Minami EPA+DHA liquid kids + vitamin D3Highly dosed 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 a real challenge to ensure that children take their fish oil capsules daily or to open 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 its 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 adding a natural orange and berry flavour. In addition, the omega 3 fatty acids in this product are exclusively in triglyceride form, so that the fatty acids are optimally absorbed.
Triglyceride form 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 long-term absorption of EPA and DHA in the form of triglycerides with ethyl esters (another common form of EPA and DHA in fish oil preparations), the triglyceride form proved to be even better absorbed.
Vitamin D3
EPA + DHA Liquid Kids also contains vitamin D3. Not too much, so that the product can still be used well 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 quantities in food, and moreover, the sun in the Netherlands often does not shine sufficiently. Therefore, a vitamin D supplement (in the superior form of D3) is definitely recommended for many adults and children. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system of 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 found each other through a shared ambition to offer nutritional supplements of the highest purity and quality. The basis of every Minami product consists of high-quality omega 3 fatty acids (from fish oil or from algae). Minami uses a patented environmentally friendly production method for this (supercritical CO2 extraction). This achieves very high doses of omega 3 and unsurpassed purity. Supercritical CO2 extraction takes place at lower temperatures. This is of great importance for maintaining the beneficial properties of the delicate unsaturated omega 3 fatty acids. In addition, no chemical solvents are used in CO2 extraction, which could otherwise remain in the oil. Minami's products are known for their exceptionally high quality and purity. The purity is analysed by external laboratories for each production batch. Especially with fish oil, this care is very important, because fish can unfortunately contain contaminants nowadays due to pollution of seawater.
