Great tasting, chewable fish oil capsules to support healthy brain
development, learning and behaviour in children. Studies have shown that
omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3) are essential for healthy development in

don’t eat enough fish or get sufficient omega-3s from their diet.

How it works
Fish oil is a source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids
(EFAs) are incorporated into every cell membrane in the body in the form of
compounds called phospholipids. Cell membranes play the vital role of regulating
what goes into, and what comes out of, each cell. The integrity and fluidity of
the cell membrane is determined by the type of phospholipid that is available
for the body to use.
Cell membranes made up mainly of phospholipids derived from the essential
polyunsaturated fatty acids are more fluid and function better than cell
membranes made up of saturated fat or trans-fatty acids. A cell membrane working
at optimal levels retains vital nutrients and electrolytes, has the ability to
communicate with other cells, and is responsive to hormones.
Omega-3s play a role in brain development and function during the early stages
of life. Only limited amounts can be manufactured within the body therefore they
must be derived from the diet or from supplementation.
Studies suggest that omega-3s may help to support normal mood and behaviour in
children, and may also play a role in learning. As well as their role in the
brain, omega-3s also help maintain normal eye function and may help support
healthy vision.
