To Dr Stordy and other doctors re: EPA

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have a 3:8 year old daughter who has been taking Pro DHA by Nordic Naturals

for 7 weeks. It has 250mg of DHA & 100mg of EPA. She has developmental

dyspraxia. I was reading research has shown that EPA, not DHA, was more

effective in reducing the problems with attention, perception and other things

associated with dyspraxia (and dyslexia and ADHD). The article recommended 500mg

of EPA to start, then reduce to half or one third the amount after three months

depending on the individual. It didn't mention age appropriate doses, so I was

wondering if that dose would be alright for someone my daughter's age. Can one

get too much EPA? I have seen supplements with really high levels of EPA. I'd

appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!
