Nordic NaturalsChildren’s DHA Xtra, Berry Punch - 2 oz for Kids - 880 mg Total Omega-3s with EPA & DHA - Cognitive & Immune Function, Learning, Social Development - Non-GMO - 48 Servings

*** updated: WOW! Okay, so, it took a few weeks. I’m guessing as the product ages and has contact with air, that’s when the fish smell really hits. Now we can’t escape it. Everything smells, the closet it was stored in, my son’s bedding, our dryer, anything it touches. We had to discontinue use. I’m still keeping my review at 5 stars because the product does its job.. (and people need to see the shift that happens with use) but you have to be able to deal with the forever fish smell.. so it’s a trade off. We couldn’t hack it. It’s been over two weeks without it and I’m not sure the fish smell will ever go away on his blanket.Original review: I noticed some of the reviews were for other products so I wanted to note that this review is for the “ Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA Xtra, Berry Punch - 2 oz for Kids”.I almost did not purchase this product because people spoke of fishy tastes and smells and my son has high needs with autism and is very sensitive to foods with a very small food repertoire (which is why we need the fish oil).I just don’t smell it. And I don’t taste it either. To me, it tastes like pineapples. Right now we are at a .75 ml dose (we always start low and move up) and we give it to him mixed in a spoonful of applesauce. I always try his meds first (if supplements) and I was super nervous about gagging between the texture and anticipated taste.. and honestly, I thought it was good. So, I gave it to him and I could tell he was surprised by the texture change (compared to his other applesauce meds) but he licked the spoon after. He’s taken it without issue for 3 days now. I make sure I wipe his mouth after incase I’m just not smelling the fish… but even my husband said he can’t smell it. Personally, I have a very strong sense of smell. I get nauseated easily. So, I was very nervous about how this would all go.. but I don’t know.. maybe those with really smelly ones just got a bad batch?I can’t speak to any effects yet as far as mood/focus/speech etc. Our son is vocal non-verbal and uses and AAC device (age 11). That’s not why we started this supplement though.. we just felt like he wasn’t getting enough omega 3 with his limited diet. I only learned of these other possible outcomes when reading reviews. We use a total communication approach with him to help meet his wants and needs and aren’t looking for any miracles, we just want our boy to be healthy and omega 3 is so good for you!I’ll update if we see any mood changes etc., but I just wanted to put it out there that I’m just not smelling any fish.. at all. (If that changes I’ll update too!!)

Great product. My 7 year old boy love the taste and he is a really picky eater.

This has really helped with my son’s behaviour. He has improved so much and can't wait to see more improvement.

My son was experiencing many delays in speech and cognitive/executive functioning- I did A LOT of research and decided to start him on a DHA/Omega, in a addition to Inulin and Olive Oil. This has really helped my son's progress with speech and executive functioning. I mix with a little bit of orange juice and he has no issue taking this nightly. I have not experienced the fishy smell, however I do refrigerate even though its not required. You will not see results overnight, it takes time. He has been taking this daily for 6 months and the progress was very noticeable 3 months in.

I typically don’t write reviews but wanted to share how I get my 4yo to take this fish oil without a problem. I first want to mention that when my child was younger than 2yrs, like most kids, it was very hard to get her to take fish oil. I would mix it with food, but it was still hard to hide the taste. Now at 4, I decided to try it again with this product. I chose this product because I like the ingredients, have purchased this brand in the past and I’m satisfied with the quality. A few of the reviews mention how this has helped their child with developmental delays, though she doesn’t have delays, I was convinced that it would be beneficial to her too. She’s also a picky eater and felt supplements was the way to go. Well, the first day, she made sure to let me know “I don’t like that, it doesn’t taste good”, but I’ve been giving this fish oil to her for a few days now and she’s been able to take it without complaining. Don’t expect this to taste sweet or anything other than fish oil, it’s fish oil and that’s what it taste like. This one has a subtle fruity after taste but it doesn’t taste bad, it actually tastes fresh, better than other fish oils I’ve tried, which in my opinion makes it easier to swallow with no fishy aftertaste. I think the quality of this fish oil makes the difference in flavor. I mix this fish oil with the Child Life Liquid Multivitamin which has an orange mango flavor, she likes it and I think it mixes well. I’m not sure she realizes I mix it. I also store them in the fridge. My 4 yo doesn’t complain at all. I would recommend a good liquid multivitamin with a taste your child likes as a way to mix fish oil.

This product helped my baby speak a little more and develop more.

I have heard good reviews about this product on Facebook groups like speech delays, Autism groups, like how this fish oil helped their little one with speech.So we decided to give it a try for our son. We ordered Nordic DHA fish oil in the month of nov 2022. Within a month dec 2022 his bday month ,he turned 2yrs old. He stated saying words,A to Z,1 to 10, Shapes , Colors ,animals names and much more. And also we have seen changes in his behavior like less frustration , screaming , tantrums ,eye contact improved, joint attention,started focusing,listening instructions, independent play. Along with it, I have spend a lot of time playing , repeating and teaching my little one.I can’t say enough.I swear ,this is my honest and personal experience with my little one. I highly recommend NORDIC DHA FISH OIL 880mg to all of those facing such problems. Its little pricey though but I think it’s a magical product.
