we use eskimo oil for 9mth old and 2 year old, lemon flavour so tastes good, only needs 1-2ml at this age. can easily hide in yogurt.
Also eskimo kids is tutti frutti flavour so many kids prefer this one. also only need 2 ml per day.
They have no artifical ingredients and have been voted by food safety authority in Ireland to be be best quality fish oil, very pure, no farmed fish used.

I am interested in finding out more information about the effects that Fish Oil with DHA and EPA have on children with ADD/ADHD sypmtoms. I have a 7 year old daughter and would like to try this as an alternative to perscribed medications that act as stimulates. I read about Haliborange Mega 3 Syrup, but am having a hard time finding it where I live in the United States. Any input or suggestions?

i would avoid halib orange as everything they sell has sugar (usually hidden in ingredients under names you might not recognise) or loads or artifical sweetners.

Our local add group are recommending eskimo and have had some kids able to come off their medication while taking it. their is a thread on add and fish oil somewhere.

Thank you for the information. I am looking forward to finding an alternative and suggesting this to other parents and educators (my husband and I are both teachers).
