Does your child need an omega-3 supplement?

• Food first: the NHS advises at least two portions of fish a week, one of them oily, such as salmon, sardines or mackerel.
• Why DHA: Harvard says a growing child needs a steady supply of DHA to form the brain and nervous system.
• Focus and ADHD: a 2023 Cochrane review (37 trials) found with high certainty that omega-3 did not change parent-rated ADHD symptoms.
• Autism: the US NCCIH says research so far suggests no benefit.

From fish oil (with DHA)

These three are made from fish oil; the difference is the form: gummies, sachets or chewables. For more on fish oil, see fish oil in Egypt: benefits and dosage.

From flaxseed oil (plant-based)

Flaxseed oil provides a type of omega-3 called ALA. Harvard says the body can make EPA and DHA from it, but the conversion may not be efficient enough.

#4

Flaxseed oilWith vitamins

Gelon Omega-3 Gummies – 60 Gummies

The cheapest pick, but the omega-3 is plant-based

EGP 245

EGP 4.1 per gummy · 60 gummies

• The pack: omega-3 from flaxseed oil, with vitamins E, C and D
• The page: one or two gummies a day after meals, with adult supervision
• 60 gummies for EGP 245, 120 for EGP 499

Heads-up: Flaxseed oil gives ALA, not DHA, and Harvard says the body may not convert it well; the omega-3 amount is not on the page

What does it cost?

How to give it

• Dose by age: it is on the pack, not on every product page; for young children ask a paediatrician.
• With food: as the NOW, Gelon and OmegaFit pages say.
• One product only: do not combine gummies and sachets, or add a multi with omega-3, without asking a pharmacist.
• Gummies are not sweets: keep them out of reach; the Gelon page says to give them with adult supervision.

The bottom line

Start with fish twice a week. If your child will not eat it, pick a fish-oil supplement in a form they accept: Grupa gummies, OmegaFit sachets or NOW chewables, at the dose for their age on the pack. Do not expect omega-3 to treat ADHD.
