Why Omega-3 Matters for Children
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are essential nutrients that the body cannot produce in sufficient amounts on its own. They must come from food or supplementation. Many children do not get enough omega-3 through diet alone, particularly if they do not eat oily fish regularly.
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. It is vitally important for developing brains to have sufficient Omega 3's. EPA and DHA together contribute to the normal function of the heart. These benefits are associated with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
What Makes QuattrO3 + PS Different
Most standard fish oils contain only around 30% omega-3, with the remaining 70% made up of other fats. QuattrO3 + PS contains 90% omega-3, meaning children receive a meaningful amount of EPA and DHA without unnecessary extras.
The omega-3 in QuattrO3 + PS is provided in r-triglyceride (rTG) form, which research suggests is more readily absorbed by the body compared to the ethyl ester form found in many other fish oil supplements.
A Thoughtful Formula
QuattrO3 + PS goes beyond a standard children's fish oil. The formula brings together several supportive nutrients:
Vitamin D3 is needed for the normal growth and development of bone in children. Each two-capsule serving provides 10 mg (400 IU), which is 200% of the Reference Intake.
Phosphatidylserine (Sharp PS Green) is sourced from sunflowers rather than soy, making this formula suitable for those avoiding soy. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid naturally present in cell membranes.
Evening primrose oil provides GLA (gamma linolenic acid), an omega-6 fatty acid.
Purity and Sustainability
WHC sources fish from certified sustainable fisheries, using only small, non-endangered species. The oil undergoes careful purification to remove contaminants, and the finished product is independently tested by IFOS.
The 5-star IFOS rating confirms that QuattrO3 + PS meets the highest standards for purity, with no detectable levels of heavy metals, PCBs or other contaminants.
Pure and natural fish oil, fish gelatine, phosphatidylserine (Sharp PS Green), humectant: glycerol, evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis), tutti-frutti flavour, antioxidant: TocoMarin (a blend of rosemary and tocopherol-rich extracts), cholecalciferol.
Recommended as a food supplement for children aged 3 to 14 years. The suggested serving is 1 to 2 capsules per day, preferably taken with meals.
For children who find swallowing capsules difficult, simply cut open the soft gel and squeeze the contents onto cold foods such as yoghurt, pasta, rice or vegetables.
If your child is taking any medication or has a medical condition, please consult a healthcare practitioner before use.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Q: What age is QuattrO3 + PS suitable for?
A: QuattrO3 + PS is formulated for children aged 3 to 14 years. The dosage and nutrient levels have been carefully considered with this age range in mind.
Q: My child cannot swallow capsules. Can they still take QuattrO3 + PS?
A: Yes. The soft gel capsules can be cut open and the contents squeezed onto cold foods such as yoghurt, pasta, rice or vegetables. The tutti-frutti flavour helps make this a pleasant experience.
Q: Does QuattrO3 + PS have a fishy taste or smell?
A: No. The capsules have been formulated with a tutti-frutti flavour and do not have the fishy taste or smell often associated with fish oil supplements.
Q: What does the 5-star IFOS rating mean?
A: The International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) Program independently tests fish oil products for purity, potency and freshness. A 5-star rating indicates the product meets the highest standards, with very low or undetectable levels of contaminants such as heavy metals and PCBs.
Q: Is QuattrO3 + PS suitable for children with soy allergies?
A: Yes. The phosphatidylserine in QuattrO3 + PS is sourced from sunflowers, not soy. The formula is soy-free.
Q: Why is the omega-3 in r-triglyceride form?
A: Omega-3 in r-triglyceride (rTG) form is closer to the natural form found in fish. Research suggests this form may be better absorbed by the body compared to ethyl ester forms commonly used in other supplements.
Q: Is the fish sustainably sourced?
A: Yes. WHC uses fish from certified sustainable fisheries and only uses small, non-endangered species.
Q: Can my child take QuattrO3 + PS alongside other supplements or medication?
A: If your child is taking any medication or other supplements, it is best to consult a healthcare practitioner before adding QuattrO3 + PS to their routine.
Q: How should I store QuattrO3 + PS?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. There is no need to refrigerate, but keeping the capsules cool helps maintain freshness.
Q: Is QuattrO3 + PS suitable for vegetarians?
A: No. The capsules contain fish oil and fish gelatine, so they are not suitable for vegetarians. They are, however, suitable for pescatarians.
