I don't understand why anyone buys Haliborange Omega Capsules. They contain only DHA 200 EPA 28 so a total of 228 Omega oil for 13.3p per 1 capsule
To get to the effective amount of omega used in the Durham Trial you would need to get over 550mg of Omega.
5 ml of ZIPVIT omega juice provides 600mg dha and 900mg of EPA a total of 1500mg of Omega for about 7p daily.

I have been giving my 2 daughters Omega 3 capsules for about 2 years now and I swear by them. My eldest daughter has ADHD which is kept on a controllable level by keeping the E numbers out of her diet and by giving her Omega 3 capsules. Since I've been giving them them both their teachers have noticed a difference in their work for the better. They are great.

Oh and theres 3 for 2 in Boots at the moment

Yeh it tastes just the same as orange juice or you can use omega 3 fish oil which tastes just like oranges and is 3 for 2 in Boots also.

Having followed Teds link to the Durham Trial (not having heard about it before) I was amazed to see the difference taking Omega 3 made to children with ADHD. I had heard previously heard that avoiding E numbers was advisable and so made sure my children, when they were younger, ate a little food with E numbers as possible although neither had ADHD. They are now 17 and 20.

With regard to supplements I have in recent years supplemented my own diet with "Super EPA fish oil capsules" from Holland and Barrett. I take 1 per day and they contain EPA 300 DHA 200.
I would recommend them for older children who don't have difficulty swallowing tablets/capsules as they are quite big. They are on offer at the moment 50% off at £5.49 for 90 capsules. The only down side is they can repeat on you.

Don't forget the Durham Trial used 556mg EPA so if you are using 300mgEPA capsules you would need 2 daily to get about the right amount.

The problem with burbing may be avoided if you take them before a meal. Perhaps half and hour before breakfast or possibly with food. You do get used to them and this problem lessens after a bit.

For many conditions the recommendation is 1.5g of Omega3 daily so this would mean 3 of these H&B Capsules which is while one teaspoon of the Zipvit may be more economical for some.
