Omega 3 For Kids 500mg - NIS0515 |
 |
With so much about Omega 3 in the media telling us how important it is for our developing children to get enough of this very important nutrient which seems to echo the old saying that fish is good for the brain.
Natural Ingredients asked our formulation team to come up with the correct dosage for our children. We are not saying that by giving your children Omega 3 for Kids they will become top of the class, but it has been established in clinical trials that Omega 3 is necessary for healthy development of eyes and brain.
The research has been carried out on two groups of young children. In the first group children aged 6-12 years were given a combination of omega 3 fish oil and omega 6 evening primrose oil. After 3 months underperforming children showed a significant improvement in behaviour, including attention levels, hyperactivity and short-term memory. Over a six month period there were improvements, sometimes dramatic, in reading skills. The second group of 8-9 year olds already had a reading age 9 months above average. After 3 months they were 18 months above average. Although not done under strict research conditions, in Durham UK it was found that 16 year olds who took omega 3 in the year before sitting their GCSE exams scored higher than children who did not. These results, although suggesting omega 3 was of benefit, cannot be taken as conclusive, as there were no children taking a placebo in order to make a comparsion Omega 3 has shown in scientific trials that it may help improve concentration, mood, learning ability and co-ordination. There is on going research showing that Omega 3 may be able to help in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactiivity Disorder. With our children rushing off without eating a proper breakfast and then eating unhealthy lunches it is important that at least we are sure they are getting enough of this important nutrient. Natural Ingredients has taken the guess work out of the supplement by offering Omega 3 for Kids. 500mg of fish oil providing: Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) 77mg, Doncosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) 55mg, d Alpha Tocopherol 1mg (vit.E) 10% RDA, Glycerine EP, Gelatine EP. |
