences. You may have to give a higher dose of the Junior

formula to equal the regular formula that many of us use.

Just 1 junior tablet is 1/8 tsp - VERY little, and probably not going to do

much. So to get to the equivalent of 1/2 tsp you need 4 juniors. I give my

older son (dyslexic, ADHD before supplements, now evil twin is gone) , nearly 5

year old the juniors (4) plus one EPA. He gets this twice a day. My apraxic

nearly 3 year old gets the equivalent dose three time a day, but I use the

liquid because its easier for him to take. -
