Omega 3 for children | The importance of omega 3 for children's development

Omega-3 is perhaps the most important supplement we can give our children. During the early years, the brain, nervous system, and immune system are constantly developing, and omega-3 is essential for the body to function normally. This is especially important for supporting children's health and development.

Why are omega 3 important for growing children?

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that is absolutely necessary for good health. The body is unable to produce these essential fatty acids itself and must therefore be consumed through the diet. Important sources of omega-3 are oily fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardines. It is not always easy for children to get enough of these oily fish to meet their omega-3 needs, and it is therefore essential to supplement for the child's growth and development. In the early years of children, the body, and especially the brain, is undergoing significant development. Omega-3 is particularly important for brain development, the nervous system and vision. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an important type of omega-3, is the most important fatty acid in both the nervous system, brain and eyes. The highest concentration of DHA in the body is actually found in the retina and plays an important role in healthy and good vision. Omega-3 also helps strengthen the immune system, which is important for children who are exposed to various infections in kindergarten and school environments.

Quality and sustainability at every step

At our company, the quality of our products is our highest priority. We ensure quality at every stage, from raw materials to finished product, at our modern factory in Finland. Our OMEGA3 Krill for children contains krill oil from Aker Biomarine, which sustainably harvests krill from the clean waters of Antarctica. Here, levels of heavy metals and pollutants are virtually non-existent. We use krill oil instead of regular fish oil for several reasons. Krill oil is highly bioavailable and up to 75% more effective than regular fish oil. This is because krill contains phospholipids that the body can easily absorb, while regular fish oil contains triglycerides that must first be converted, making absorption less efficient.

Taste and unity for children

When it comes to supplements for children, it's important that they actually like the taste. You may have experienced unpleasant fishy regurgitation after taking regular fish oil, but with krill oil you avoid this as it mixes well with stomach acid. Our OMEGA3 Krill for children tastes great and also contains important vitamins such as C, D, A and E. We do not use any preservatives or synthetic dyes, and the taste and color come naturally from fruit. Many parents have reported that their children love our Omega-3 Gummy Bears and ask for them every morning. This makes it easier for parents to ensure that their children are getting the necessary nutrients they need at a critical stage in their lives.
