The consumption of fatty fish and fish oil supplements has become a point of entry for POPs to enter the human body, which in turn exposes our bodies to toxic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCs). PCBs specifically have been shown to disrupt endocrine and cognitive development in children. Stonehouse W.

Those with a fish or shellfish allergy: Allergic reactions can be serious. If your child is allergic to fish or shellfish, talk to a healthcare provider about the best supplementation option.When reading the label on omega-3 supplements, look for DHA and EPA on the ingredient list. Fish oil comes in a number of forms including ethyl esters (EE), triglycerides (TG), reformed triglycerides (rTG), free fatty acids (FFA) and phospholipids (PL). It has been found that the ethyl ester form is not as well absorbed as other forms, so choosing other forms is recommended. Ingredients & Potential Interactions

Unfortunately, experts have not established recommended amounts for omega-3 fatty acids, except for ALA. In the United States, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has outlined average daily recommendations for ALA for all ages and genders. Those taking anticoagulant medications: Omega-3 supplements may interact with anticoagulant medications such as warfarin, heparin or other direct thrombin inhibitors. If your child is on such medications, speak with your child’s healthcare provider about possible interactions and increased bleeding risk. How We Select Supplements Given their importance for cellular and developmental health, a number of health organizations provide recommendations for daily omega-3 fatty acid intake. 14 These recommendations tend to vary by organization, but typically suggest that adults receive a minimum of 500 mg of EPA+DHA a day, and children receive 150 to 250 mg of EPA and DHA a day. 14 However, these recommendations are based on clinical trials using conservative amounts, when more recent research indicates that doses as high as 5000 mg are well tolerated by children and adults, and more effective for increasing omega-3 status than smaller doses. 6 , 15 , 16 Children with asthma or family history of asthma: Research has shown positive evidence with early introduction of fish (between 6-9 months of age) in addition to regular fish consumption (at least 1 time per week), as the child grows in the reduction of asthma symptoms. While these studies looked at fish consumption, it may be worth asking a pediatric healthcare provider about a fish oil supplement for children with asthma who do not regularly consume fish.

However, most children are not coming close to that suggested quantity,” says Manaker. Because of this challenge in having your children meet the guidelines, you may be interested in having them start taking a fish oil supplement. Omega-3 supplements may interact with anticoagulant medications. If your child is on such medication, be sure to speak with a healthcare provider about possible interactions before starting.
