Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I know this has been covered recently, but I am still not sure what the consensus is on this. Should I be giving one or the other or both of these supps. to my kids? Currently I am only giving CLO. If fish oil is reccomended instead of, or in addition to CLO, any reccomendations on what fish oil to get? molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Molly, Both. Cod liver oil is an excellent source of vitamin A (and D). Fish oil provides Omega 3. We give our 3 year old son 1 tsp CLO and 1 tablespoon of fish oil per day. We use Nordic Natural Arctic Omega Liquid because it is chceked for mercury content. We also give 1 tsp of ProEFA which is a blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9. I'm not expert on this (just an amateur parent) so I'll emphasise that this is what suited Eddie. In fact we saw impressive improvements. The CLO helped with vision (reducing dilated pupils) and the fish oils (ie fatty acids) resolved his dry hands and dandruff. Our nutritionist said it takes about 12 weeks for fatty acids to have their effect and she was right - it was a gradual improvement over this time. BTW - The Nordic fish oil has a lemon flavour that is so good our son likes it in his pear pudding (pear puree + goat yoghurt).
