Kidoben Omega 3 Plus – 120 Gummies (Value Pack)
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Intro: The 120-gummy pack of Kidoben (by International Health Fix) is the most cost-effective way to maintain a child's Omega-3 levels over a long period. This "Value Pack" provides high concentrations of DHA and EPA—essential fatty acids that act as "building blocks" for the central nervous system. Using a vegetarian, pectin-based formula with natural fruit flavors, it eliminates the "fishy" odor and taste that often lead to children refusing fish oil supplements.
Indications:
Long-term Cognitive Support: Consistent intake of DHA is linked to improved school performance, literacy, and behavioral regulation.
Neuro-Development: Essential for the structural growth of brain cells and the myelination of nerve fibers.
Eye Health: Supports the high DHA requirements of the retina for maintaining sharp vision in children.
Chronic Anti-Inflammatory Support: Helps manage inflammation related to childhood allergies or skin conditions like eczema.
Metabolic Health: Supports healthy blood lipid levels even in childhood.
How to Use:
Dosage (Children 3+ years): 2 to 3 gummies daily.
Consistency: With 120 gummies, a single child has a 40 to 60-day supply. Consistent daily intake is crucial because Omega-3 fatty acids accumulate in the brain and eyes over time.
Timing: Best taken with a meal (e.g., after breakfast) to improve the absorption of the essential oils.
Crucial Rules:
Lid Security: Because the bottle stays in use for up to two months, ensure the child-resistant cap is tightly closed to keep the gummies soft and prevent the oils from oxidizing.
Temperature Sensitivity: Must be stored below 25°C. If the bottle is exposed to heat, the gummies can melt into a single mass, and the quality of the fish oil may degrade.
Pectin Advantage: Being gelatin-free (made with Pectin), these gummies do not stick to dental work or braces as much as gelatin-based ones do.
Safety: Even though the pack is large, it must be kept out of children's reach to prevent accidental overconsumption of the fat-soluble vitamins often paired with Omega-3.
