How old do you have to be to take fish oil?

Answer 1

Most doctors agree that fish oil can be taken at any age, just in smaller amounts as years old. For example, they have fish oil for kids 7 and under in most pharmecutical stores, but I recommend 500 mg or less if adult fish oil pills in kids. Anything over 500 is save for adults. Or so I hear.

Many doctors recommend pregnant mothers take fish oil supplements especially in the second and third trimester. It is recommended that your child is at least one year old before taking fish oil supplement. Studies show that fish oil supports cognitive development. Children taking fish oil supplements have scored better test results than those who do not. Dosage differs with age so ask your family physician about the dosage for your child. If your child is over 12 years old, you may want to try Triple Strength Omega 3 which contains a pharmaceutical grade fish oil offer a purity of above 90 percent.
