Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hi Everyone, We've been on cod liver oil for a long time... Would it be beneficial to add in EFAs as well? Can anyone tell me the difference? Any specific type of EFAs recommended? Thanks -- :-) --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 , Cod Liver Oil (Nordic Naturals) for my son brought eye contact and vocalization and increased his use of consonents. It has Omega 3, and bit of Omega 9 from Oleic acid. However based on still low EFA levels (ION Test) we added Pro-EFA (also by Nordic Naturals) which in addition has Omega 6. We kept the CLO because of naturally accuring Vit A and many of our kids are so deficient in EFAs that they can benefit from both eventhough for general population this maybe a bit much.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks! Actually Nordic Naturals CLO is what we use now. I heard about the ION test, I think that it is in our near future... haleh niazmand <halniaz@...> wrote: , Cod Liver Oil (Nordic Naturals) for my son brought eye contact and vocalization and increased his use of consonents.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 ION test includes the Amino Acid panel and then they send your child's result to Metabolic Maintenance which then you can order the custom Amino Acids from. Ion would also show your child's EFA levels and deficiencies. Best and I send your child my healing wishes and vibes. Haleh --- Meade <jenniferdmeade@...> wrote: > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Absolutely, it would be. Here are the essential fatty acid in two ProEFA softgels, which is what Ben gets every morning: Omega 3s EPA 270 mg DHA 180 mg Other Omega 3s 115 mg Total Omega 3s 565 mg Omega 6s 224 mg GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) 66 mg Omega 9s Oleic Acid 160 mg This is purified from deep sea fish from anchovies and sardines and third-party tested for mercury and organic pollutants. Here's what is in a tsp of Carlson's CLO, which is what I happen to have at the moment: Each tsp contains 1100 mg to 1250 mg Omega 3 fatty acids including DHA 500 mg to 590 mg EPA 340 mg to 500 mg ALA (alpha linolenic acid) 40 mg to 55 mg. Of course the CLO is from cod liver so it also contains Vitamin A and D which are not in the ProEFA. Both have small amounts of vitamin E added as a preservative. You will notice that the ratios of essential fatty acids are quite different. Peace, Kathy E.

Can anyone tell me the difference? CLO is Omega 3 plus vitamin A and D. If you want other Omegas, you can add a multi-EFA. I used flax oil, others have used other combinations.
