So My biggest little has been diagnosed with ADHD, while the diagnosis is fitting I'm not sure I'm up for following the medication route, I'm looking at more homeopathic remedies first, well not actually first since we have tried meds and the outcome has not been good...anywho, I've done some research and it seems omega's and Magnesium supplements help ADHD kids and I'm sure he isn't getting enough of those anyway. I ordered some Omega supplements since they overall had good taste reviews and high amounts of Omegas and DHA's. The brand was called Coromega. It comes in two flavors (I choose orange) and is an easy squeeze packet. The packaging is easy to open, and it dispenses nicely. The flavor has been another issue all together. Out of my three little's only my middle liked the flavor and will take it willingly straight from the packet. You can mix this with yogurt or smoothies but I didn't have either of those options available.
My middle has no issues with ADHD or anything else so I didn't notice any change at all in him but I figure the nutrients don't hurt, so he continues to take it.
Still on the search for supplements I happened upon L'il critters Omega-3 gummy fish. I will say I'm not a fan of gummy medications, kids associate them with candy and if my little could open it he would devour the whole bottle in one sitting. I'm not thrilled with the low dose of DHA in these, however all three little's like them and would eat them. I still however was not sold so I moved on.
Next was Natural vitality's Kid's calm. I read tons of reviews some great some not so great so I decided before spending mucho money on a bottle I would contact them for samples or to see if I could buy a smaller size bottle. They were kind enough to send me a few packets of kids calm and a few brochures about it and a book about kids health (which was very interesting!). Packing was simple to open, the smell was very strong of vitamins and my big would not drink it from the packet, I tried to mask it by mixing with juice and still it was a no go. I tried it and didn't find the flavor to be that bad, it tasted like a liquid vitamin with the slight aftertaste. It wasn't bad but not something I want to drink a ton of. I'm still going to attempt to get the other packets into him somehow as this seems to have everything I want to give him in one vitamin. However if this doesn't work it's back to the drawing board.
