Aura Care Omega-3 for Children 50ml

Aura Care Omega-3 for Children - cocoa oil 50 ml

The children’s version differs from the adult version in three ways: its own composition, a smaller dose, and the inclusion of cocoa seed oil macerate in the ingredient list. The bottle contains 50 ml, and the daily dose is 1 ml, which is about 26 drops, which the manufacturer allows to be split into two smaller doses. In this portion, it declares 929.75 mg of oil from microalgae Schizochytrium sp., including 371.9 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, of which 351.2 mg is DHA and 20.7 mg is EPA, as well as 42 mg of cocoa macerate. The oil is the same raw material that the brand uses in adult versions, standardized to 40% DHA. The cocoa bean is responsible for the taste, which the manufacturer describes as subtly cocoa-flavored - and it usually decides whether the child will take the preparation without a fuss. The product is declared vegan, preservative-free, and GMO-free. The manufacturer recommends protecting the bottle from light and using the contents within 12 months of opening.

Ingredients

The list of ingredients as provided by the manufacturer:

• Oil from microalgae Schizochytrium sp. (contains 40% DHA)
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin C
• Cocoa seed oil macerate

Content in the daily portion, which is 1 ml (about 26 drops):

• Oil from microalgae - 929.75 mg
• including omega-3 fatty acids - 371.9 mg
• including DHA - 351.2 mg
• including EPA - 20.7 mg
• Cocoa macerate - 42 mg

This table is not a reduced version of the table for adults, and it is worth knowing if both bottles are at home. The portion is different, the composition is different, and the cocoa macerate appears only in this version, so giving a child the adult oil in a smaller amount does not provide the same preparation. Measuring in drops has a practical advantage for children that a ready capsule does not offer: the manufacturer allows splitting the daily portion into two smaller doses, and the oil can be mixed into cool oatmeal or yogurt, so administration does not depend on whether the child can swallow something whole. The manufacturer targets the preparation to preschool and school-age children; the age at which you start administering should be determined with a pediatrician, especially if the child is on regular medication or has diagnosed food allergies. Before the first administration, also check the ingredients and markings printed on the packaging, just like with any preparation given to a child.

For whom

This version is for parents who want to supplement their child’s daily diet with omega-3 fatty acids, and previous attempts have failed due to the taste of the preparation. The cocoa macerate is the answer to this obstacle, rather than a nutritional addition. The manufacturer describes the taste as subtly cocoa, so the oil can be mixed into oatmeal or yogurt without negotiations at the table. The liquid form has an obvious advantage over capsules for younger children who cannot yet swallow capsules, and it allows splitting the portion into two smaller doses. The preparation is vegan, which can be important for plant-based diets in the family. The decision to start supplementation should be made after consulting with a pediatrician who knows the child’s age, weight, and diet. Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from light and out of reach of children. The portion is measured in drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

For which children is this oil intended?

The manufacturer targets it to preschool and school-age children and provides one daily portion - 1 ml, which is about 26 drops, which can be split into two smaller doses. The specific age at which you start administering should be determined with a pediatrician who knows the child’s weight and diet; also check the markings on the packaging before the first administration.

How does this version differ from the adult oil?

In three ways: the daily portion, the content breakdown, and the cocoa macerate, which the adult version does not contain. It is a separate formula, not the same one given in a smaller amount, so giving a child the adult oil in a reduced portion does not provide the same preparation. The table printed on this bottle describes only the children’s version.

How to give the oil to a child who does not like supplements?

The manufacturer allows adding it to a cool meal, so the simplest way is oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit puree. Do not mix the oil with hot dishes or hot beverages. The daily portion can also be split into two smaller doses, which can be easier than one attempt, and administered under the supervision of an adult.

How to store the oil after opening?

In the closed, original packaging, at a temperature not exceeding 25°C and away from light. After opening the bottle, the manufacturer gives 12 months to use the contents. Keep the oil out of reach of small children - also because the bottle looks harmless, and the portion is measured in drops.

Variants and category

The same brand offers an adult version, the basic Aura Care Omega-3 oil, and a variant with mint flavor called Omega-3 Fresh. Both are in the Supplements category, along with the full range of the brand.
