What is Omega Oil Junior?
Omega Oil Junior are essential fatty acids omega-3-6-9 (EFA), specially formulated for children aged 2 and up.

Because you can easily add Omega Oil Junior to foods and drinks, it's a great option for adding healthy fats to your child's favorite snacks or meals. It can also be taken directly with a spoon and a glass of water.
Benefits of Omega Oil Junior
Research shows that deficiencies in certain omega essential fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may increase the risk of health problems in children, as these omega-3 EFAs are integral to the development of a healthy nervous system.
Furthermore, a lack of omega EFAs can interfere with the normal growth and maturation of vital organs and tissues in children, leading to developmental problems. Since children may not consume foods that are good sources of omega-3s (e.g. salmon, mackerel, tuna), supplementing with Omega Oil Junior makes it easier to get these key EFAs in their diet.
It is important to note that almost all omega fatty acids must be obtained through food and/or supplements, as the body does not produce them on its own.
The benefits of Omega Oil Junior are important for your child because they:
- Support the proper development of the nervous system
- Helps children meet their daily needs for fatty acids
- Increases immune defense
- Promote healthy growth
