Just started giving my kids Nordic cod liver oil on the recommendation of a friend...it's very pure and has DHA, Vit A, D and E.

Scotts original smells fishy...so no point getting it. The orange flavor is ok once a while. Whatever can boost the brain and immunity now is on my list of MUST-HAVE.

Can kindly advise where do you usually get the Nordic cod liver oil for kids? I went to the pharmacies (Unity, Guardian, Watson) but they do not stock this.

Thanks.

It's available at Vitakids at United Square or Forum Shopping Mall. But it's at least 30-40% more expensive.

Alternatively, you may consider using Efalex which is Omega 3 & 6, as it has done trials for its efficacy. For older kids, it's in capsule form and for younger kids in syrup. Efalex is available at Watsons & Guardian but not iherb.

I've been using another brand called Carlson's DHA as my kids prefer the taste. At the end, you need to compare the amount of DHA & EPA per capsule.

My kids take Nordic Naturals fish oil (which has Omega 3-6-9) : http://www.iherb.com/m/Nordic-Naturals-Omega-3-6-9-Junior-Lemon-Flavor-500-mg-180-Chewable-Soft-Gels/12772?at=1

You can check the amount of DHA, EPA etc in each capsule under supplement facts in the above link.

If you need a code for USD10 off applicable for a first time buyer, let me know.

Hi hi!


My DS hasn’t been drinking FM nor fresh milk since he weaned off BM when he was 2.5yo. He’s 4yo now. He doesn’t like to drink milk at all.

Any calcium supplements recommended?

My boys, 6 and 4 have been taking Nordic Naturals Children DHA and Sambucol, Black Elderberry Immune System Support Liquid, For Kids. I see great improvements with their immune systems from taking the above. Especially, for Sambucol, it tends to help with cough, phlegm and runny nose.


I shop at iHerb for more discounts and fast DHL delivery. You can even save $10 off your first order of $40 or more; or $5 off orders less than $40! just by using my Coupon Code ABU522.

Wonderful that your DS has not drank milk filled with hormones, antibotics & pathogens. No, he does not need calcium supplements. In fact, no one should take them. This just out: \"A recent study published in the journal Heart found that people who took calcium supplements regularly had an 86 percent greater risk of having a heart attack,\". Read the article:

This is a good guide to calcium sources:

But I would recommend skipping oat & orange juice (eat the orange instead).

I try sambucol on my kids. Hmm… Sadly it doesn’t work for my kids. So I rely on manuka honey!


When I think they r gg to fall sick, I give aloe vero drink mix with honey.
