Mumsnetters and their children needed to test NutraSea omega-3 fish oil

We've been asked by NutraSea to find 50 Mumsnetters who are willing for their child to try a new omega-3 liquid fish oil called NutraSea Kids.

To take part in the trial your children need to be aged between 2-16 and either an existing user of omega-3 liquid fish oils or to have tried them in the past and not liked the taste.

If you're selected to take part, NutraSea will send you a bottle each of NutraSea+D and NutraSea Kids and we will email you a link to a thread on Mumsnet for your feedback.

The trial will last three months and you will need to add feedback three times: after two weeks, after one month and then after the oil is finished at the end of the three months.

Your two-week feedback should mainly concentrate on your reaction to the taste of the pure oil compared to your existing omega-3 liquid fish oil supplement or the ones you have tried in the past.

Your feedback after one month and at the end of the three months should concentrate on the health benefits you have noticed (if any) or the difference (if any) the product has made to your/your child's health.

Everyone who adds three lots of feedback will be sent a £10 Holland and Barrett gift voucher and entered into a prize draw to win a £100 ASOS gift voucher.

At the recommended dose, NutraSea and NutraSea+D are safe to consume during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, but if you're pregnant or taking any medication please consult your doctor before taking the supplements.

Thanks,

MNHQ

We have the very berry. Couldn't remember which of kids I had agreed to test it on so gave it to both this morning. DD said it didn't have enough flavour and 'could she have some Calpol instead please'. Calpol is her favourite taste in the world. DS thought it was 'ok'. No-body gagged or threw up which is better than last time we tried a similar product!

Have tried the apple the last couple of days. The oil content is higher but I could taste slight apple flavour. We do shake the bottles hard as oil is likley to float over any flavour there is. Also I don't much care for apples so maybe I notice that flavour more?

Anyway gave 5ml to teen without telling them it was different. Then asked what they thought of the different flavour. Response was "was it different, I didn't notice".

Someone asked about this as an alternative to chews. Don't know what chewy things you're giving but I like to know that the fish oil I give has been screened for mercury. Also if the source is cods liver (as it tends to be in cheaper products) then it may have too high a vitamin A content for children, especially if in a multi-vitamin type thing. So read boxes carefully.
