Found a great fish oil

[P_Mom]

Hi All,

I know it always helps to post when we have found a good product..I found a great fish oil and I am excited about it! I have been looking for one for a bit now...had to resort to poking holes in the Nordic Naturals to get the oil...then..my kids could only tolerate a little (taste)..so, they never got an adequate daily dose. For PANDAS, Fish Oil is highly suggested (or another good source of Omega 3's,(flax) )

 

I found Carlson for Kids the Very Finest Fish oil for kids on-line. I received it..it has NO fish taste, and I tried it straight! It taste like a mild lemon oil..the kids are clueless! It won awards...has high EPA compared to DHA (recommended), straight liquid so no capsules to mess with, and it is high quality with no contaminants (mercury, etc). It runs about 24 bucks a bottle, not too bad, but, definitely worth it! If you are looking for one for your kids...this comes highly recommended.

We have Carlsons in the house as well. I take it to make sure I have a working brain down the road. Pro-active. Seems as if we all take care of our kids well but we shouldn't forget to take care of ourselves.

I have also found an Omega 3 supp that works for my son called "EFA Focus." I received a sample from our DR but you can also order it on line. It comes in little packets, which are nice for travel, that you squeeze onto a spoon or right into the mouth. AFter trying many omegas that tasted nasty, this was a welcome change.

 

We tried various fish oils from Whole Foods, and my son refused to take them because of the taste. This one he gobbles down.

 

For us, I do think the Omegas are making a positive difference and have not caused any tics. We have been mostly tic free for some time now.
