(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Dartmouth, Nova Scotia – Increasing research has shown that essential fatty acids (EFAs) like EPA, DHA and GLA play an important role in children’s development, but many kids and moms avoid them due to fishy taste or questions of purity. Ascenta, with their new NutraSea Kids supplement, combines the EFAs kids need with the great Very Berry taste they want, and the Pure Check moms feel good about.
“Essential fatty acids and vitamin D are critically important for kids’ development, but they need to enjoy taking them as this will guarantee compliance,” says Marc St-Onge, president of Ascenta. “NutraSea Kids has a Very Berry flavor kids love. And, because it is a liquid supplement it can be added to smoothies, milkshakes, yogurt and other kids’ favorites avoiding softgels and capsules altogether.”
NutraSea Kids is rich in important EPA and DHA omega-3 essential fatty acids, the good fats that are essential for optimal health, along with GLA omega-6 fatty acid which, when combined with EPA, plays a crucial role in early childhood development1. Research has shown omega-3 and -6 to be beneficial for brain function, concentration and behavior2 in children.
NutraSea Kids also contains an optimal dose of vitamin D3, which has been shown to help the body absorb calcium, important for growing children as it helps build strong bones3. The main source of vitamin D is sunlight, so many people, including children, are deficient in vitamin D4, even during the summer months, due to the limited sun exposure and use of sunscreen.
“Just one teaspoon of NutraSea Kids will provide children with the omega-3 and the vitamin D they need to stay healthy,” continues St. Onge. “Moms feel good knowing they are giving their children the best product available because they can check independent test results for each lot on the Ascenta website.”
Just one daily teaspoon (5ml) of NutraSea Kids provides 560 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, with 320 mg EPA, 200 mg DHA and 50 mg of GLA along with 500 IU of vitamin D. It is recommended for children aged 2-13. NutraSea Kids contains only natural ingredients and omega-3 and -6 sourced from certified sustainable species. NutraSea Kids uses a unique green tea antioxidant to protect against oxidation and retain its great taste through the entire shelf life.
NutraSea provides unique transparency. Each lot of product is third party tested and the quality tests results are posted online, something that no other omega-3 fish oil supplement manufacturer offers. The Pure Check logo featured on all NutraSea products guarantees that they have been independently tested and certified for quality, purity and label claims. This rigorous test checks for contaminants including mercury, dioxins and PCBs among others. To provide total reassurance to consumers and show that every NutraSea product is pure and of the highest quality, Ascenta posts the third party quality test results for each lot online for consumers to see. By simply entering the lot number on the bottle on the company’s website www.ascentahealth.com, consumers can experience the transparency for themselves and see exactly what they are getting in each bottle.
