Nutrition Information

Soy milk is rich in nutrients, which can not only lower cholesterol but also help with weight loss, boost immunity, and prevent constipation. Many parents prepare soy milk for their children in the morning. However, some parents worry that drinking soy milk may cause precocious puberty in their children. So, is it safe for children to drink soy milk? A nutritionist will debunk these myths and explain the seven major benefits of drinking soy milk, as well as some points to note. Soy milk can lower cholesterol because it contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The iron content is about 25 times that of milk. Calcium is an important element for cell metabolism and, together with vitamin D , helps bone growth and increases athletic performance. 7 benefits of soy milk Benefit 1 of soy milk : Lowering cholesterol levels Soy milk is also rich in a variety of beneficial substances such as unsaturated fatty acids, soy saponins, flavonoids, and lecithin. Among them, phytosterols can lower cholesterol levels. Benefits of Soy Milk 2 : Maintaining Weight and Preventing Cardiovascular Disease Protein can lower the glycemic index of food, helping children maintain their weight and preventing cardiovascular disease. Benefit 3 of soy milk : Boosts immunity Soy milk contains soy saponins, which can boost the body's immunity. Soy milk benefit 4 : Boosts immunity It contains abundant vitamins B and E , which can help boost the body's immunity, protect the nervous system, and assist in muscle growth, thus benefiting children's development. 5 Benefits of Soy Milk | Improves Digestion Soy milk's dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. Benefit 6 of Soy Milk : Helps with Weight Loss Soy protein is a high-quality protein that takes a long time to digest, helping to provide a feeling of fullness, reduce food intake, and achieve weight loss. Benefit 7 of Soy Milk : Increased Exercise Performance Carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source during exercise. Sweetened soy milk can help children generate energy, but sometimes bread can achieve the same effect. Alternatively, a small piece of chocolate with soy milk is also a good supplement for children after exercise. Does drinking soy milk cause precocious puberty and affect adolescence in children? Soy milk will not cause precocious puberty; on the contrary, it can increase protein intake. Furthermore, soy milk is made from cooked soybeans and contains soy protein and fiber. One 114 ml cup of soy milk contains approximately 40 calories and 3 to 4 grams of protein. In addition, soy milk also contains minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium. A cup of hot soy milk daily is very beneficial for children, aiding in development and maintaining weight. Parents can prepare a cup of unsweetened soy milk for their children in the morning or a cup of matcha soy milk in the afternoon, which has a synergistic effect in providing nutrition and building muscle. At the same time, parents can choose high-quality vitamin D supplements for their children to help with the absorption of calcium from soy milk, supporting growth. Be aware of whether your child has a bean allergy. Soy milk is not suitable for infants under 1 year old. Unlike soy milk, breast milk and formula contain all the nutrients an infant needs. Children can drink 200-250 ml of soy milk daily (half a cup to one cup). Parents should be aware of any soy allergies in their children, so start with 1/4 to half a cup. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately. We select WHC UnoCardio® CHEWY  and QuattrO3+PS , each batch of which has received IFOS 5- star certification.

It is all-natural and can be taken long-term.

Studies show that the number of people using ADHD medications continues to rise. A study from Oxford University in the UK shows that the proportion of people using medication for ADHD has risen sharply in several European countries within 13 years , with the overall increase in the UK exceeding three times, and the increase in usage among British women aged 25 and over reaching 20 times. The relevant research results will be published in the journal "The Lancet" in 2026 . An Oxford University team analyzed health records from Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom regarding the use of hyperactivity disorder medications in individuals aged 3 and older. The medications studied included methylphenidate , dexamphetamine , lisdexamfetamine , atomoxetine , and guanfacine . The study found that the prevalence of related drugs increased in all five countries from 2010 to 2023. The UK saw the most significant relative increase across all age groups, rising from 0.12% to 0.39% ; the Netherlands also saw its prevalence more than double , increasing from 0.67% to 1.56% . The number of people using ADHD medications continues to rise, with the most significant shift occurring among adults, particularly women. She believes this reflects increased societal awareness and diagnosis of ADHD in adults, while also raising concerns about long-term treatment models and care needs. Globally, approximately 8% of children and adolescents and 3% of adults suffer from ADHD . However, the current medication usage rate is still lower than the estimated prevalence, indicating that a large number of patients are not receiving drug treatment. People can still reduce ADHD symptoms through natural nutritional supplements .   A nutritionist teaches you how to eat your way to a better mood with natural nutrients. To relax, eat more foods rich in tryptophan, Omega-3 , magnesium, B vitamins , and probiotics, such as bananas, deep-sea fish, yogurt, nuts, oats, and dark chocolate. These foods can help synthesize serotonin, stabilize blood sugar, and relieve stress. Bananas, eggs, milk, turkey, and soy products : are rich in tryptophan, an important raw material for producing the happy hormone serotonin. Nuts ( walnuts, pumpkin seeds ) : provide magnesium, which has a natural calming effect on the nervous system. Deep-sea fish ( salmon, mackerel ) : rich in Omega-3 , which helps reduce depression. High-purity EPA fish oil : It has significant anti-inflammatory and neurotransmitter-regulating effects. Studies have shown that daily intake of 1000-2000 mg or more of EPA for 8-12 weeks can effectively improve mild to moderate depression, anxiety and stabilize mood. It is a natural antidepressant supplement.  Therefore, adults with ADHD can take WHC UnoCardio®1000 Fish Oil or WHC UnoCardio® EPA, which contains high-purity EPA to soothe emotions. . For children, WHC QuattrO3+PS  is recommended . It contains 90% pure Omega-3 in rTG form for easier absorption. The EPA : DHA ratio is 3 : 2 as recommended by experts . It contains 10% GLA (gamma - linolenic acid) extracted from evening primrose oil to help children build their own immune system. It also contains 40mg of phosphatidylserine ( Sharp PS ) to help maintain children's cell membrane health and concentration, and 400IU of vitamin D3 to increase bone density.   References : 1.       The global prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents: an umbrella review of meta-analyses J Affect Disord. 2023; 339:860-866   2.       Ayano, G. ∙ Tsegay, L. ∙ Gizachew, Y. ∙ et al.

Many parents are concerned about the aftereffects of COVID-19, so it is very important to understand the Med diet. It combines two diets and emphasizes natural, plant-based foods, especially berries and leafy green vegetables, while limiting the intake of animal foods and foods high in saturated fat to maintain good health. 10 Brain-Boosting Foods The MedD diet includes 10 brain-boosting foods (leafy greens, other vegetables, nuts, berries, legumes, whole grains, fish, poultry, and olive oil) and 5 unhealthy foods to avoid (red meat, butter and margarine, pastries and desserts, fried and fast foods). While it was previously used primarily for the elderly, in recent years it has been used to boost antioxidant capacity. The Med diet, also known as the "mind diet," combines the characteristics of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet. The main feature of the Med diet is its emphasis on consuming whole foods, including at least three servings of whole grains per day. Eat more white meat and vegetables When cooking, olive oil is the main oil used. It is recommended to eat more white meat such as fish, poultry and seafood such as shrimp, at least twice a week. For vegetables, it is recommended to eat plenty of leafy green vegetables, which are rich in folic acid, carotenoids, vitamin E and other nutrients, and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Eat more nuts and berries. The MedSci diet places great emphasis on nuts, which are incredibly nutritious, with notable components including healthy fats, dietary fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Almonds, cashews, walnuts, pine nuts, and macadamia nuts are all excellent choices. For fruits, berries are recommended due to their high anthocyanin content and antioxidant properties. Another characteristic of the Med 'n' Roll diet is the reduction of red meat, butter, and dessert intake. Numerous international studies have shown that higher adherence to the Med 'n' Roll diet is more beneficial for brain health and increased antioxidant capacity!  MedD diet menu breakfast : 1 serving of fried cashews 1 cup of vegetable juice 1 slice of whole wheat toast  Lunch : 1 salmon whole wheat sandwich (Includes carrots and celery) 1 serving of hummus  dinner : 1 serving of curry chicken 1 serving of brown rice  MedSci diet combined with beneficial fish oil helps boost children's immunity. While using the MedD diet, parents can choose WHC Little Superman and Little Elf fish oil for their children. Each batch is IFOS 5- star certified, with a high content of Omega-3 , promoting children's eye and brain development, enhancing memory, and strengthening cognitive and comprehension abilities ; the rTG form of fish oil achieves 4 times higher absorption efficiency, and is fortified with the daily required amount of Vitamin D3 , an important substance for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, promoting calcium absorption, and improving immunity ; enough to help children grow taller and is suitable for children over three years old.

As children grow, they need different nutrients to build strong bones and a healthy body. As children get older, their ability to store calcium in their bones gradually decreases. Insufficient calcium intake during early childhood can affect bone strength later in life and even lead to osteoporosis. Nutritionists recommend five of the best calcium-rich foods to help children get enough calcium during this crucial period. Functions of calcium Calcium is responsible for muscle function, nerve transmission, and hormone secretion, but these functions account for less than 1% of the total calcium in the human body ; the other 99% is found in bones and teeth, which help to enhance strength and structure. Calcium intake at different ages Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and needs to be replenished regularly. The recommended intake is 200 mg for infants; 260 mg for infants aged 7 to 12 months ; 700 mg for children aged 1 to 3 years ; 1,000 mg for children aged 4 to 8 years ; and 1,300 mg daily for adolescents aged 1 to 18 years (to promote growth during puberty). There are many calcium-rich foods, so children do not need to take high doses of calcium supplements (such as 1,000 mg per day) to supplement calcium. Depending on the child's age and dietary calcium intake, 200-500 mg of calcium per day is sufficient, and calcium intake should all come from the child's daily diet.  Calcium storage during golden period As we age, the body loses its ability to store calcium in bones. When children enter early adulthood, their bones reach peak bone density, and the body primarily draws calcium from the stores in their bones. The body's need for calcium peaks between the ages of 9 and 18 ; insufficient calcium intake during this period can affect bone strength later in life, potentially leading to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones so brittle that they can break under the pressure of bending over. 5 Best Foods to Eat Best calcium-rich foods #1 : Dairy products  Milk, cheese, and other dairy products are rich in calcium and are often the best sources for calcium absorption. Skim cheese has the highest calcium content, followed by skim milk and low-fat cheeses such as Cheddar . However, the absorption rate of calcium from cheese is inhibited by its phosphorus content, so it's important to consider the type of natural cheese when choosing it. Natural cheese contains organic phosphorus, which has a lower absorption rate than the inorganic phosphorus added to processed cheese. Therefore, if you are concerned about phosphorus levels, it's better to eat natural cheese. How can parents tell if the cheese sold in the supermarket is natural or processed? Besides checking the English label for " Processed cheese" or "Natural cheese ," you can directly check the ingredients. If it lists a long list of additives, it's very likely processed cheese, while cheese with few ingredients is mostly natural cheese. Everyone should pay more attention to processed foods to avoid unknowingly consuming too much phosphorus, which can affect the body's calcium levels. Best calcium-rich foods 2 | Grains Grains are typically rich in calcium, and fortified grains provide up to 100 milligrams of calcium per serving.   Best calcium-rich foods #3 : Canned salmon Besides dairy products, canned salmon is one of the best dietary sources of calcium. Making salmon sandwiches for breakfast is very beneficial, as they also contain vitamin D , which helps the body absorb more calcium.   Best calcium-rich foods #4 : Soy products Legumes contain a lot of fiber, and soy products include tofu, soy milk, and canned baked beans .  5 Best Calcium-Rich Foods | Leafy Green Vegetables  Among cabbage, broccoli, and kale, cabbage has the highest calcium content and also contains vitamins A and C. One cup of cooked leafy greens provides more than 40% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin A and nearly two-thirds of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C ; one cup of raw broccoli contains about 35 mg of calcium, while the same amount of cooked broccoli contains 76 mg.   Foods that hinder calcium absorption  Calcium is an essential nutrient and is found in many foods such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. However, many foods can hinder calcium absorption. According to the National Institutes of Health, humans absorb about 30% of their calcium from the food they eat . In addition to diets rich in phytic acid (found in legumes, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, etc.) and sodium, diets low in vitamin D can also lead to poor calcium absorption. Because phytic acid binds with calcium and other minerals, effectively preventing absorption, excessive sodium consumption forces the body to draw minerals from bones to achieve balance, resulting in an overall net loss in absorption. The Importance of Vitamin D in Supplementing Calcium in the Human Body  Vitamin D deficiency can disrupt the overall regulation of calcium, making it crucial for calcium absorption. WHC Little Superman and Little Elf fish oils are IFOS 5-star certified in every batch , boasting high Omega-3 content to promote children's eye and brain development , enhance memory, and strengthen cognitive and comprehension abilities . The rTG form of the fish oil offers four times the absorption efficiency, and the added vitamin D3 promotes calcium absorption and boosts immunity ; suitable for children aged three and above .

What are unsaturated fats? Fats are composed of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules, which can be further divided into saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have a single bond structure and can combine with hydrogen atoms to form trans fats, which produce cholesterol and increase the risk of stroke and heart disease. Unsaturated fats contain one or more double bonds, so they cannot be hydrogenated and are usually liquid at room temperature. They can be further divided into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats cannot be produced by the body and can only be obtained through food. Each person's affinity for these two fatty acids varies depending on their genes. To determine which type a child has, it's best to undergo a genetic test. 3 Recommended Healthy Cooking Oils One of the main sources of monounsaturated fats is vegetable oil: 1. Olive oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, of which monounsaturated fatty acids account for about 70% of the fatty acid composition. These fatty acids are not easily destroyed even at high temperatures of 160-200 degrees Celsius, making it very suitable for cooking. 2. Canola seed oil contains 61% monounsaturated fats and a high 11% Omega-3 content , which is beneficial to cardiovascular health. In addition, it has the lowest saturated fatty acid content of all vegetable oils, accounting for only 7% , and contains fewer plasticizers and carcinogens. 3. Rice bran oil has a fatty acid ratio of 20% saturated fat, 43 % monounsaturated fat and 37% polyunsaturated fat, and is rich in vitamin E and oryzanol, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. List of foods with unsaturated fats - Nuts: Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, macadamia nuts, etc., contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamin E , dietary fiber and protein and other nutrients, and can also reduce the risk of diabetes later in life. - Fish: Salmon, mackerel, tuna, etc., are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce the risk of heart disease, depression, and obesity later in life. - Seeds: flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. -avocado​ WHC Little Superman uses wild-caught deep-sea fish roe from Peru and Chile, removing impurities while retaining active ingredients. Each batch is IFOS 5- star certified, containing 640mg of high-content Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids with a purity of up to 95% , promoting children's eye and brain development, enhancing memory, and strengthening cognitive and comprehension abilities .

High sodium diet affects children's kidneys WHC fish oil supplements reduce the burden on the body. Frequent urination in children may be due to their diet. Children's bodies are not yet fully developed, and their smaller size means they break down food more slowly than adults. Therefore, the same amount of sodium an adult consumes is already excessive for a child. A long-term high-salt diet can damage a child's kidneys and even lead to cardiovascular disease. Parents should pay close attention to their children's diet, avoiding high-sodium processed foods and reducing salt intake to protect children's kidney health. Children should consume less sodium than adults. The World Health Organization recommends that adults consume no more than 5g of salt per day , while children's intake should be adjusted proportionally according to their weight. For example, if a child weighs half that of an adult, their daily salt intake should not exceed 2.5g . The daily required salt should be obtained from normal foods. Most processed foods, as well as junk foods such as pancakes, hamburgers, and sandwiches, and sauces are high in sodium and should not be relied upon as staple foods. In addition, parents should carefully read nutrition labels. For example, although breakfast cereals are often sweet, they also contain a lot of sodium, and excessive intake can put a burden on the kidneys. 3 major harms of high sodium diets for children High Sodium Diets in Children: Part 1 | Kidney Health The younger the child, the greater the harm from excessive salt intake. Salt causes water retention in the body, affecting kidney function. This can lead to frequent urination and, in severe cases, kidney stones. High Sodium Diets in Children: Harm #2 | Leading to Cardiovascular Disease Sodium is closely related to blood pressure. When the body accumulates excess water, blood pressure can spike, leading to cardiovascular disease in children and damage to various organs. The Harm of High Sodium Diets in Children ( Part 3 ): Impact on Intellectual and Immune Development A high-sodium diet can affect children's absorption of zinc. Since zinc is an important element in the immune system and also affects children's intellectual development, it can lead to a decline in children's overall immunity and thus cause various diseases. 8 Dietary Recommendations for Protecting Children's Kidneys 1. A balanced diet and choosing whole foods 2. Whole grains combined with legumes such as wheat bread 3. Eat more dark-colored vegetables such as mushrooms, algae, and leafy greens. 4. Eat fruit every day 5. Pay attention to daily use of oil and supplement with an appropriate amount of nuts. 6. Ensure adequate Omega-3 intake daily. 7. Increase outdoor activity levels, such as cycling and ball games. 8. Drink 8-10 cups of water daily. Recommended fish oil for kidney protection WHC children's fish oil supports kidney health !

EPA, a fatty acid known as the "blood vessel cleaner", was often considered a healthy standard for middle-aged and elderly people. In fact, EPA also plays an important role in children's health . This article will explore in depth the multiple benefits of EPA for children's health. Debunking myths! EPA is not just for middle-aged and elderly people EPA is widely used in the middle-aged and elderly population due to its lipid-lowering ability . A 2017 paper in Vascular Pharmacology pointed out that EPA can significantly lower plasma triglycerides and is beneficial for atherosclerotic plaques. The US FDA has also approved EPA prescription fish oil. In the field of children's nutrition, DHA is often regarded as the key to brain nutrition, while EPA is misunderstood as a "monster". Natural nutrition in breast milk lays the foundation for immunity Breast milk itself contains EPA, and infants and young children begin to supplement EPA from birth. Dietary recommendations for Chinese preschool children: Children aged 4-5 should supplement 50-75 grams of livestock meat and fish every day. For example, salmon contains 287 mg EPA and 360 mg DHA per 30 grams. A 2020 article in "Nutrients" pointed out that about half of the studies showed that children who supplemented with ≥450 mg of DHA+EPA daily had improved cognitive abilities and helped the development of the brain and eyes. Conclusion: EPA is not only safe, but also an "invisible guardian" of children's growth. DHA’s “right-hand man”——EPA DHA is known as brain gold. It is the fatty acid with the highest content in the brain and is essential for neuron growth and neurotransmission. EPA can regulate inflammatory responses and nerve signals, indirectly supporting the function of DHA. Plasma unesterified EPA can be converted into DHA in the liver and supplied to the brain. The combined effects of EPA and DHA can improve the fluidity of nerve cell membranes, enhance synaptic plasticity, and improve learning and memory. The synergistic effect of EPA and DHA The combination of the two can more effectively reduce inflammatory factors and alleviate neuroinflammatory-related diseases. EPA and DHA also have synergistic effects in neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, and bioavailability. EPA is the best "work assistant" of DHA! Protecting children's growth: Improving immunity and protecting vision With the change of seasons or after playing outside, children are prone to catching colds, fevers or respiratory infections, so improving immunity becomes a goal for parents. EPA can regulate the production of inflammatory mediators and immune cell function, inhibit proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL-6, TNF-α), promote the production of anti-inflammatory mediators (such as resolvins, protectins), and balance the inflammatory response. Combined supplementation of EPA+DHA can reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases and improve asthma symptoms in children with iron deficiency. EPA can also change intestinal flora, enhance intestinal barrier function and overall immunity. Supplementing EPA during pregnancy can reduce children's BMI and body fat percentage, and reduce the risk of obesity. EPA protects children's vision health According to data from 2023, the myopia rate among children and adolescents in China is as high as 52.7%. EPA plays an important role in retinal photoreceptor cells and maintains retinal health. NHANES data showed that the intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (including EPA) was negatively correlated with the incidence of myopia in adolescents. EPA can regulate mitochondrial function, reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and protect retinal cells from oxidative damage. The combined action of EPA+DHA can enhance retinal neuron metabolism, increase macular pigment density, and enhance protection against blue light. EPA Improves ADHD and Emotional Health ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects approximately 23 million children and adolescents in the country. EPA can modulate dopamine and serotonin pathways, enhance prefrontal cortex function, and improve attention and behavioral control. Studies have shown that EPA supplementation can improve core symptoms of ADHD in children, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. EPA also improved cognitive function, reading ability, and behavioral scores. EPA can increase the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), promote neuroplasticity, improve mood and cognitive function, and effectively relieve depressive symptoms in children. Combined supplementation of EPA+DHA can significantly improve the executive function and emotion regulation ability of ADHD children. EPA: An all-around helper for children's growth EPA has been contributing to human health, from cardiovascular scavenger, immune regulation, eye protection to improving concentration, improving learning ability and ADHD. EPA is not only a "health partner" for middle-aged and elderly people, but also an "all-round assistant" for children's growth. References: Nelson, JR, Wani, O., May, HT, & Budoff, M. (2017).

Nowadays, Hong Kong parents are paying more and more attention to their children's health and growth. Especially under the situation of academic pressure and diversified diet choices, how to provide comprehensive nutrition for children has become a worry for many parents. In recent years, fish oil, as the main source of Omega-3 fatty acids, has attracted much attention from parents. Many people will ask: "Can children take fish oil?" This article will answer this question in detail, and introduce the benefits of fish oil for children and the precautions when supplementing, to help you keep an eye on your children's health. Can children take fish oil? The answer is yes. Fish oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, which are extremely important for brain and vision development. Proper supplementation of fish oil can help promote children's brain development, improve concentration, protect eyesight and enhance immunity. However, when choosing fish oil products, parents must pay attention to the quality, source and ingredients of the products, and supplement them appropriately according to the age and physical condition of the children. What are the benefits of fish oil for children? 4 major benefits at a glance Improve learning ability: DHA in Omega-3 is a key nutrient for children's brain development. It helps support brain nerve conduction, stimulate learning potential, and improve learning performance. Enhance concentration: Omega-3 can help stabilize the nervous system, help children focus and reduce distractions, especially suitable for children who study for a long time or have special learning needs. Protect bright eyesight: DHA in fish oil is an important nutrient for maintaining visual health. It helps protect children's eyes and reduce eye fatigue caused by 3C products. Promote growth and development, regulate physical fitness: Omega-3 can help regulate physiological functions and help children with more sensitive constitutions maintain health. The effect is better when combined with probiotics. The golden time for children to supplement Omega-3 Before and after school age (2-6 years old): The brain and nervous system develop rapidly, and appropriate supplementation of Omega-3 can help improve learning ability and concentration. Peak growth period (6-12 years old): School pressure increases, and supplementing with Omega-3 can promote memory, cognition, and enhance immunity. Children who are picky eaters or eat little fish: For children who have a monotonous diet or do not like to eat fish, it is recommended to take additional fish oil supplements to ensure balanced nutrition. Precautions for children's fish oil supplementation Choose high-quality fish oil: It is recommended to select products that come from small deep-sea fish, are free of heavy metal pollution, and have passed international certification. Pay attention to the dosage form and absorption rate: Children are suitable for chewing gel, liquid or capsule forms, and rTG fish oil with high absorption rate is preferred. Avoid artificial additives: Avoid adding artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. It is safer to choose natural ingredients to reduce the risk of allergies. Supplement according to age and recommended dosage: Do not overdose to avoid affecting the body's balance. If you have any special diseases, please consult a doctor first: for example, abnormal coagulation function, allergic constitution, etc., you should consult professional advice before supplementing. Recommended fish oil for children | Full nutrition score, the best choice for growth and development If parents want to choose high-quality Omega-3 fish oil for their children, WHC UnoCardio® CHEWY Little Superman Children's Chewable Fish Oil is highly recommended. This product adopts an innovative jelly capsule design, combined with ConCordix's quadruple patented technology, which increases the absorption rate by 200%. Each capsule contains up to 640mg of Omega-3 and is specially matched with vitamin D3, which helps to strengthen bones and fully support the healthy growth of children. In terms of taste, it is as chewy as soft candy, sugar-free tropical fruit flavor, and has no fishy smell at all. Children especially like it and it is easier and more enjoyable to eat. Whether in terms of nutritional content or taste, it is the first choice for parents to choose Omega-3 fish oil for their children, protecting their children's healthy growth in all aspects.

Reduce sugar intake Parents should reduce the amount of sugar their children consume every day, and be careful with some processed carbohydrates, such as white bread or waffles, because the body digests such processed carbohydrates into glucose very quickly. It is recommended to eat protein-rich foods, such as lean beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, soy and low-fat dairy products, which can be used by the brain to make neurotransmitters for mutual communication and prevent blood sugar spikes, thereby relieving hyperactivity. Eat more Omega-3 fatty acids Omega-3 is an essential fat that is important for normal brain function. It can improve hyperactivity, impulsive behavior and concentration. Studies have shown that children with hyperactivity have lower levels of omega-3 in their blood than those without hyperactivity. A Swedish study also showed that 25% of children who took omega-3 daily had significantly reduced symptoms after 3 months, and nearly 50% of children had better management of their symptoms after 6 months. Since the body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own, it must be obtained from food. In addition to eating more fish, parents can also supplement their children with fish oil to achieve a healthy level. A British multinational study found that taking 1200 mg of high-EPA fish oil daily for 12 weeks in 92 adolescents aged 6 to 18 with ADHD can effectively improve the attention and alertness of those with lower omega-3 concentrations. Iron supplementation The average iron level (measured as ferritin) in children with ADHD is 22, while the average iron level in children without ADHD is 44. Increasing the iron intake of children with hyperactivity improves their symptoms. However, parents should be aware that excessive iron intake is dangerous, so it is not recommended to give iron supplements without checking ferritin levels. If the iron level is less than 35, you can increase the intake of lean red meat, turkey and chicken, shellfish and beans in your daily diet to maintain ferritin levels. Check zinc and magnesium in the body Zinc and magnesium are two minerals that play an important role in controlling hyperactivity symptoms. Zinc helps regulate the neurotransmitter dopamine, so it can improve the brain's response to dopamine, while magnesium is also used to produce neurotransmitters involved in attention and concentration, which has a calming effect on the brain. Herbs to Improve Sleep In a European study on hyperactivity disorder and sleep problems, a combination of valerian and lemon balm extracts helped children with hyperactivity disorder by reducing anxiety. However, it is important to note that the quality of herbal products varies and there may be contaminants in them, so when purchasing, choose products that are certified and have international standard testing approval.
