changing up the fish oil

[Guest guest]

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.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Kelley:

Does your child get enough Omega 6 in her diet? Here is a link I

found that might help you.
