Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I too give my 2.9 year old son 1 capsule of fish oil a day - 1000 mg. I squeeze it right into this juice. Is that to little? I have seen amazing change in the first week of giving it to him.....the 1 capsule dosage was from his developmental pediatrician....
