Let’s not forget, healthy children mean great health = > good brainfood = > better results & perhaps even being fit for sports!

Anyone of you come across good supplement(s) for children between 6-12 years old? Usual Vitamin Cs/multivitamins are available in all pharmacies - but what about nutritional supplements etc? Thoughts?

Nowadays I switched to giving my DD chia seeds for omega. It contains more omega than fish oil. It doesn’t have DHA though. So am still giving DHA separately.

I giving my DD Childlife pure DHA and cod liver oil from GNC. Used to give vit c and multi vit also but later I decided to stick to DHA and cod liver oil only as the rest of the nutrition are quite enough from her formula milk and daily food.

hi mummies,


I read the earlier post about fish oil and cod liver oil. where it is mention that fish oil is better than cod liver oil.

I am interested to get Nordic Naturals, Children’s DHA, Strawberry Flavor, 250 mg, 90 Chewable Soft Gels for my kids.

Is this brand reliable as it is Made from 100% Arctic Cod Livers

Thanks

Hi Everyone,


I'm newbie to Kiasu parents but very kiasu about my children's health especially building their immunity. I've 3 kids (11, 10, 6 with No 4 on the way!!). I've been giving my kids supplements regularly - Rainbow Light Multi-vitamin gummies & Rainbow Light Omegalicious (Omega 3 - some people believe kids should only take Omega 3 but not 6 & 9). My friends give their kids Nordic Naturals & I take Nordic Naturals 369 for myself. In the past one year, I've been giving my kids Sambucol -Elderberry extract or Sambucol (which has elderberry & echinacea - this is a FANTASTIC product! The moment the kids have the slightest sniff or cough, they take twice a day for 3-5 days (cannot be taken continuously for more than 2 weeks) and their flu never develops. I've not brought my kids to see the doctor for the past one year!!

Another product that's great is Sinusin - a homeopathic nasal spray for mild rhinitis - great for stopping a full-blown cold after spraying a few days.

I order all my supplements from http://www.iherb.com which was recommended to me by my nutritionist. I even order my organic shampoos & all kinds of flu herbal stuff there. The prices are at least 30-50% cheaper GNC or Vitakids or other shops here even with shipping costs thrown in. Just order below US$300 to avoid GST charges when you ship in. Shipping cost is fairly inexpensive. I order more than 20 products each time and my shipping is still less than US$20.

Happy shopping!

But of course you must read widely and consult a naturopath or herbal remedy practitioner before you simply give your children herbal medication. There are lots of testimonials on every product and all the ingredients are clearly spelt out.

If you wish to buy the products there, you may use my Discount Code LUY703 which will give you US$5 off your first purchase and I will also get a small discount credit for my next purchase for introducing other customers (win-win :)) but if you choose to open your own account without using the discount code that's fine too!

Happy shopping & save $ going to the doctors!
