I started my 2 year old little girl on an Omega 3/Fish oil vitamin supplement by Nordic Naturals. How do I find out about
the mercury level in it and if its safe?
any one else use this supplement on their toddlers?
Looks like that is pharmaceutical grade.
I have not used this myself or for my child.
My understanding is that Nordic Naturals is made from fish that are considered to be mercury-free. We began giving our son the capsules when our son was 4 for digestive issues and it helped tremendously. It takes about 6 months for the omega 3 capsules to help heal the gut but it does work, in my opinion.
Opening the caspules and emptying the contents into some applesauce with a little bit a cinnamon was the best way for us to give our son the omega 3 capsules. Hope this helps.
Nordic is considered the best! I start my babies at 8 months on the liquid strawberry one
i give my 2yr old smartypants vitamins, specially formulated for kids. they are gummy vitamins have omega 3 and are pediatrician approved. they are amazing!! check out www.wearesmartypants.com
did u consult with her dr before doing this? that just seems like a bit much...why wouldnt you just let her get her vitamins by the food that you feed her???
You can also do flax seed oil.
That is omega 3 too.

Fish Oil Omega-3 oils, are marine based.
Flax seed oil, is plant based.
These are the sources, for Omega-3 oils.
The brand you have is good.
I used to buy nordic naturals but now I just get a liquid cod liver oil (lemon flavored) with a 10:1 ratio of vit. K to vit. D. I've been reading a lot about this recently, here: http://www.westonaprice.org/
I looked at the Nordic label and realized it had almost no D. I konw you take it for the oils, but I think the vitamin ratio is important as well.
Nordic Naturals is a leader in the industry. Don't worry.
