Hi ,

 

I wanted to ask you a question about Fish oil ----  Do you mean to say the have

a higher EPA than DHA is better??  I thought that DHA is for brain development

and where as EPA is usually for vision, skin and hard nails.  My developmental

Doctor suggested to have higher DHA vs. EPA.  She says 2:1 ratio in DHA vs.

EPA.  What do you think?

No problem putting it in milk but you want to make sure the cup is either glass

or disposable and not reusable plastic as the oil will bind to it. Think of

Tupperware and spaghetti sauce and how the plastic turns orange -the oil binds

to the plastic.

About the oil you are using however it's too high in DHA and not EPA with no GLA

-not the best formula. http://www.carlsonl abs.com/p- 226-carlson- for-kids-

chewable- dha.aspx

You would be much better off with something like Coromega if you did want a pure

Omega 3 for some reason because at least that has higher EPA to DHA. And

besides...there is no such thing as a dosage that is for kids. Fish oil is fish

oil- when our grandparents were little they used to get a tablespoon of cod

liver oil daily -that's probably like a zillion regular sized capsules (I am not

good at math so just saying zillion!)

thanks, this is helpful. just want to note that I stopped giving it to him

because he was throwing it up. I didn't keep torturing him! ;-)

 If a medicine dropper doesn't bother them fine -but if it does find other

methods to sneak it in. (and that's to the parent that just posted the child

vomits each time after giving him fish oil in a medicine dropper -poor little

thing!!)

Try some white grape juice....white grape juice (or wine for adults) cleans the

palate, so it will get rid of the taste ASAP. You could also mix it with the

juice, and it should mask it as well. Or just have 2 syringes, 1 with fish oil,

one with grape juice, and squirt together.

Was just looking for ideas for ways to put fish oils into foods where they

wouldn't know -and remember I saw this on Oprah -remember you don't want to cook

or add boiling water to fish oil (or nutriiveda) but may help inspire other

ideas!

Hi ,

 

I just wanted to confirm again for the correct " receipt " for our group fish oil

intake.  I have been giving to my daughter who is 3 years old --  2 ProEFA and

1 ProEPA for more than six months now and I do see a surge on her speech.  But

recently I went to the web page www.speech411.com to order ProEPA and read the

suggested intake is 2 capsules and 1 capsule for ProEFA daily!!!  Did I miss

understood the ratio 2:1 for 2 ProEFA : 1 ProEPA is incorrect??  The

ratio actually is 2 ProEPA : 1 ProEFA??  Did I give the wrong dosage for my

kid all these time!!  Please help!!

 

Thank you,

thank you SO MUCH about the head's up at http://www.speech411.com

There is the Nordic basic information up there mixed with some info from

Cherab. I will make sure that is corrected when I get home from my trip this

week. You are correct the recipe ratio I found to be best which the group

over the past decade has confirmed is 2 ProEFA to 1 ProEPA.

Any other questions let me know -I won't have lots of time to be online but

more than when I was in Chicago with Bill Farley.

Bottom line question....was the " recipe " of 2 ProEFA/1 ProEPA you were using

working?

Hello ,

 

Great to know that I did not make a mistake and yes I think the fish oil

definitely helps.  I also wanted to know when it the best time to increase the

fish oil dosage!  My baby is 3 years old and weights 30 lbs.  Do you think

it's OK for me to increase to 4 ProEFA vs. 2 ProEPA capsules soon??  I would

like to see if she can surge more with the increased dosage.  When did you

decided to increase Tanner's oil intake?  What age?  What weight?  Any guide

lines to follow??

 

Have a great weekend,
