Description
Eskimo-3 Healthy Kids is an easy way to support children as their brains and body's develop. It's easy to take with a choice of 2 child-friendly flavours and with no fishy taste it's ideal for kids who don't eat much fish. The added vitamin D also provides support for everyday health including immune function and healthy teeth and bones. The Department of Health recommend children over the age of 3 should consider supplementing daily with 10mcg of Vitamin D as it is difficult to achieve the level of Vitamin D required by the body through diet alone. Taking 1 teaspoon daily provides EPA and DHA roughly equivalent to 4 or 5 small portions of oily fish per week.
- Omega-3 from pure and stable fish oil
- Omega-6 and -9 from plant oils to provide an optimal balance of fatty acids
- With vitamins D to support immune health
- Eskimo®-3 oil is of the highest quality from fully traceable sources.
Why Are Essential Fatty Acids Important For Kids' Health?
No longer deemed the bad guys, we now know that dietary fats are absolutely crucial for health, and are especially important for the growing child. One particular type of fats, omega-3s, have become the subject of extensive and ongoing research over recent years. Omega-3s are the fats you find in large quantities in oily fish such as tuna, mackerel and salmon, and they are known to be helpful for virtually all aspects of health including heart, brain, mood, joints, vision and inflammation. However, the typical western diet is low in omega-3s, as we simply don't eat enough fish, in particular the oily fish needed to supply the body with the essential omega-3s it needs. It can be especially difficult to get our children to eat enough oily fish in their diet, so supplementing can be a useful option for supporting their overall health.
Optimally Absorbed - Eskimo®-3 is in triglyceride form meaning it is optimally absorbed. Research has shown that Eskimo®-3 fish oil may be more effective than plain fish oil and a superior way to support heart, brain and vision.
Pure - Eskimo®-3 is a high quality fish oil made from anchovies, sardines and mackerel, small fish that are naturally low in toxins. The purification process of Eskimo®-3 is carried out close to the fishing grounds where pressing, centrifugation and molecular distillation all take place in accordance with GMP and pharmaceutical standards. State-of-the-art technology is used for the purification procedure meaning Eskimo®-3 products contain no residue from the manufacturing process and are hexane free.
Scientifically Backed - More than 100 scientific articles have been published in leading medical journals worldwide demonstrating the effects of Eskimo®-3 fish oil and the Eskimo®-3 range.
What Other Areas Of Health Are Supported? Omega-3 fatty acids have been well studied, with EPA and DHA having been shown to support healthy cardiovascular function, vision, skin and joint health. Omega-6 and -9 fatty acid are also useful for supporting a healthy brain and nervous system. Vitamin D is important for immune function and healthy bones and teeth.
