Carlson - Kid's Chewable DHA, 100 mg DHA, Brain & Vision Function, Growth & Development, Orange, 60 Chewable Softgels

DHA for kids is a tricky business. We don't doubt the health benefits but finding a brand that suits all tastes is impossible. In our household, one son likes Carlson for Kids Chewable DHA so much he bites down on the shell, `drinks' the oil and chews up the shell. The other son pops it in the back of his throat to dodge his taste buds.We previously purchased Childrens DHA 250 mg Strawberry Flavor By Nordic Naturals and gave that product a five-star review. Unfortunately, it never was available through Amazon's Subscribe & Save program, so we switched to Carlson for Kids to save money. With both products, the fish oil supplement has provided our youngest son a marked improvement in his allergies and asthma.One soft gel includes 600mg of fish body oil concentrate, which provides 100 mg of DHA and 50 mg of EPA. Other ingredients listed are: Natural tocopherois, natural orange and tangerine flavors. Soft Gel Shell: Beef gelatin, glycerin, water.Your decision comes down to price and flavor. Carlson for Kids offers a "Bursting Orange Flavor" and Nordic Naturals offers strawberry. We recommend both products. Check Amazon prices regularly so you can get the best savings.Rating: Five stars.

My kids love these. They taste good to me too."The implications of omega-3 deficiency on the brain are profound and span the entire human life cycle. Beginning in pregnancy, premature birth and its potential neurologic complications may result from omega-3 deficiency. Babies who are bottle-fed or born from omega-3-deficient mothers will lack the omega-3 fatty acids necessary for optimal cognitive and visual development. Children deprived of omega-3s may have less ability to pay attention and control impulsive behavior and may be at higher risk for depression. Teenagers and adults with omega-3 deficiency may be more prone to hostility or violence. In aging, the loss of omega-3 fatty acids in the brain may result in a higher risk of stroke, memory problems, or dementia. Individuals of any age without adequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and body may also be at higher risk for depression, bipolar disorder, and possibly other psychiatric disorders." - The Omega3 Connection by Andrew L Stoll MD, page 40Learn more: [...]

They work but too expensive

This is not chewable. It's a gelcap. You have to hire in and spit out the gelcap which doesn't work for small children.

My toddler is 2.5 and he definitely will not and can not chew these lol these are not a chewable in my opinion but they are very easy to empty into a drink. No bad smells and they seem to taste fine. He drinks them with his juice and all is well 😊

My daughter is 10 and struggles at times with swallowing pills. Since this product stated it could be shewed I purchased. She hates the taste of the gel in the capsule. She takes the tablet because it is apart of her regimen for her ADHD. However, I will be looking for something different for the immediate future to get better results with taste.

Perfect size for my 5 year old son, he likes taste & they work really good & I noticed his teeth health has improved.

My ASD kid loves these and they do help! I can tell a difference when he doesnt take these.
