I was giving my 2 yr old 2 pro EFA junior a day but we ran out so I picked

up the omega 369 junior at our local store. I want to give him te EPA also

but I'm a bit confused. Is there a EPA junior or should I give him the

EPA that is for adults? It says that the EPA is 850mg and the DHA is 200mg.

It just seems high to me. I don't understand why this fish oil stuff is

confusing me so much.

I tried NutriVeda with not much improvement but since I started fish oil,

therapy and NV all at pretty much the same time I backed off everything

except the therapy and there was a HUGE regression! 2 weeks off of NV and

fish oil my son did not say 1 word in the whole 2 weeks! His therapy sessions

were wasted, he did not even attempt a sound. I put him back on fish oil

6 days ago. His therapy was canceled because his therapist has the flu and

he is communicating constantly. Before taking him off of everything he

had about 9 words and had never put 2 words together. Friday he said " my

ball " clearly, Saturday he said " co-dop " when he brought me a cough drop

after hearing my cough. We were at a birthday party today and he ran through

the backyard chasing their cat saying " kitty kitty kitty " . It is clear that

the fish oil is helping.. alot! I will put him back on the NV in a few

more weeks and see what happens.

Meredith, Cale (my 2 year old) was about the same size as your daughter

when we started fish oils (and not much bigger now! ha!) and we started him at

2 EFA and 1 EPA, so it would be safe to bump up her dosage. We approved

this with all of our drs and talked to me about it as well :-)

Hope that helps!

My son will be 3 in November. Based on the recommendations I have read

here, I have been giving him 2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA (adult version) for a

month now. I was giving him 2 of the jr. 369 omegas- said it wasn't

enough. I increased his NV from one scoop to one and a half last week and

have noticed more attempts but still waiting for the BIG surge...been doing

this for about 2 months now...

I actually have a doctor appointment this afternoon and am bringing

everything I am giving him for review since I have increased both dosages

since my last appointment...

I have wondered about the importance of EPA as it is different from what is

in the Omega 369 and its dosage... curious how others respond.

ProEFA and Omega 369 are the exact same formula -one is sold as the professional

and one the commercial line of Nordic Naturals. The professional line is a bit

cheaper as you get 90 capsules of ProEFA for about what you pay for 60 capsules

of Omega 369 at the store (compare prices online for ProEFA here

http://www.speech411.com to say Whole Foods etc.)

You do NOT want to purchase either ProEFA Jr or Omega 369 Jr (again same

product) unless you are teaching your child how to swallow capsules or need an

exact half dosage and don't trust yourself that you can't squeeze out 1/2 a

capsule as it will cost you about twice as much money. There is no such thing

as a " jr " version of fish oil. Fish oil is fish oil is fish oil -it's just

marketed to you to give to your children and very wise on their behalf because

NN knows the average person is ignorant to fish oils and will pay twice as much

for a " children's " fish oil...

To put this in perspective for all once again (don't I have this archived?!!!)

One capsule of ProEFA is about equivalent to the dosage the FDA approved for

infant formula. So you giving your toddler a ProEFA Jr is like giving your

child a half dosage of what an infant would get per serving (!!!)

So what do you add to 2 regular ProEFA (don't call them adult capsules either -I

just explained why -normal sized capsules) One ProEPA...if you buy that at the

store it will be called...EPA.

Do not underestimate NV!!!!!! I am going over survey results and the surges on

fish oils do not at all compare to the surges on NV in almost all cases. The

problem with NV is that so many of us see such dramatic surges in a day to three

days that some here give up on NV if they see even mild surges -but these same

parents are as we just read here willing to pay hundreds to thousands of dollars

to see mild surges in other methods. NV will be validated and it's my opinion

that all should check it out with their child's pediatrician and it should

become as much a part of daily diet as fish oils or water or anything essential.

I suspect there will be a time and even in as soon as a year from what I'm

seeing that you will be able to even take your child off NV as I'm already

seeing that with Tanner. Currently I don't want to risk regression -however I

again suspect not so much due to all the little children's surges -but the 8 and

above year old's dramatic surges that there is actual neuro repair going on.

If your child had a diagnosis of apraxia or anything else and you put them on NV

and now they suspect your child was misdiagnosed and is blending into normal-

PLEASE email me lisa@...

These are some of the areas to look for surges in:

http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html

And if you have not taken the survey yet -please do!

http://pursuitofresearch.org/survey.html

We will validate both fish oils and now NV too- both are essential...not just

for speech and other skills...for good health -for life!

Hmmm...I don't know, my son bites the capsule and chews it up, then spits

the capsule out...he smells like lemon when he is done and asks for

more...can't taste too bad!?!

,

I know that you had suggested we up Cale's NV to one heaping scoop (he's 2

1/2, will be 3 in January) and we had talked about what you thought the max

should be for him (not that it would hurt him to have like 12 scoops a

day, but it would be silly)...anyway, I can't remember what you said would be

the max....hmmm?? I'm wondering if I should increase his dose? Thanks!

I originally brought the nutriiveda printout and the omega 369 jr. to my

doctor 2 months ago before starting them. He approved them. I was giving

2 of the jr's a day and one scoop of NV. I switched to the 1 ProEPA and 2

ProEFA a month ago and am now up to 1.5 scoops of NV (1 week now). I

brought it all to my dr. today to approve my new dosages. He said as

said, if they get too much, they will pee it out. He didn't see a problem

with me upping it to 2 scoops if I wanted. (I'll stick to 1.5 for now.) My

son will be three in 2 months and weighs 32 pounds.

The only " concern " my doctor had was that given all 3 above, my son was

getting 3x the recommended amounts of vitamin E. (Maybe that's why his

exzema has cleared up...) Just wondering if there are any concerns with

giving an almost 3 year old this much vitamin E?

Thanks,

Hi Malinda,

NV is 100 percent water soluble- and all nutrients including all the essential

amino acids and all the essential nutrients are from whole foods. Even the fat

soluble vitamins in it (from whole foods) due to being from whole foods and the

form it's in -powder form...nutriiveda is again 100 percent water soluble -I

confirmed that.

The fish oils I believe are 15 IU of vitamin e per capsule. So 3 caps would be

45 IU. Upper tolerable level for vitamin E for a 1 to 3 years old is 300 IU- so

45 IU is well within limits for even a 1 year old. Here's the chart (look for

upper tolerable level -that's the level you should not go above)

http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamine.asp

In addition -supplementation of fish oils will deplete your child's vitamin e

based on a study that was published in the early 2000s -so you want to be a bit

above the RDA based on that I would think anyway! If you want me to find that

study let me know -would have to search for it but I have it in archives too.

In the case of NV -it's again a 100 percent natural, 100 percent water soluble,

100 percent whole food product -which means the vitamin e you are getting is

from food which is the purest most easily digestible way of getting that

nutrient and all of them -and again even better -NV is 100 percent water soluble

-so you for sure will pee out what you don't need. It's like worrying about 240

mg being too much potassium when you give your child a banana...which people

don't do! I may cover some of whole food nutrition and what I like to call

whole food therapy now here http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html

Hope that helps!
