- Description
- Essential Fatty Acids are fundamental and necessary nutrients just like vitamins and minerals.1 They are especially needed for immune function,2 cell growth 3 and healthy skin.4 They are crucial for proper neuronal development as 50% of an infant/child's brain is built from and by EFAs.5
All aspects of a child's physical, emotional and mental growth and function are dependent upon EFAs. Essential Fatty Acids are called essential because they are required for so many important functions in the body and brain, and because the body cannot manufacture them. These valuable nutrients are easily destroyed during the processing of foods, so supplementation is the only way to insure that children get sufficient EFAs.
ChildLife's Essential Fatty Acids provides the optimum balance (1:1 ratio) of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. This all organic five-oil blend is delicately flavored with natural butterscotch to create an easy to take formula for infants and children of all ages.
