I often get the question 'what fish oil should my child be taking'? It depends. As a general rule, I recommend a high DHA fish oil to children under the age of two because of it's positive effects on the developing brain. After that, I often switch them to a blend of EPA and DHA, as DHA alone 'may' affect their mood/behaviour. That being said, there ARE situation where I would pick a different type of oil for a unique situation or specific complaints, and that is why it is often best to discuss your child's needs with your Naturopath!
