ProOmega® 2000 Jr. 1120 mg by Nordic Naturals

If your child won’t eat fish, this omega-3 for kids delivers 1,120 mg total omega-3s in two small softgels that are easy to swallow or chew. It also suits adults who prefer smaller capsules. It’s a maintenance-level dose if your Omega-3 Index is low or you want steady upkeep. If your triglycerides are elevated, meaningful reductions usually require higher-dose fish oil under clinician guidance.

EPA and DHA reduce how much fat your liver exports in VLDL particles (the carriers that show up as triglycerides), and they nudge cells to burn fatty acids for energy faster. Most responders see triglycerides fall within 4 to 12 weeks. These fats also change membrane signaling toward fewer inflammatory eicosanoids (short-lived signaling molecules), which can modestly lower hs-CRP in some people. DHA concentrates in brain cell membranes, which is why raising the Omega-3 Index is a reasonable goal for kids who avoid seafood, even though cognitive gains in healthy children are small.

Take two softgels with a meal that contains some fat to improve absorption. Swallow or chew; if you notice fishy burps, try taking them with dinner or briefly refrigerating the bottle. Stay consistent daily and recheck your Omega-3 Index after 8 to 12 weeks. If you need higher doses, a liquid fish oil can be more practical than adding more softgels.

Skip this if you have a confirmed fish allergy. If you are on prescription blood thinners like warfarin or use high-dose aspirin or clopidogrel, talk to your clinician before starting, and pause before elective surgery if your surgeon advises it. A small subset sees LDL cholesterol rise on fish oil; if that has happened to you, monitor your lipid panel after 8 to 12 weeks.
