What is the difference between this product and the Carlson's Fish Oil for Kids?
886957
If you go to the Carlson Labs website it describes that the children fish oil 'has 800 mg of Omega -3 Fatty Acids per each 1/2 teaspoonful' and that is Vitamin A & D free. The Carlson oil I use (adults) states it has 1,600 mg of Omega per teaspoon . . . And has Vit E. I have a 7 year old boy and I give him half a teaspoon/day. I don't think that there is much difference but it might be worth for you to contact Carlson directly. Good luck!

Carlson's Norwegian Cod Liver Oil contains 1,100 mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Of this, 500 mg. is DHA and 400 mg. is EPA. Many sources recommend 1 gram (1,000 mg) of EPA/DHA for maintenance, and this comes very close to what is contained in the 1 tsp. recommended dose. The air inside the bottle is replaced with nitrogen to keep it from becoming rancid before opening. They also add "a natural source" of Vitamin E to retard spoilage. Even though directions say to refrigerate after opening, I personally refrigerate it at all times. If you have a specific condition for which you want to take more than one gram of EPA/DHA, this this brand of Cod Liver Oil (which has 850 IU of Vitamin A) will not cause you to get too much Vitamin A. It contains 17% of the daily requirement in 1 tsp. I believe this is true of their fish oil as well. It is regularly tested for purity and freedom from detrimental levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB's and 28 other contaminants by an independent FDA registered laboratory.

I've never used Carlson but I can't imagine it is much better than this. You can't beat the price on this and the high reviews. If you're looking for quality fish oil this is it. Also this doesn't taste bad or smell fishy.

There is no difference. Carlson just adds the "super" for the sake of marketing their product.

The minimum age is probably two, but I only order them for my husband and myself and give my 3 year old the Carlson's Lemon or Orange flavored fish oil. The reason behind that is that the gummy fish are quite sweet (and quite big.) They contain some sugars and they're not neccessarily something I want my three year old to have everyday, because it's basically like a gummy candy. He's never had an issue with the oil (which I find repugnant),so why not just give it to him in the purest form without the additives, gelatin and extra sugar, etc...? For adults though, I'd say they're great-- if one can't stand the oil itself.

I don't know but it seems to help me ? I don't see why you could not use for kids it is just an oil as long as you don't use it internally?

As far as I know they are the same. I have both. One that I bought a few years ago and one that I bought in the last year. The problem I'm having with the newer one is that they made the rubber a lot thicker and less flexible so it doesn't stick to the table. The suction cups don't work. The one I bought recently is basically useless b/c it doesn't stick to the table and my toddler keeps pulling it off and putting it on her head. My sister just bought the same one and she's having the same problem. I'm thinking they must've tried to "improve" their product by making the rubber thicker but in fact did the opposite and now it is worse.

I have not tried Carlson's personally, but this fish oil doesn't taste bad at all in my opinion. It is high quality, so you don't need to take multiple tablespoons full to get your daily dose.

Krill oil has Omega 3 but is not from fish. It does not leave you with a fishy taste in your mouth. Good stuff!

The only way I see these drops as "better" is that the oil added is pure coconut oil (as opposed to a combo of coconut & palm which is in the Carlson drops). Personally, I believe coconut to be an healthier option.

Most children can take fish oil at 2, but check with your doctor about dosage.

I do not know about the difference, but this booster is great. My hranddaughter is a big one year old and it is terrific. It is easy to attach and easy to take to other places. We will take the tray off and use it directly at the table soon. She loves it. It is also very easy to clean.

Sorry I don't know. The bottle says "No fish oil" and "..while avoiding risk of ocean-borne contaminants sometimes found in fish oils."

To answer your question on omega-3 forms...not sustainability....the omega-3s in krill oil are bound by phospholipids, which are thought to be somewhat better absorbed by our bodies than the triglyceride bonding in fish oils. But the thing is, the amount of omega-3 in krill oil is very minor compared to fish oils. Plus, there are solvents left over in the krill oil from extraction. Fish oil has no left over solvents. If you are looking for high amounts of omega-3, go with fish oil. If you want to pay excessive amounts of money for the same omega-3s in krill, go ahead. I choose the fish oil. :) And for sustainability, they say that krill are more sustainable than fish, but only time will tell. Again, it takes a LOT more krill to make any omega-3s in any quantity compared to fish. Personally, I think krill is turning out to be over rated. But to each his/her own.

Yes. Carlson is the best of all the Omega 3 fish oil products. Their Liquid Omega 3 in the glass bottle is even better!!
