Have a Question?
-
What is the work of NOW Foods, Kid's DHA Chewables in children?
NOW Foods Kid's DHA Chewables provide an essential omega-3 fatty acid that plays a crucial role in children's development. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is particularly important for brain and eye development, potentially supporting cognitive function, memory, and visual acuity. These chewables offer a convenient way for children to obtain DHA, which may be especially beneficial for those who don't consume enough DHA-rich foods in their diet.
-
How much DHA does a child need?
The recommended amount of DHA for children can vary based on age and individual needs. Generally, for children aged 2-12 years, a daily intake of 100-200 mg of DHA is often suggested. However, some experts recommend higher amounts, especially for children with specific health conditions or developmental needs.
-
What food is highest in DHA?
Fatty fish are typically the highest food sources of DHA. Specifically, cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring are excellent sources of DHA. Other good sources include algae (which is where fish get their DHA), fish oil, and some fortified foods like certain eggs, milk, and juices.
-
What are the best sources of DHA for children?
The best sources of DHA for children include fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and sardines, as well as fish oil supplements designed for kids. For those following vegetarian or vegan diets, algae-based DHA supplements are available. Some fortified foods, such as certain brands of eggs, milk, and orange juice, can also provide DHA.

NOW Foods Kid's DHA Chewables are generally well-tolerated by most children. However, some potential side effects may include fishy burps, upset stomach, or a slightly fishy aftertaste. In rare cases, children may experience allergic reactions, especially if they have a fish allergy.
-
Which fruit has DHA?
Fruits do not naturally contain DHA, as it is primarily found in animal-based foods, especially fatty fish. However, some fruits may be fortified with DHA, such as certain fruit juices or fruit-based snacks. It's important to note that these are not natural sources of DHA but rather products that have had DHA added to them during processing.
