What is Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA?
Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA is a great-tasting strawberry liquid fish oil for children aged one and above, delivering 530 mg of omega-3s per half-teaspoon serving, including 255 mg DHA and 170 mg EPA. Made from purified Arctic cod liver oil, it is formulated to support healthy brain, eye and nervous-system development.
This formula uses omega-3s in their natural triglyceride (TG) form, which the label describes as better absorbed than the ethyl ester form. The signature strawberry flavour and no-fishy-aftertaste profile make daily dosing easier for toddlers and young children who often resist fish oil. It provides a convenient way to supplement a child’s dietary omega-3 intake.
The current product label describes Nordic Naturals as the number one fish oil brand in the USA, based on the sales-data sources listed on the pack; this is a packaging claim rather than an independently verified current ranking. The fish oil is processed in Norway from sustainably caught wild fish, then made and quality-tested in the United States.
What type of supplement is Children’s DHA?
Children’s DHA is a children’s omega-3 fish oil supplement in liquid form, made from purified Arctic cod liver oil. It sits in the brain, eye and nervous-system support category for children aged one and up, supplying the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA that a young diet may not always provide.
The key active nutrients are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). DHA is a major structural fat found in the brain and the retina of the eye. The product is animal-derived (fish oil), naturally flavoured with strawberry, preserved with rosemary extract and stabilised with natural vitamin E (RRR-alpha tocopherol). It is Non-GMO tested and contains no gluten, milk derivatives, wheat, soy or synthetic dyes.
Contains fish (cod). Not suitable for children with a fish allergy.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
How do DHA and EPA support children’s development?
DHA and EPA are omega-3 fatty acids the body uses as building blocks. DHA is a primary structural component of the brain and the retina, while both fatty acids contribute to healthy cell membranes. In children aged one and above, a daily omega-3 intake helps support normal brain, eye and nervous-system development during childhood development.
Young children often do not eat enough oily fish to reach a helpful omega-3 intake on their own. Children’s DHA provides a convenient way to supplement a child’s dietary omega-3 intake in a simple daily dose. Because the omega-3s are supplied in triglyceride form, they are presented to the body in a form it absorbs well, without the strong taste that makes many children refuse fish oil.
What are the key benefits of Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA?
Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA provides daily omega-3 nutrition that supports several areas of a growing child’s health. Its main benefits, based on the label and the recognised roles of DHA and EPA, include the following.
- Supports healthy brain development and learning in children
- Helps maintain healthy eye development
- Contributes to the healthy development of the nervous system
- Provides 530 mg of omega-3s per serving, including 255 mg DHA and 170 mg EPA
- Formulated in triglyceride form, described on the label as better absorbed than ethyl ester omega-3s
- Great strawberry taste with no fishy aftertaste, making daily dosing easier
- Non-GMO tested and free from gluten, milk derivatives, wheat, soy and synthetic dyes

What are the key ingredients in Children’s DHA?
Children’s DHA keeps its ingredient list short and purposeful, built around purified Arctic cod liver oil with a small number of natural supporting ingredients.
Purified Arctic Cod Liver Oil
The source of the omega-3s DHA and EPA, processed in Norway from sustainably caught wild fish, in the natural triglyceride form the label describes as better absorbed than ethyl ester omega-3s.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
A long-chain omega-3 and a major structural fat of the brain and retina. DHA is the headline nutrient in this formula, supplying 255 mg per serving.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
A companion omega-3 to DHA, present at 170 mg per serving, as part of the total 530 mg omega-3 content.
Natural Flavour (Strawberry) & Rosemary Extract
Natural strawberry flavour gives the taste and no-fishy-aftertaste profile, while rosemary extract acts as a natural preservative to keep the oil fresh.
RRR-Alpha Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E)
A natural antioxidant that protects the delicate omega-3 oils from oxidation and helps maintain product quality.

How should you give Children’s DHA to your child?
For children aged one year and above, give one-half teaspoon (approximately 2.5 mL) daily, with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional. The strawberry flavour means it can be taken straight from the spoon or mixed into a little food or a drink if preferred.
Use the dosage exactly as printed on the label and do not exceed it unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional. Do not take if the tamper-evident seal is broken or missing.
How can you get the best results from Children’s DHA?
Omega-3 nutrition supports children best as part of a consistent daily routine alongside a balanced diet. Give the labelled serving each day with food, and use it alongside healthy family meals rather than in place of them.
- Give the labelled half-teaspoon serving daily with food
- Refrigerate after opening and keep the bottle tightly closed
- Use within three months of opening for freshness
- Support it with a balanced children’s diet
- Follow professional advice before combining it with other supplements
Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.
