Which alternative product to Omegor Mind is suitable for an 8 year old child?

Hello, I bought Omegor Mind for my 8-year-old son who has learning difficulties, but I can't get him to take the capsules because he refuses to swallow the softgel. Could you give me some advice on how to administer it or suggest an alternative product with similar characteristics? I am very sorry because I was convinced it was the right product for his needs. Thank you very much, Maria Rita




Dear Maria Rita,

You can try replacing Omegor Mind with VitaDHA in single-dose vials, a supplement rich in very high quality fish oil. The mild taste of this product makes it easy for children to ingest; just add it to yogurt, fruit juices, smoothies, or other cold drinks. 

Each vial contains pure and natural fish oil providing 1450 mg of DHA and 330 mg of EPA.
