Bearing in mind the Durham trial used 500mg of EPA daily to demonstrate the effect of Omega3's on child behaviour and concentration, it will be interesting if you could highlight one of your products which is more cost effective than than OMEGA JUICE from ZIPVIT
I'm not a betting man but
I've looked at your website and I can't find it.

Read about it on the site somewhere, looked at the astronomical prices of it in Boots. What cod liver oil/omega 3 formula is there suitable for a 5 year old? My son has behaviour problems, and I have tried just about everything - the fish oil is something that hadn't occurred to me until last week.
Does the bog standard cod liver oil taste totally vile?
Should I just feed him oily fish every day?

Hi Sarah

Thanks to Ted and other posters I have just started my 11 year old on Omeaga Juice from Zipvit. He has no problems taking a 5ml spoonful everyday and its nicer than some capsuals which you have to take a few of and it tastes ok(it must do as he would never of agreed to take it so willingly!) It would be ideal for your littlun and one bottle will last just over a month at £4.95. https://www.zipvit.co.uk. Customer service is great to. Thank you Ted, you have been a great source of help and advice :A

Sorry to be stupid but which juice should I be ordering suitable for a 10 year old. I read in a magazine that its also benefical for skin complaints so I tried the Halibro (she loves the taste) but from Teds post see content useless.

I was going to look in H&B to see what they had.

Also I take Vit B complex, as someone told me it speeds up metabolism. Is this true. Do I need to take individual B vits or is ok to take all in one. They have had some effect on me and I should be lighter (if you get my meaning) but don't think I am
Finally will any of these interact with my Agnus Castus (I use Quest as highest amount per tablet).

I have started buying st. ivel milk with omega 3 oil as I have been convinced by recent publicity. As son drinks up to 2 pints a day, I expect to come home to see him slouched over his homework instead of a computer game. However, does anyone know why 2 litres costs £1.45 wherever it is sold? They've been putting it in my cat's food for years (she's now doing her Masters) at very little, if any extra cost!

St Ivel advance Product Formulation has the details of it's Omega content.
which is delivering EPA and DHA content of 113mg / 250 ml whole milk and 63 mg / 250 ml semi-skimmed milk. If your son is drinking 2pts of full a day that would be 452 mg of omega.
The Durham Research into Fatty Acids used 558 mg of EPA, 174 mg of DHA and 60 mg of GLA. total [size=+1]792 so perhaps you could still boost the total with a little ZIPVIT OMEGA JUICE to ensure a fully effective dose is received.
You'll find the Zipvit omega juice is a much cheaper way of obtaining a High EPA source of omega, however getting it through the milk may well be easier.

What's wrong with buying plain and simple Pure Cod Liver Oil ?

Superdrug is currently selling their own brand 300ml bottles 3 for 2, which works out at just under £1.33 per 300ml bottle - enough in each bottle to last two months at a 5ml teaspoon per day.

Even better would be to consume a small cheap can of sardines/mackerel/pilchards two or three times a week.

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this thread. I bought some haliborange tablets for my 7 year old son but there doesn't seem to have been much effect. Now I know why!

I'm going to order some juice for him from zipvit and if he doesn't like the taste I reckon I'll be able to hide it in his food somehow.

It just goes to show what a difference there is between different brands. No wonder they talk of ways to regulate the vitamin industry.
