Re: Nordic Naturals: Pro EFA VS Omega 3.6.9

[Guest guest]

omega 3/6/9 is the same as pro-EFA - just cheaper.

Start with 1/2 teaspoon a day.

1 capsule has 1/4 tsp. Hope you see some good things!

[ ] Nordic Naturals: Pro EFA VS Omega 3.6.9

Hello - decided to start supplementation on my son, not going to wait

for formal diagnosis (which could be a year away!).... so I trotted

over to the healthfood store today. Couldn't find the " Pro EFA " but

did find Nordic Naturals Omega 3.6.9 in caps, liquid and junior

strength.

Does anyone know the difference between the Pro and Omega. Is it just

packaging? According to Nordic's website the caps all have the same

levels of DHA, etc. Also - I noted that the liquid has much higher

levels per dose.... so how is everyone dosing? I see lots of posts as

to 1 cap, two caps or tsp dosing - but no clarfication as to which

product.

Maybe this is just the nurse in me talking but I want to get this

right - also think I will have a hard time getting anything down the

hatch on my son. I want to use the least amount possible but still

get him what he needs to start.

Thanks for any advice.

There are two issues...getting it down the hatch,as you said, and the

issue of keeping it fresh. The former is much easier if the latter

is paid attention to. Some people find that the capsules stay fresh

longer because you can just puncture them and squirt them into the

children's mouths, and before that they have no exposure to oxygen

and hence do not become rancid. You need to be very very careful if

you are giving the oil to keep it refrigerated with the top closed

tight.

Warning: one experience with rancid oil can make it very difficult to

give these in the future!

Peace,
