Our recommendations for kids
Kids Omega 3 + D3/K2 is our first pick: omega-3, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, three of the most commonly supplemented nutrients for children, in one daily dose.
Both of our kids' drops are vegan, with DHA and EPA gently extracted from microalgae, and come in lemon or unflavoured. Kids Omega 3 + D3/K2 adds vitamins D3 and K2 to the same drops: vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children. Prefer omega-3 on its own? Kids Omega 3 is the same drops without the vitamins.
- Ages 2–18
