Sure, supplementing DHA in developing children is a great strategy, but how do you get them to take it? Furthermore, sometimes what they are willing to take doesn’t provide enough DHA. So, finding the intersection between dose and delivery form is critical.
DHA essential for expecting mothers and developing children
DHA is the most essential long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid utilized in the formation and development of the central nervous system. Studies show that children who have been provided with optimal DHA nutrition manifest healthy mental function and social interaction skills. Mothers who consume DHA nutrition not only benefit their gestation and breast-feeding children, but also support their own mental and overall health.
How to Get Kids to Take DHA: It’s All About Delivery
Kids will consume things that taste good while refusing things that taste bad. Don’t you love them! Simple. So the dilemma is getting them to take what they need, at the levels they need, and have them like it. In our experience, this points to liquid forms of DHA.
Benefits of Liquid DHA:
(1) you get high levels of DHA
(2) you can flavor it in a way that it could be acceptable to children
The truth is you have to mix it with something they like; usually with a beverage. Now with most kid’s, find one of their favorite juices and you are off and running. In kids who are facing issues such as ADHD, or other challenges along that spectrum, they can be more sensitive and you really need to get creative.
