Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I found this in the archives, hope it helps. ProEFA is a mixture of DHA (omega 3) GLA (omega 6) and EPA, and is the formula that will be used in upcoming research as a result of successful anecdotal case reports from professionals discussed at CHERAB's first conference for apraxic children, and presented at Oxford. It does get confusing because there are other products out there that are called ProEFA, but the only ProEFA referred to in the scientific reports by CHERAB is the ProEFA from Nordic Naturals. ProEFA is from the Professional line, and Ultimate Omega Complete Omega is Nordic Natural's commercial version of their ProEFA. Both the professional and the commercial line from Nordic Naturals are third person tested for purity. ProEFA and Complete Omega and are the same product, the only difference is who they sell what to, and the cost. ProEFA is $17.95 for 90 capsules and Complete Omega is $14.95 for 60 capsules. You can view the bottles, and compare costs, etc. at the links below. PRO EFA This is the professional line of the child friendly, third person tested for purity form of EFA. ProEFA is a mixture of DHA (omega 3) GLA (omega 6) and EPA. Other products that may help your child's communication found here as well. All prices listed include 2 day ship cost. http://shopinserviceinc.goemerchant2.com Ultimate Omega Complete Omega This is the commercial line of ProEFA, the child friendly, third person tested for purity form of EFA. Ultimate Omega is a mixture of DHA (omega 3) GLA (omega 6) and EPA. All prices listed do not include ship costs. http://www.nordicnaturals.com There are lots of suggestions in the archives here on how to give EFA's to your child. Most people pierce the capsules with a pin and squeeze the (fish) oil into drinks or food, but some squeeze it onto a spoon, or right into the child's mouth! It depends on the child. The borage oil in the ProEFA is naturally sweet, so more children (and adults) than you would expect actually like the taste!! (not all-most hide it) I had to hold my son's nose when I gave him Efalex, which is more fishy smelling and tasting, but he doesn't mind the ProEFA. Some people give their child a gummy bear after, etc. Whatever works to get the EFA's into the child, the EFA's seems to work on the child after that! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Hello, I want to order some EFA supplements for my 4.8 year old apraxic son. Who makes ProEFA -- is it Nordic Naturals? Is ProEFA the same thing as Ultimate Omega? The info on apraxia.cc says that ProEFA is the " professional " line, while Ultimate Omega is the " commercial " line. I'm not clear on this distinction. Any further explanation or recommendations on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
