SHARPkids Omega (liquid) 120 (P1055-KL)
Patient One SHARPkids Omegas supplies highly purified and concentrated Omega-3 fatty acids as triglycerides in an easy-to-take liquid form. SHARPkids Omegas is formulated in a high EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) to DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) ratio for targeted health support.*
Certified pharmaceutical grade fish oil sourced from Norwegian cold water fish (anchovy, sardine, mackerel), SHARPkids Omegas is molecularly distilled and manufacturer-tested as well as third-party tested for contaminants and environmental pollutants. Our processing technology and proprietary natural lemon flavoring ensures no fishy smell, taste, or aftertaste.*
SHARPkids Omegas is a rich source of Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. With today’s typical diets commonly lacking suffcient omega 3s, children may be deficient in EPA and DHA, important building blocks of child development. Evidence indicates that fatty acid deficiencies or imbalances may contribute to childhood neuro-development challenges. Studies have linked levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in the blood to children’s ability to concentrate and learn as well as to their mood and behavior. Higher doses of EPA within essential fatty acids supplements was significantly associated with increased support for cognition and behavior.
The “Triglyceride” Form Absorption Advantage
The many health benefits of Omega-3s can only be derived if the body absorbs the fatty acids. Although scientific research demonstrates the triglyceride form as the superior delivery mode of fish oil, very few fish oil concentrates in the marketplace are available in this form because of the higher production costs. Most fish oils contain the “ethyl ester” form of fatty acid, synthetic Omega-3 molecules, shown to be less effective in delivering essential fatty acids to the body during digestion and metabolism. SHARPkids Omegas supplies fish oil concentrate in the preferred re-esterified triglyceride form to optimize its effectiveness.*
