RE: EPA and EFA Question

[Guest guest]

I would start with switching from the DHA to EFA or omega 3/6/9, plus EPA.

This will be a better ration of EPA/DHA based on the apraxia experience.

So 2 capsules of omega 3/6/9 plus 1 EPA twice a day. All you would be

changing is the ratio of DHA/EPA, but not the grams of omega 3. But you may

notice some benefits. -

[ ] EPA and EFA Question

Hi,

I am new to this group and been sitting back and reading all the

incredible amount of information. I have two boys one who is 2 1/2 and one

is 4 1/2. Both of my boys have special needs. The 2 1/2 year old, Will has

been diagnosed with apraxia and SPD. He receives EI services 5 times a

week; 2 hours of speech, 1 hour of OT, 1 hour of CranioSacral Therapy, and 1

hour of HIPPO therapy plus listening therapy two times a day for 10 minutes

.. We have seen some incredible surges in his speech. In just six months,

he went from just saying mama to having a vocabulary of over 125 words,

putting two words together and starting to say three word combinations.

I have a question about EPA and EFA. I have been giving Will 3 capsules

of Nordic Naturals Children's DHA 2 times a day for 2 months. I want to

know if there is a better EPA that I should be giving him. Also, I want to

start the EFA. What brand should I use and How many? If I am giving 6

EPA's a day, should I be giving him 12 EFA's?

Thank you in advance for helping me with the dosages,

Dawn
