Fish Oil for Kids- These fish oil & omega-3 products have been taste-tested -- and approved -- by ADDitude's (666 hits)
Like many other parents, I want my daughter, Natalie, to consume more omega-3 fatty acids; several studies suggest that they improve focus and concentration in kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). When it comes to taste -- especially the taste of fish oil, a common source of omega-3s -- children can be choosy. So ADDitude asked three kids -- Natalie (age 10, ADHD), Harry (10, ADHD), and Katie (7, ADD) -- to try several popular omega-3 products.
Although none of the products caused the dreaded fish burp -- a deal-breaker for adults and kids alike -- some of them needed to be hidden in other foods to get past our tasters' picky palates. Here are the results, along with some frank comments from our panel.
