Webber Naturals, Children's Omega-3, 120 Softgels

‍‍Children require the omega-3 fatty acids called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) for healthy physical and mental development. EPA and DHA can be made in the body from omega-3 bearing vegetable oils, or supplied in ocean fish oils. However, over the last 20 or so years social and family standards for childhood nutrition have permitted significant percents of daily calories to come from “foods” that do not support the robust in-body production of EPA and DHA needed for optimal physical and mental development.‍‍

‍‍Many children today suffer from health conditions related to EPA and DHA deficits. Examples include attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), aggressive/hostility behavior, and bronchial asthma. Also, adequacy in EPA and DHA facilitates the full potential of visual and cognitive development and reduces risk for childhood Type 2 diabetes. Supplementation with EPA and DHA over 3 to 12 months may improve the life quality of children with cystic fibrosis, and lessen the hyperactivity and stereotype seen in autism.‍‍
