Hello!

Warm greetings to you all from sunny Thailand! This is my first post here so Hi to you all.
This forum looks like what I have been looking for and I've already seen some really helpful info.

I won't bore you with my life tales, but suffice it to say that I have been Veggie a while but have tried hard not to force my dietary preferences on my child-however difficult that sometimes is!

She is now 5yrs old and I was wondering if anyone out there knows if it is ok to give her flaxseed oil capsules and if so, how many mg I should start her with??
I use Vertese 500mg capsules, but it states not to give them to children under 12. Why would this be when generations have poured cod-liver oil down youngsters throats?? Opinions gladly welcommed.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours kindly,

Charlie.

Charlie,

No answers, but your comment certainly brought back memories of some of the home remedies my mom tried - including the cod liver oil. That stuff was not pleasant.

Hi! Welcome to Veg Family!

Maybe there is something specific about that brand? Probably a much easier way is to buy liquid flaxseed oil (refrigerated) and add it to things like soup, smoothies, cereal, salad, etc.
