This is mom....

So, i think the first thing i will mention is that all of my children and GRANDCHILDREN should be on fish oil. Numerous studies have been done on the benefits of fish oil--especially the DHA component. Fish oil is broken down into two parts EPA and DHA. It used to be thought that the EPA was the most beneficial of the fish oil but now they are finding that getting more DHA is the best way to go. DHA is good for inflammation and the brain. (depression, mood disorders, cognitive thinking,etc.) Studies find that children taking DHA score higher in school and are able to handle stress better. I know cost is always a factor but if you go online to places like iherb.com or luckyvitamin.com you can get it pretty cheap. Less than half the price than what is sold at the store that i work at. Most places if you order $60 - 100 you get free shipping plus you don't have to pay for any sales tax. Try the Coromega brand for the kids--they have lime, chocolate or orange flavored. For the adults, Carlson DHA 500.

Wow, this is great to be able to do this and I don't even feel like I am lecturing to any of you. hee,hee, xoxoxoxooxxomommy
