Re: How much omega-3s/fish oil??

[Guest guest]

For my son, the doc recommended for him (dx PDD) - one in the morning and one

in the evening - this was for Cormega in addition to the CLO. The reason we

use Cormega is that for every 4 proofs of purchase, I get a free box. Good

luck, Kath

I think one cap is enough. I gave my son two in one day once and he

got nightmares and a nosebleed (omega 3 thins the blood)

You could try EyeQ (www.equzen.com) which is quite palatable. It

comes in tiny micro-caps or in bottles. You could freeze half the

bottle and use the other half so that it doesn't go rancid

Thanks for the suggestion.

We have also tried Coromega--I think it is generally a good product. My son

takes them willingly, my duaghter is hit-or-miss. My kids have major phenol

sensitivity (tho' seems to be getting better slowly with chelation) and I think

the orange bothers her. She does not like orange juice either-----maybe she

" knows " it's a problem for her.

Hi Lissy,

it must be some mistake - how 1000mg capsule can contain 1200mg EPA

plus other staff - it's impossible :-)

I have EPA capsules bought long time ago - they are so big that my

son also could not swallow them - and the bottle says that each

capsule has 450mg EPA, 100 mg DHA and 50mg other Omega3. We switched

to Omega Brite and Pro DHA - they have equally small size( Omega

Brite is very high in EPA, Pro DHA is higher in DHA), and Coromega,

which is tasty. You can order omega Brite from www.omegabrite.com .

I heard at some DAN! conference that at least several grams a day -

like 3 grams (more is better) - is recommended.

Lissy,

I would better give them in the morning and afternoon - it seems

that evening doses really can cause bad sleep.

That is based on a serving size of TWO capsules. but we choose to

give just one capsule

-- yes, though they also have evening primrose (an Omega 6)

and how big is a micro cap??

-- I haven't used them, but I think they are about the same size as

small pearls

[Guest guest]

the lcp connection recommends 450 mg DHA daily for three months and then 1/2

of that afterwards. this is what i give ben and claudia. I also rub skin with

1000mg primprose oil.
