There's simply no way I'd get that many pills down dd10. I could up her intake of flax seeds, walnuts, and similar. The reason we are trying the pills is b/c they are DHA not EPA, which is what she'd get from vegetarian food sources of O-3.

Do you know if that # changes at all depending on the size of the person? I'd imagine that a 200 lb adult would need more O-3 than a 55 lb child to see a result, but I could be wrong. I'm banking on dd's small size being a plus for us here wink !
