Docosahexaenoic acid and the developing central nervous system in humans functional and structural considerations
Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 2000
Each chewable softgel delivers 100mg DHA and 60mg EPA in re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form the most bioavailable form of fish oil. Sourced from wild anchovy, sardine, and mackerel. Mercury free and molecularly distilled. Natural orange flavour sweetened with monk fruit. No sugar. No artificial additives.
DHA is the most abundant omega-3 in the human brain and retina. It is a structural component of neuronal cell membranes and retinal photoreceptor membranes not just a fuel source. The brain accumulates DHA rapidly from birth through childhood, and DHA makes up approximately 50% of the fatty acids in retinal photoreceptor membranes, the highest concentration of DHA in any tissue in the body. This formula is DHA dominant (100mg DHA, 60mg EPA per softgel) to reflect that developmental priority.
Fish oil comes in three forms: natural triglyceride (TG), ethyl ester (EE), and re-esterified triglyceride (rTG). The rTG form concentrates EPA and DHA and then re-attaches the fatty acids to a glycerol backbone, recreating the natural triglyceride structure at higher potency. The digestive system absorbs triglyceride-form fats most efficiently. Studies show rTG form achieves significantly higher plasma DHA and EPA levels than ethyl ester form at the same dose important in a children’s softgel where each dose is small.
Fish oil sourced from three wild-caught small pelagic species: anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus), and mackerel (Scomber scombrus). These species are near the bottom of the marine food chain and accumulate significantly less mercury than large predatory fish. The oil is purified by molecular distillation, removing heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, and other contaminants, then re-esterified to rTG form and encapsulated in Canada under Health Canada oversight.
Chew softgel thoroughly before swallowing. Take with food. Consult a healthcare practitioner to determine the appropriate dosage for your child.
Children aged 3 and older who need daily DHA support for brain, eye, and nerve development. A good fit for parents who want a chewable softgel children accept readily, the most bioavailable form of fish oil (rTG), a mercury-free formula from low-risk wild fish sources, and a Health Canada licensed, Canadian-made product with no sugar or artificial additives.
Contains fish (anchovy, sardine, mackerel) and gelatin. Not suitable for children with fish allergies or for vegetarian and vegan families. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use for children under 3 or if your child has a medical condition or is taking medications. Keep out of reach of children. Refrigerate after opening.
