Which omega-3 supplement do you recommend for school-age children?

Which omega-3 supplement for children is recommended for preschool and school-age years? Thank you.




The omega-3 supplement Omegor Kids is specifically formulated for preschool and school-age children. It contains plant-based omega-3 DHA from microalgae oil in honey syrup flavored with orange, along with Vitamin D3, useful for bone growth, and Vitamin C, beneficial for the immune system. 


The omega-3 fatty acid DHA is a fundamental component of the membranes of central nervous system cells and is important for maintaining normal brain functions and visual abilities. Vitamin D is necessary for the growth and development of children's bones, while Vitamin C helps energy metabolism. Vitamins C and D together support immune system function. 


The recommended dose of Omegor Kids is one sachet per day to be taken as is or mixed with plain or citrus-flavored yogurt. This way, the omega-3s are optimally absorbed and the taste will be pleasantly like honey yogurt. It is not necessary to take it on a full stomach, making Omegor Kids very practical as it can be taken anywhere and at any time of the day. 


Below is the full composition: 

- Honey 

- Oil with a high DHA content derived from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. (sunflower oil, sunflower lecithin, rosemary extract, tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate) 

- Concentrated orange juice 

- Water 

- Concentrated pear juice 

- Concentrated lemon juice 

- Vitamin C 

- Vitamin D3 

- Emulsifier: polysorbate 20 

- Preservative: potassium sorbate  


We recommend taking 2-3 month cycles of use followed by a 1-month break between cycles. The product is generally well tolerated and no side effects are known. I invite you to inform the pediatrician of the decision to start dietary supplementation with Omegor Kids and to inform him/her of any dietary changes you will make for your child. 


Best regards and I remain available for further information.
