3 Kids call it a treat. Parents call it a triumph! 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 many aspects of health, including normal brain and eye function, and nervous and immune system support.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

4 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, in large part because kids are picky eaters and in some cases because it is simply not available to them. Experts recommend purified fish oil Research shows that a high-quality, purified fish oil supplement is the healthiest, most reliable source of the omega-3s children require for healthy physical and mental development. As a general guideline, Keri Marshall, MS, ND, recommends purified fish oil supplements that include both omega-3 fats EPA and DHA to ensure that young children get adequate amounts of these essential nutrients. Dr. Marshall estimates that the average child does not get enough omega-3 fats in their diet, because many children eat a limited diet that often does not include fish. In early childhood, DHA is particularly important because the brain relies heavily on this essential fatty acid for proper growth throughout this period of rapid development. From approximately age four through adolescence, most children benefit from a higher ratio of EPA to DHA in order to optimize their general health. For specific health conditions and individual requirements, please check with your health care professional. 2

18 REGULATED FISHING: To prevent overfishing, 100% of our fish is sourced in compliance with the Norwegian fisheries management system, which has been a model of sustainability for over 30 years. Our processing plant in Svolvær, Norway is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Chain of Custody-certified. This comprehensive traceability program tracks seafood from the fresh case back to an MSC-certified fishery. BYCATCH PREVENTION: Only responsible fishing gear is used including purse seine nets, sorting grids, and large meshes to protect against bycatch of unintended species. HABITAT PROTECTION: Fish are caught using line and net fishing methods to prevent seafloor and ecosystem damage caused by fishing practices such as bottom trawling and dredging. MARINE POLLUTION PROTECTION: Up to 80% of marine pollution is caused by land-based sources such as runoff, sewage, and waste. Our coastal processing facilities are leaders in minimizing pollution and conserving resources. SUSTAINABLE SOURCING: All of our products are made exclusively from four types of wild-caught fish, none of which is endangered: Arctic cod, anchovies, sardines, and salmon. 100% of all fish is used for human or animal consumption. 16 LEARN MORE planetnordic.com
