Re: Dr. Jepson's fish oil brand

[Guest guest]

It is Pharmax pure fish oil. NOT Cod Liver Oil. It has 1050 EPA and

750 DHA per 1 tsp. for a total of 2250mg Omega 3.

They also have a product called Frutol which is 500 EPA and 375 DHA

per 2 tsp. for a total of 1200mg Omega 3.

You can all do the math - if I have to go the Frutol route, I

personally will double the dose to get the amounts that Dr. Jepson

wants. I have a 5 year old and a 6 year old who will be taking these

doses, FYI.

Both are supposed to taste good with the Frutol being the " most

delicious!! "

I googled Pharmax Fish Oil and several sites came up. The first one

was The Green Pharmacy and they appeared to have both products. I

will be ordering mine soon. We just received our compounded

vitamin/mineral mix and our compounded calcium/magnesium mix, so I'm

going to introduce those first before I change our fish oil.

Good luck ladies, I hope Pharmax tastes as good as advertised!

Do they use this brand CLO in kids who need it?

Yes. They don't want us on CLO as the compounded multi has A and D -

which is also in CLO. They don't want serum levels too high.

I also have A & D compounded. But, I use Kirkmans Calc/Mag liquid.

You may want to look into that for cost comparison.

Thanks for the suggestion - something about the Kirkman's causes

major diarrhea in all my kids...I've tried the suggested dose as

well as a much less dose, same result...and I've tried it numerous

times. YUK! I finally threw out the bottle as I couldn't gag it

down and they couldn't tolerate it. I hope this compounded one

doesn't do the same thing.

Do you have a fluoride issue? If the cal is pulling it out too fast

that could occur.
