Omega Pals

Kids of All Ages Need Omega-3

Omega-3s are a friend to growing bodies and brains. As infants, Omega-3s play an important role in the development of the brain, eyes and nervous system. For toddlers, Omega-3s continue to help support healthy vision as well as cognitive and behavioral development. And, once your child enters school, Omega-3s remain a key component to their success as they support memory, focus and cognitive development.* That’s why we made Omega Pals as a seriously delicious way for kids to enjoy the essential nutrition they need.

Get MORE Nutrition for Your Kids

What's the secret that makes Seriously Delicious Omega Pals so great? Emulsification! While many of us may think we absorb all the nutrients in the supplements we take, that isn’t necessarily true. Barlean’s uses a proprietary process to emulsify our oils, turning them into creamy, delicious treats. This is important to you for three reasons:

Better absorption. By emulsifying the nutritional oils in our Omega Pals products, we make the nutrients in them more bioavailable (absorbable). That means your kids get more nutritional value out of every spoonful. How much more of the Omega-3s and other nutrients do your kids absorb? Barlean’s Omega Pals fish and flax oils are 3X more absorbable than typical fish and flax oil in liqiud or softgel form.
No fish burps! Oils can be hard to digest, and burping is a sign your child may be having trouble. Because kids can absorb the emulsified nutritional oils in Omega Pals better, they won’t get those nasty after-burps.
It's delicious! The creamy texture and delicious taste of our Omega Pals products mean that kids will ask for their fish and flax oils!

Kids taste the fruit. Not the fish or flax oil.

If you or your kids have never tasted Barlean’s Seriously Delicious Omega Pals, we know what you’re thinking: there’s no way you can get my kids to enjoy taking their supplements. But it’s not only possible, it’s delicious! Most kids don’t like swallowing big softgels or the taste of liquid fish and flax oils. Luckily, getting your child to take Omega-3s doesn’t have to be a battle anymore. Omega Pals are so tasty, even the pickiest kids love them right off the spoon. T How do you use it? The possibilities are endless. Try it mixed into smoothies or yogurt, poured over oatmeal or ice cream or our favorite way - right off the spoon!

How does emulsification work?

It works like this: When we consume fat, our bodies automatically begin to break it down with digestive enzymes and bile to emulsify and micronize it (mix it with water and reduce it into smaller, easier-to-absorb molecules). That's because smaller molecules are better able to pass through the intestinal wall, so the nutrients can be absorbed. Barlean's Omega Pals are pre-emulsified, so kids' bodies can more easily and efficiently absorb the Omega-3s they need. Better absorption = better nutrition.
