Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 A friend of mine hooked us up with free Nordic Naturals samples which is so incredibly great of her since we all know how expensive they are. However, She gave me the Arctic Omega brand which is Omega 3's but no 6 or 9. We have previously been on 4 Omega 3.6.9's a day and two EPAs. It is soooo tempting to switch our daughter to the Arctic Omega but I'm worried about regression with changing things up. Has anyone had their child on(or switched their child to) just Omega 3's? The Arctic Omega is EPA 360mg, DHA 240 mg, and other Omega 3's 100 mg. I really don't want to mess things up here, but as you all know Nordic Naturals is so expensive and we would be saving so much money by just using our samples. I don't know if I should just try it and see what happens and if so, what the closest equivalent dose would be ? (6 Arctic Omegas seems a little excessive?) Any help would be greatly appreciated. My husband thinks I would be insane to still buy the 3.6.9 and EPA if we have this big box of samples just sitting there.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Why don't you try it and just monitor? If you see regression, it quickly is reversed by going back to the old formula...and really nothing is lost, except a few days of progress. - > A friend of mine hooked us up with free Nordic Naturals samples > which is so incredibly great of her since we all know how expensive > they are.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi Kelley: Does your child get enough Omega 6 in her diet? Here is a link I found that might help you. http://www.annecollins.com/dietary-fat/omega-6-fats.htm Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 , When we had the same situation I used the arctic omega and added some evening primrose oil separately to get the GLA found in the Proefa. You might want to give it a try. Evening primrose oil is easy to find and cheap. You could use borage oil instead to add the GLA component. > > Nordic Naturals is so expensive and we would be saving so much > money > > by just using our samples.
