Answer:

Hello Paul: Not only you could give your children fish oil but you should... It is an Essential fatty acid that will make their nervous system to work in optimal conditions and they will not build the basis for future degenerative diseases.

A lot of the fat found in brain is in the cell membranes of the neurons and in the protective myelin sheath that covers them. The types and proportions of fats in the cell membranes determine how effectively the brain cells communicate. If an adult is deficient in the right fats, his brain does not function optimally, and if a child is deficient, the brain does not develop nor function optimally.

Imagine a child learning math. The act of learning makes the brain to form new neural connections. DHA is needed, especially for the delicate neural synapses which are composed entirely of DHA. This child, like the vast majority of U.S. children, eats almost no Omega-3 fatty acids. What does the brain do? Again, it struggles and finally uses other types of fats, which are the wrong shape: Trans Fats or omega 6.

Low levels of DHA have been associated with depression, memory loss, dementia, and visual problems. DHA is particularly important for fetuses and infants; the DHA content of the infant's brain triples during the first three months of life. Optimal levels of DHA are therefore crucial for pregnant and lactating mothers. Unfortunately, the average DHA content of breast milk in the United States is the lowest in the world, most likely because Americans eat comparatively little fish.

Low DHA levels have been linked to low brain serotonin levels which again are connected to a tendency to depression, suicide, and violence. This is how Omega 3 fatty acids and children īs behavior are understood.

You can give the 4 years old child one capsule per day and 2 capsules to the 10 years old. Nevertheless, it is easier for them to swallow the oil if it not in a capsule but in liquid form.

Additionally, try to accommodate their normal diet to what it is indicated in our page: Nourishment.

The best for you.

Do you know why Omega 3 with DHA is so good for you? Most people don’t - and as a result they do not enjoy the level of vibrant health that they should! Instead they suffer from avoidable ailments such as heart disease. Even worse, many people as they get older, gradually ‘lose’ their mind and live out their twilight years not even recognizing their friends or family.

Scientists throughout the world believe a great deal of the suffering caused from these diseases could be avoided by adequate intake of an essential Omega 3 fatty acid found in fish oil called DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) You may want to read this information.

If your child has memory or concentration problems, Neuro-Natural Memory is specifically formulated to concentrate on brain function and memory enhancement. It aims to improve concentration and to help reduce the potential for brain and memory function problems in later age, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
