ninalim:

Maybe childlife cod liver oil from GNC has the same quality as Nordic?

Hi Ninalim,

do you know the total mg of EPA and DHA for childlife? The daily requirement is combi of 500mg. Realised that not a lot of fish oil has a total combi of 500mg leh. Maybe I will check it out at GNC too.

for fish oil, the best absorption is when the EPA: DHA is in the ratio of 3:2


i got mine from Pharmanex for my kids.. its in capsule form but i put it into their milk but you have to introduce early la.. cos they wont know..if you give in the later part, they will feel the smell.. hehe..

please also note that cod liver oil is different from fish oil.. i personally wont introduce cod liver oil for my kids.. heheh..

Hi all, my boy often complains of gas in his tummy and he gets stomach upset quite easily. Any gd supplements to recommend? i try to avoid giving him meds unless it’s really necessary. Thanks!

I give my girl the following supplements:

1. Nordic Naturals cod liver oil (Previously Scotts emulsion original flavor)
2. Childlife Colostrum

I am wondering if it is really necessary to give Vitamin C supplement as my girl loves to eat fruits. Anyone could advise on this?

Thanks!

if your child is takin fruits & vege on a daily basis, preferably spread out to at least 2 meals a day, then there's no need for vit c supp.
