Kids

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a key Omega-3 fatty acid that plays a key role in children’s brain development [1], especially their cognitive and behavioral performance [2]. If a child isn’t getting enough DHA through their diet, taking supplements can help support strong brain development. 

Supplementing DHA may help children improve their listening comprehension and vocabulary, as well as their attention. A study of children at 9 and 12 months of age receiving fish oil supplements showed an effect on their attention scores during a free-play test [2].

OmegaVia Kid’s Omega-3 Chewies are 100% sugar free. There’s less than 1g of total carbohydrates in each Chewie. Even without sugar, the Chewies pack a big flavor without that fishy taste found in many other Omega-3 supplements. Instead, OmegaVia Kids Chewies have a natural fruit flavor kids love. 

Compare these to other children’s Omega-3 supplements that often have a fishy flavor that makes kids not want them. Supplements won’t do your kiddos any good if they dislike the flavor so much that they won’t take them. There are also gummy supplements for children that are full of sugar, so take a close look at the supplement facts.

Children can begin taking kids’ Omega-3 supplements at 6 months old when you introduce complementary foods. While diet is the best way to make sure your kids get enough Omega-3, they may not be willing or able to eat enough of the foods that supply this key nutrient. That’s what Omega-3 supplements are for.

Consult with your doctor before giving Omega-3 supplements to your child, especially if they are under 3 years old.

Make sure your child receives the appropriate Omega-3 supplement dose for their age and size. OmegaVia Kid's Omega-3 Chewies have 400 mg total Omega-3 per Chewie. Children aged 3 to 6 should be given one Chewie (400 mg), while children aged 7 to 12 can take two Chewies (800 mg).

It’s normal for children to dislike the fishy flavor found in many fish oil Omega-3 supplements. Instead of trying to convince them to take those supplements anyway, consider switching to Omega-3 supplements with flavors kids enjoy, like OmegaVia Kid’s Omega-3 Chewies.

Some children’s gummy supplements are basically just candy with sugar and minimal nutrients. But OmegaVia Kid’s Omega-3 Chewies are different. Each piece contains 400 mg of total Omega-3s and no sugar. They also have a great taste kids love, thanks to their natural strawberry and citrus flavor.
