Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi , I take O-Mega-Zen3 by NuTru. It has 300mg of DHA by marine algal oil. They have a vegetarian capsule form or a liquid form. My (typically developing) 5 year old also takes it. Jenna > > Hello. I can't get my son to take cod liver oil anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Jenna-Thanks for the response. I just ordered some Coromega to try and if it doesn't work I'm going to try something like what you take. Sorry for the late response, right after I posted the question my Lab pup bit my battery charger's cord and I had to order a new one. My battery died which made me panic with the thought of no computer!!! > > > > Hello. I can't get my son to take cod liver oil anymore.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'm a huge believer in algae and have many things that contain it that I use or consume...even naturals algae toothpaste (!) but like cod liver oil, algae is not the formula of EFAs that is found to " work " for our children for the majority for surges in speech etc. Unless I'm missing something and you are talking about CLO and algae just for health reasons? ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi , For me and my NT son, we use the algae because we are vegetarians and we are just taking it for good ol' health reasons! For my apraxic son, he gets the real deal (even though he is a vegetarian too). Unfortunatley, you would have to take a ton of algae supplements to even get close to the correct formula. We say a little prayer to the fish and tell them " thank you " every day he takes the fish oil supplements! Not to mention the capsules are made out of gelatin...aka: COW. That is why I chose to use the NN Omega 3- 6-9 liquid, instead of capsules. Hey, whatever I have to do to make me feel better :-) I am not sure why the " other " is wanting to use the algae.... -Jenna (mom to Larsyn and Chance) > > I'm a huge believer in algae and have many things that contain it that > I use or consume...even naturals algae toothpaste (!) but like > cod liver oil, algae is not the formula of EFAs that is found to > " work " for our children for the majority for surges in speech etc. > Unless I'm missing something and you are talking about CLO and algae > just for health reasons? > > ===== > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
