What Does Children's DHA Do?
Nordic Naturals Children's DHA delivers a solid daily dose of triglyceride-form omega-3s tailored to support neurological and visual development in young children, though measurable cognitive boosts are most evident when baseline dietary fish intake is low.
Does my child need this if they regularly eat salmon or other fish?
How should I store this liquid fish oil once the bottle is opened?
Can this liquid be mixed into cold foods like yogurt or applesauce?

Overview
•Derived from purified Arctic cod liver oil and contains fish; strictly contraindicated in individuals with known fish allergies.
•The 530 mg total omega-3 dose (255 mg DHA, 170 mg EPA) is well within established safe upper paediatric nutritional ranges and exhibits an exceptional safety profile.
•Liquid cod liver oils naturally oxidise when exposed to light, heat, and air; keep refrigerated after opening and consume within 3 months to prevent lipid rancidity.
•Generally very well tolerated, though mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as loose stools, mild nausea, or fishy burps can occasionally occur if given on an empty stomach.
•High-dose omega-3 fatty acids exert mild antithrombotic effects; discuss with a paediatrician if the child has a bleeding disorder or is taking anticoagulant therapy.
