Minami EPA+DHA liquid kids + vitamin D3High-dose liquid fish oil supplement for children
The omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are essential for the health of both adults and children. However, it can be quite a challenge to ensure that children take their fish oil capsules daily or to have to open the capsules for very young children. There is now a solution in the form of EPA + DHA Liquid Kids, from fish oil specialist Minami. This product consists of liquid fish oil with a unique high dosage of EPA and DHA, supplemented with vitamin D3. Due to the liquid form and the included measuring spoon, it is easy to dose and easy for children to take. Furthermore, a pleasant taste has been ensured by the addition of a natural orange and berry flavor. Moreover, the omega 3 fatty acids in this product are exclusively in triglyceride form, so that the fatty acids are optimally absorbable.
Triglyceride form is even better absorbed
EPA + DHA Liquid Kids contains omega 3 fatty acids in the form of so-called re-esterified triglycerides (also referred to as rTG). In a study comparing the absorption of EPA and DHA in the form of triglycerides over the long term with ethyl esters (another common form of EPA and DHA in fish oil preparations), it was found that the triglyceride form is absorbed even better.
Vitamin D3
EPA + DHA Liquid Kids also contains vitamin D3. Not too much so that the product can still be used alongside a multivitamin for children. Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin. It is produced in the skin under the influence of sunlight. Unfortunately, vitamin D is only found in limited amounts in food, and moreover, the sun often does not shine sufficiently in the Netherlands. Therefore, a vitamin D supplement (in the superior form of D3) is certainly recommended for many adults and children. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system in children and is necessary for normal growth and development of children's bones.
Minami
Minami is an international fish oil brand distributed in the Netherlands by Vitals. Minami and Vitals have come together through a shared ambition to offer dietary supplements of the highest purity and quality. The foundation of each Minami product consists of high-quality omega 3 fatty acids (from fish oil or from algae). Minami uses a patented environmentally friendly production method (supercritical CO2 extraction) for this purpose. This achieves very high dosages of omega 3 and an unmatched purity. Supercritical CO2 extraction takes place at lower temperatures. This is crucial for preserving the beneficial properties of the delicate unsaturated omega 3 fatty acids. Additionally, no chemical solvents are used in CO2 extraction, which could otherwise remain in the oil. Minami products are known for their exceptionally high quality and purity. The purity is analyzed by external laboratories during each production. Especially with fish oil, this care is very important, as fish can unfortunately contain contaminants due to pollution of seawater.
