Will mixing Efalex with very warm milk decrease its value

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am from Malaysia, mother of a 5 yr old son with verbal

dyspraxia. After reading the recommendation by Cherub, I want to put

him on Omega 3 & 6 supplements. But the only one available in Malaysia

is Efalex capsule. If I pierce the capsule & mix it with very warm

milk, will it spoil the nutriotional value? He wont take it any other

way. Fyi, in Malaysia, verbal dyspraxia is hardly known and there are

hardly any SLPs or doctors who specialise in this area. Thank you for

your advise.

There are others with more experience with Efalex than me since I

always used nordic naturals...however I have heard the efalex also

helps. You may want to consider also adding 400 IU vitamin E (alpha-d-

tocophorol). -

Hi

I would not be inclined to mix Efalex in very warm milk. I think the

heat would devalue the nutritional contents. Try getting him to

swallow it whole. Or try squeezing the contents into a spoon or

mixing it with a cold drink or at room temperature.

When I was asking the eye q representative about how ways to get the child to

take the fish oil, she recommended mixing the oil into food or drinks, for

instance smoothies, milk-based drinks, oatmeal, or fruit salad. Some like to

use applesauce or yogurt. She also said not to heat the oil, as it will destroy

the delicate structure of the fatty acids.

Whether mixing the oil into warm milk would be considered heating the oil, I

don't know.
