nordic naturals gummies

[Guest guest]

My son just turned 5. He's been taking Dr. Sears " strawberry treats. " (fish oil-

2/day). He loves them. They've repackaged them and the little I could read, I

think they added vitamins to it. If I do the NV, I need to have him on just pure

fish oil (no additional vitamins), correct? I take nordic naturals fish oil

myself. Does anyone give the nordic natural gummies (tangerine fish/strawberry

worms) to their kids? It says one/day, but the mg. of omega 3's doubles for the

fish. Just wondering what would be a good amount to give him. Thinking the

strawberry worms might be better since he liked the " strawberry treats. " Thanks

for any info.

Both the worms and the fishies that Nordic Naturals makes for kids are not the

dosages most of us have used, but for sure you could use 2 of them...and try

that without the GLA (primrose or borage seed oil) but it's going to cost way

more than the capsules for you.

The following for example is for the Fishies as the worms are even lower in mg

of Omegas EPA is 34 and DHA is 22 per worm.

One Fish Contains:

EPA: 68 mg

DHA: 45 mg

Other Omega-3s: 23 mg

Nordic Omega-3 Fishies

And because they both are around 30 dollars for around 30 fishies or worms- they

come out to around a dollar a fish or worm.

Compare that to 90 capsules of ProEFA for 20.35 online http://www.speech411.com

which contains

1 ProEFA capsule (American testing)

148 mg of EPA,

98 mg of DHA, 180 mg

36 mg. of GLA (from borage seed oil)

There's also coromega you can try that's got an orange flavor?

http://www.coromega.com/ so maybe more kid friendly?

But no -wouldn't use any fish oils mixed with vitamins now as the NV will

provide all the essentials

from food which is the best way!

Thanks for info. I ordered the ProEFA Jr. over the weekend, so we'll try it. The

ProEFA Jr. mentioned something about the new Jr. adding a little E to it. Is it

still at ok levels if used with NV? Also, would you start NV a little later than

the fish oils? How much later?

And is it ok to open the capsule and put it in oj? I take the nordic natural

liquids and put it in oj and really don't taste a difference.

Thanks for info. -marie
