Healthy kids Omega 3 Plus multivitamins and minerals



I cannot stress enough the importance of children getting adequate micro-nutrient supplementation, especially essential fatty acids in the omega-3 class, EPA and DHA. I am very fortunate to have five healthy grandchildren, all with excellent cognitive functioning. I attribute this in part to the fact that during their pregnancies, my daughters were diligent in taking supplemental DHA and other nutrients, along with providing the children these supplemental nutrients after breast feeding stopped.

Vitacost.com offers many different vitamin/mineral supplements for children, including excellent prenatal supplements. Two very popular products are the Nutraceutical Sciences Institute® (NSI®) Synergy PediaPower® Children's Chewable Multi-Vitamins and Omega Fishies for Kids chewables, providing 248 mg of EPA and DHA per serving. This is a great combination for the good health of your children. Many people ask me about the cartoon vitamins sold at drugstores and discount stores. I must tell you they are very poor quality and they are full of artificial chemical ingredients I would not personally consume.
