BIOMEGA-3 Kids

Q: My child doesn't like the taste/texture of the capsule?

Don't worry! The oil in the capsule has a mild flavor and can be squeezed out on a piece of bread or mixed in with other food; for example, porridge. They shouldn't even notice that they've had it. Some children dislike the taste of fish and may, therefore, benefit from using BIOmega-3 Kids as it has a pleasant lemon flavor. The lemon flavor also helps prevent unpleasant "fish burps" that may occur during the day.

Question 4

What are Omega 3 fatty acids?

Answer

Omega 3 fatty acids are a group of essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are primarily found in fish, namely oily fish like herring, salmon, and mackerel.

The two most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA have several positive health benefits. For instance, a 200 mg per day intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain, eyes, and vision of infants and younger children. In adults, 250 mg of DHA each day contributes to maintaining normal brain and heart function. In addition, it supports a normal heart function. The mentioned levels correspond with 2 (200mg) and 3 (250mg) Bio-Fish Oil capsules daily.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks in all cells and ensure that cell membranes are sufficiently flexible and have the right fluid content, both of which are important for the correct functioning of cells.

Question 6

What do nutrient units mean?

Answer

Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here’s what the common units for nutrients are:

Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.

Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g

Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg

International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.

Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol
