What brand of ProEPA to buy?

[Guest guest]

I am a recent member and have been seeing a lot of posting regarding

Omega 3-6-9 (ProEPA). What brand does everyone use?

My son is 33 months old and has severe apraxia. Receptive language

and congition are age appropriate or even higher. He has 3 hours of

1:1 Speech therapy per week in addition to 20 hours of ABA, 1.5 hours

of PT and 1.0 hour of OT.

He can reproduce the " aaa " , " mmm " , and " www " sounds and that is about

the extent of his expressive language. He is a natural signer and

does inventive signing, gestures, points, nods yes and no and we used

PECS for about a year.

Thanks,

Hi Hetal and welcome!

Brand names do not matter -all that matter are formula, dosage and

quality of the oil. There are 3 brands that historically most find the

greatest success with -Efalex (used to be from Efamol but now from

Nutricia) Eye Q from Equazen and ProEFA from Nordic Naturals/NN links

to these are other companies here

http://www.cherab.org/information/dietaryeffects/efabasics.html

From NN there are 2 different line -professional which you can purchase

online or from healthcare professionals -not found in stores -or the

commercial line which you can purchase in stores (such as Whole Foods)

ProEFA (professional line) = Omega 369 (commercial line)

ProEPA (professional line) = EPA (commercial line)

The formula that works for most is to start with 1 or 2 of the ProEFA -

then instead of going to 3 capsules of ProEFA -once up to 2 capsules of

ProEFA -add one capsule of ProEPA. Some go up to three times a day of

that. Here's more on EFAs from CHERAB

Also did you read anything about the vitamin E yet? Here are links to

the new member archive which covers that as well.
