2 What are omega-3 essential fatty acids? Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are nutrients that are considered essential because they are required for optimal health but cannot be produced by the body, and must, therefore, be obtained from diet or supplementation. Research has shown that the two most important EFAs are the omega-3s EPA and DHA. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are crucial building blocks of child development, playing important roles in every aspect of health.*

6 Most children don t get enough The vast majority of children are not getting enough EPA and DHA because they do not regularly consume enough cold-water fish, often because of concerns about environmental toxins such as mercury. Experts recommend purified fish oil Research shows that a high-quality, purified fish oil supplement is the healthiest, most reliable source of the EPA and DHA children require for healthy physical and mental development. How much is enough? As a general guideline, neurosurgeon Joseph Maroon, MD, recommends purified fish oil supplements for young children to ensure that they get at least 150 mg of DHA per day from birth until about age 5 1. Dr. Maroon estimates that the average child gets only one-fifth to one-third of that amount. For specific health conditions and individual requirements, it s always best to check with your physician or health professional. 1. Maroon J, Bost, J. Fish Oil The Natural Anti-Inflammatory.

The Norwegian fisheries management system is the most comprehensive and stringent in existence today. Fishing practices, equipment, and catch are rigorously inspected, and quotas for each fishing vessel are issued twice each year, based upon research of The Norwegian Ocean Research Institute. Norwegianborn Joar Opheim, Nordic Naturals CEO, has long-term relationships with Nordic Naturals fishermen and makes regular trips to the manufacturing facility in Norway to oversee sourcing and maintain the environmental responsibility of our fish oil, from the ocean to the finished product.
