Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Oh ok...thanks i'm not to bright with the whole fish oil world =) From: <whitmore_dh@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Fish Oil ?? Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2008, 3:42 PM Bernice, You ARE actually giving him the EFA - ProEFA and Complete Omega 369 are the EXACT same thing, just packaged differently. If you are using the liquid, I believe that it has less ingredients per serving than the capsules. That being said, you could up it up to a whole teaspoon and then in a couiple of weeks, add the EPA/ProEPA (again, both are the came thing, just packaged differently) . Hope this helps...we noticed a surge both when we upped the EFA to 2 caps a day and then added the one cap of EPA. She has also started pursing her lips and tried to blow a cotton ball last night, which is a HUGE milestone for us! Greenwood > > ok so i've been giving my 3 yr old son omega 3-6-9 half a teaspoon for a little over two mths now i have seen a difference but I always would love some more =) What else should I add to it should i give him the EFA? or anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 No problem...that's why we are here! I am new too, but for some reason, it just clicked with me. What I can't understand is the mg/IU measurements for Vitamin E!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi , I just recently got this and i hope I'm right. d-alpha is measured in IU an the gamma is measure in mg. The ratio is considered 1:1 if the gamma is about half or a little more than half of the d-alpha IU. For example my vitamin e has 400IU d-alpha and 270 mg of gamma and on the front it says this is a 1:1 ratio, Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 You are correct in that the liquid is higher: 1 tsp Liquid ProEFA: EPA = 675MG DHA = 450mg GLA = 165mg 2 capsules ProEFA: EPA = 270mg DHA = 180mg GLA = 66mg I think that said something about giving 1/4 or 1/2 tsp of the liquid. Also remember that the liquid has a very short shelf life compared to the capsules. [ ] Re: Fish Oil ?? q about the Pro EFA liquid..I thought when i checked on it..you had ot lower the dosage cuz it was higher...any info?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 That could have been me...I think that I posted I thought that the liquid was less...that's why I looked into it to make sure. I was WRONG when I thought it was less! My brain fails more and more each day...maybe I should start taking the fish oil, too! HA HA!
