How to Choose the Right Fish Oil for Your Child’s Needs

As parents, we want nothing but the best for our children, especially when it comes to their health. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, are vital during the early years of development, helping to support brain, eye, and overall growth. Phatma®’s children’s fish oil is thoughtfully designed to meet these needs, combining high-quality ingredients with a kid-friendly approach that ensures safety, effectiveness, and a great experience.

1. Why DHA Is Essential for Children

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is one of the most important omega-3 fatty acids for children. It plays a crucial role in brain development, cognitive function, and visual health. During the early years, DHA accumulates in the brain and retina, making it a must-have for supporting learning, focus, and clear vision.Phatma®’s children’s fish oil features a high-DHA formulation, with omega-3s making up over 95% of the total polyunsaturated fatty acids. This ensures your child gets the maximum benefit with every dose.

2. Why Phatma® Includes Sharp-PS® and Lutemax 2020®

®Phatma® goes beyond just omega-3s by adding two clinically proven, branded ingredients— Sharp-PS® Phosphatidylserine and Lutemax 2020®. These are not just buzzwords; they’re carefully selected for their scientifically backed benefits for children.

Sharp-PS® Phosphatidylserine (40mg per two capsules)

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural component of brain cell membranes, essential for cognitive health. Sharp-PS®, a trusted and highly purified source, is clinically shown to support attention span, memory, and learning abilities. It has even been studied for its potential to improve symptoms in children with attention-related challenges, like ADHD.

  • Why It Matters for Kids: Sharp-PS® provides targeted support for brain health, complementing DHA’s role in cognitive development. Even at the lower dose in Phatma®’s formulation, it delivers noticeable benefits for growing minds.

Lutemax 2020® (30mg per two capsules)

Lutemax 2020® is a natural blend of lutein (6mg) and zeaxanthin (1.2mg), two powerful carotenoids that protect the eyes from blue light damage. In today’s screen-heavy world, these ingredients are more important than ever for safeguarding children’s vision.

  • Why It Matters for Kids: By supporting visual performance and reducing digital eye strain, Lutemax 2020® plays a crucial role in protecting your child’s long-term eye health. Its antioxidant properties also help growing bodies combat harmful oxidative stress.

3. Safe Omega-3 Dosing for Children

The recommended safe daily intake of total omega-3s for children varies by age, as outlined by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) in the United States and similar expert guidelines:

• 4–8 years: 900 mg/day

• 9–13 years: 1200 mg/day (boys), 1000 mg/day (girls)

Phatma®’s formulation provides 700 mg of omega-3s per two capsules, including 560 mg of DHA, 90 mg of EPA, and 20 mg of DPA. This is well within the safe range and specifically designed to support children’s growth and development.

4. A Taste Kids Will Love

Getting children to take supplements can be a challenge, but not with Phatma®. Using a unique natural flavoring formula, the fish oil is completely free of the unpleasant taste or smell typically associated with omega-3 products. This makes it not just tolerable but enjoyable for kids, ensuring consistent daily supplementation without a fight.

5. A Commitment to Quality and Safety

Phatma® leaves no stone unturned in its commitment to quality:

  • Ultra-Pure Omega-3s: With over 95% omega-3 content, our fish oil is one of the purest available, offering exceptional potency and effectiveness.
