NSI® Omega Fishies for Kids. Chewable children’s DHA supplement promotes healthy brain development and visual function. Fun-to-take, fish-shaped softgels! Natural fruit punch flavor. How Does NSI® Omega Fishies for Kids work? NSI® Omega Fishies for Kids is an easy-to-take, fruit flavored chewable supplement that provides 200 mg of docosahexaeonic acid (DHA) per each two-softgel serving. DHA is an omega-3 essential fatty acid that’s crucial to optimal brain and visual development throughout infancy and childhood. Naturally found in tissues throughout the body, DHA is a major structural component of cell membranes in the brain and retina of the eye. It’s especially concentrated in the area of the brain responsible for learning, memory and other complex thinking skills, and is a crucial component in the proper function of nerve cells in the eyes. During the first few years of life, the brain undergoes a rapid growth spurt, significantly increasing in mass and DHA content. Between birth and age five, the brain increases approximately 3.5 times in mass, with DHA content increasing up to 450%. To support this period of growth, it’s important that children consume adequate amounts of DHA to ensure that cells in the brain, retina, heart and other parts of the nervous system develop and function properly. . DHA is also a key component of the heart and is recommended by the American Heart Association as one of the omega-3 essential fatty acids that helps support cardiovascular health. DHA may help children maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure levels and overall blood vessel function. DHA can be obtained from food sources such as oily fish, organ meats and marine algae. Unfortunately, most children do not regularly consume these foods. Parents may also be reluctant to provide children with DHA-rich fresh fish due to potentially harmful levels of mercury and other contaminants. It’s estimated that up to 90% of children do not consume sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in their daily diets. NSI® Omega Fishies for Kids is an easy, ideal way to supplement your child’s diet with DHA. Naturally fruit flavored, kids will enjoy taking two fish-shaped softgels daily. They’ll receive 200 mg of DHA and 48 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid—another health-promoting omega-3 fatty acid) per serving. NSI® Omega Fishies for Kids features BioPureDHA™, a premium tuna oil sourced from an exclusive fish supply, isolated from traditional fishing areas in zones that are non-industrial (and therefore have fewer pollutants). BioPure™ DHA is manufactured using a proprietary cold-extraction process that creates naturally pure, DHA-rich fish oil. It undergoes special processing to produce mild, deodorized oil that retains a high DHA content. NSI® Omega Fishies for Kids is better because it:. • Provides an ideal 200 mg of pure, potent omega-3 DHA per each two-softgel serving. • Is a great value! One bottle supplies 60 servings—enough to supplement your child’s diet with an optimal amount of DHA for two months.

"The gelcaps are very chewy and difficult to disolve in the mouth or swallow. The oil is tasteless rather than orange and each cap has a very low amount of oil. My kids hate them, I tried them and I agree. Sadly I could not recommend this product whereas I am extremely happy with every other product I have bought from you and will remain a customer."

"My son refused to take these. The outer gel covering is rubbery and not very good tasting. The inside is distinctly the flavor of fish oil. I tasted one myself. The health benefits I am sure are there, but do no good if the child will not eat them."

"My 9-year old likes these. Yes, the skin is a little tough, but when you tell them to chew it like gum, then there's no issue. And the "pop" to open is not an issue. I tried them and couldn't really taste the "fishy" taste like other people have.
I only buy this brand because of the gurantee of where the fish oil is coming from. No junk and no synthetics here!"

"I received a sample of these DHA Fishies today with my order. I was really excited, and gave my 7-year old son 2 fishies. He put the first one in his mouth and his face changed into a horrible grimmace. He started gagging and spit it out. So, I decided to try the other one, and the outer skin is so tough that it's really hard to chew on, and when it burst open, it actually startled me when this oily fish-tasting substance squirted to the back of my throat. I was still left with the tough skin I couldn't chew through and spit it out. I started gagging too, and I really have a hard time believing that there are actually some good reviews on this product. My son and I were absolutely disgusted by it and we will definitely NEVER order this product."

"This is a fantastic product. I can't comment on the taste, because I have not tasted them myself, but my 3 yr. old loves them and asks for them every day. I have compared the ingredients to other products similar to this that you could give to a small child, and this one always seems to be the best. I will continue to purchase it and I highly recommend it."

"Hi, I was really excited to find a kids supplement that had such good levels of DHA, but then I actually tried one before giving to my kids. How are you supposed to eat these things? The outer yellow shell is like chewing a piece of rubber, and then when you finally bite thru it, this watery liquid quirts all of the place. Definitely NOT what I had hoped for."

"My little ones really like the flavor and the fun shape. We've tried many different DHA and EFA supplements and struggle with the flavor. My kids agree that these taste really good and don't have that annoying after-taste that happens so often with fish-oil supplements. They are soft and chewy, so easy for little ones to eat. The outer skin isn't too tough, which we've found with other similar supplements. Overall, this is a great DHA product for children."

"I have two little ones that are very picky eaters. However, they both love these fish and ask for more every time. I also have another product that isn't shaped like fish and one of my boys won't eat them. So I think the fish shape obviously has some pull. Personally I'd rather swallow a tablet, but for kids who can't swallow tablets, this is the next best thing."

"Well, I got a sample of this and I was eager to try it to see what a chewable softgel version would be like. You bite into it, and all the watery liquid inside pours down your throat. It tastes like watery fish, and then you are left with that thick, rubbery fish-shaped gel to chew on. It doesn't taste good, and I can't see kids liking these. I don't."

"I switched to this brand after my 2 yr old was used to Spectrum and he didnt like the hard fishie casing. Looking at the ingredients, they contain all the right 'stuff' - he just didnt like the larger chewable."
