Question
At What Age Can Children Start Consuming Fish Oil?
Answer
Fish oil is abundant in omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, primarily DHA and EPA, which have the benefits of lowering cholesterol, preventing cardiovascular diseases, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis. It helps reduce blood pressure and fat levels, decrease blood viscosity, improve blood circulation, and alleviate fatigue. DHA and EPA are essential components of the brain, nerve cells, and the human immune system, offering benefits such as regulating blood lipids and improving memory. Child-specific fish oil is a lipid-soluble vitamin extracted from fish livers and can contribute to the health of the eyes and brain. It is recommended that children start consuming it after the age of two.
