Posted on Thu, 22 Apr 2021

Question: My daughter doesn't like fish, but I feel that it might help her with inflammation. Also, her vitamin D levels have been very low off and on for years. What kind of fish oil supplement would be helpful for her? And what form of Vitamin D supplement? She does spend time out in the sun every day.

Brief Answer:
You can give omega3 and vitamin D3 supplements.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Fish oil is good for health especially for growing children. It’s better to have small sea fish rather than supplements.
You can take omega 3 containing supplements which is usually recommended by nutritionists. “OmegaVia Fish Oil” and “Dr. XXXXXXX Optimum Omega 3 Fish Oil” are some commonly prescribed brands.
VitaminD3 (cholecalciferol) is the preferred supplements . You can give vitaminD3 sachets easily available over the counter.
