Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I use freshly ground flax seeds. They mix easily into peanut butter, applesauce, etc. They're cheap and are easily ground with a $10 coffee grinder. Kirkman's has small chewable gell caps. They taste good. They're also a good start to swallowing pills as they're pretty small and if they do get chewed it's OK. If the caps taste foul the oil is probably rancid. Rancid oil is actively harmful.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi , I put the caplets into applesauce or you could maybe try some nut butter. I don't think you are supposed to cook with them but maybe someone else can weigh in on that. Good luck, Thea [ ] How to give Omega 3s?? > Does anyone have any good ideas as to how to get these giant Omega 3 > capsules into my 2 1/2 year old son?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi , Just some info that will help all of you who are having a problem getting pills into your child........Walmart sells spray in the mouth vitamins called Vitamist.They have everything to offer in different combinations. You can also go to www.vitamist.com This way the child doesn't have to digest the vitamins but absorbs it thru the mucus membranes.
