Eskimo Kids is a pure,
natural, essential fatty acid supplement formulated specifically for
children up to age 12. Because a child's brain and nervous system
has different fatty acid requirements whilst it is growing, Eskimo Kids
reflects these needs with a balance of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9
fatty acids, providing the 'building blocks' essential to growth and
development. Eskimo Kids contains antioxidants to protect its stability,
and it comes in a natural tutti-frutti flavour that kids will love.
Caution:
Not recommended for haemophiliacs. Consult with a medical doctor if
taking anti-coagulant medication, such as warfarin, coumarin or heparin.
Children from 1-12 years
of age:1
x 5ml teaspoon with a meal
Why do children need
omega-3 oil?
There is substantial
evidence that a low fatty acid intake can contribute to mood disorders
as well as behavioural problems and serious learning difficulties in
children, e.g. dyslexia, dyspraxia, autistic spectrum disorder, and
attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHA) disorder.
Eskimo Kids is
specifically formulated for optimal brain and eye nutrition and
therefore may help to improve:
attention and
concentration
mood and memory
These omega oils may
also be helpful for immunity, autoimmune and allergic conditions, as
well as dry skin conditions including dandruff and eczema.
The fish oil used in
Eskimo Kids is from fresh, deep-sea fish and not from cultivated fish.
The oil in Eskimo Kids
has been purified to reduce environmental toxins such as mercury and
pesticides, like PCBs and DDT, to well below the current acceptable
levels.
Contains Vitamin D, an
essential nutrient for healthy bone development in the growing child.
Added vitamin E helps t
maintain the stability of the oil, which keeps it fresh for longer.
Natural tutti-frutti
flavour from orange, raspberry, lemon and cherry oils.
Fatty
acids are the basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats.
The body can synthesize many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured
in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet. These are called
essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Fatty
acids are classified as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated –
depending on the amount of hydrogen in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.
(The
process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves
adding hydrogen to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a
saturated, solid oil, such as margarine).
Many
nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty
acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids. (The terms omega-3 and
omega-6 refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the
fatty acid molecule.) Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in
the diet and decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some
hydrogenated oils, may help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health
and wellness.
Essential
fatty acids offer profound benefits. They help:
Influence
hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular health.
Maintain
the structure and function of the cellular and sub-cellular membranes.
Regulate
cholesterol transport, degradation and removal from the body.
Influence
prostaglandins – hormone-like substances that promote smooth muscle
contractions, regulate blood pressure, regulate gastric secretions, and
impact other hormones – through a series of enzyme-dependent reactions.
Support
normal growth, especially of blood vessels and nerves.
Keep
skin and other tissue youthful and supple by lubricating abilities.
EFAs
are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola,
sunflower and safflower oils. Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil,
containing both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts. Cold saltwater
fatty fish – such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also
rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.
The
most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic
acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
