Re: How much Fish Oil to give a 3 year boy?

[Guest guest]

Thank you for posting this question!

I am trying to decide if the liquid would be more cost effective for us. I

currently take 2

capsules which I want to up it to 4 capsules and my daughter (age 4) takes 3

EFA's and 1

EPA. However, the ratio is confusing me.

Thanks,

Lissa
