Should I use Nordic Naturals EPA or EPA xtra?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm starting my 24mth old little boy on the Nordic Naturals Pro-EFA, and

then in a month or so will start adding the EPA.

Should I use the EPA (45% EPA / 10% DHA, 64% Total Omega-3)

or the EPA xtra (58% EPA / 15% DHA, 84% Total Omega-3)The EPA xtra says highest

EPA concentration for maximum benefit.

Also, what should the dosage of the EPA be?

As per 's advice, I will be using 1/2 teaspoon of the EFA (equal to two

capsules).

Thanks for any help. I'm really looking forward to putting my boy on the oils,

and hope I see the same sort of benefit from it that many of you do.

For both the ProEFA and the ProEPA you want the regular not the xtra. I know

for many of us it's like if it's working -let's add more...but more isn't always

better as we know and as we found. In almost all cases you want the regular not

the Jr. either unless you are teaching your child how to swallow the capsules or

need a half dosage. Other than that it's twice as expensive for essentially a

cuter bottle.

Good for us anyway as the regular ProEPA is the one we found the most success

with and is cheaper too!

i started both of my boys 4.8 & 2.4yrs. on the nordic naturals children'sDHA

(strawberry) around being 2 and then around my older boy being 3 1/2 i changed

to the childrens omega 3-6-9(lemon) my older boy is the one with severe verbal

dyspraxia. his ST noticed a language burst around 2 weeks and it was soo

interesting because when our younger boy who is not apraxic turned 2 we started

him and noticed a burst around 2 weeks too!. not as significant as our apraxic

child but still very interesting
