I am at the moment giving my daughter Omega 3 in the liquid form. I am using Tyler Eskimo 3 (will be changing to Dr. Sears once she has finnished the three bottles we have left). One teaspoon is EPA 750mg and DHA 500mg. My daughter has one teaspoon a day. Is this too much for a 5 year old or would it be ok? My wife and I are currently taking 6 caps of Dr. Sears a day divided in 2 cap doses. Also my parents are taking it. I have to say it is an amazing product! Any advice re my daughters dosages would be GREAT. Thanks

[/quote:b9907ee6f3] When you make the switch, one thing to keep in mind is that a teaspoon of OmegaRX will have 1800EPA and 900DHA for a total of 2.7g of long-chain omega-3 per tsp--its twice as concentrated as Tyler.

[/quote:b9907ee6f3] We give our kids roughly 1/3 tsp of OmegaRX which would be roughly 900mg (600EPA/300DHA)--not too far from your amounts--but they currently don't take it everyday. I'll see if I can do a search on this site.

Just dont want to over do it with the omega 3, but at the same time dont want to under do it either. cheers!!

For some reason I am not getting any hits on the search for what seems to be a pretty straightforward question. I'll try again and also check the OmegaRx book.

Sorry Iceman-thanks for the reminder! :oops: The search feature is not working so I reviewed the last two years of Ask DrSears. Here are a couple links: The first link (more recent) recommends 1 tsp (2.7g) The next link 1-2g (which is about 1/3 tsp to 3/4tsp.) http://www.drsears.com/drsearspages...earsID=807 http://www.drsears.com/drsearspages...earsID=671

Thanks!!!
