Curated, not stocked.
Nordic Naturals has built a consistent reputation in the omega-3 category, with particular attention to oil freshness — an area where cheaper fish oil products often fall short. We recommend this for children with low oily fish intake who need a reliable, palatable source of EPA and DHA. The chewable strawberry format removes the compliance barrier that defeats many children's supplements before they have a chance to work.
About this product
Ultimate Omega Junior - Strawberry
Ultimate Omega Junior in Strawberry is a chewable omega-3 softgel designed for children, providing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) — the two long-chain fatty acids most relevant to a child's developing brain and nervous system. DHA in particular is a structural component of brain tissue and the retina, and adequate intake during childhood is studied in relation to cognitive function, attention, and visual development. EPA is associated with mood regulation and healthy inflammatory response.
This supplement suits children who do not eat oily fish regularly — a common reality in many households — and those whose diet may not reliably supply the omega-3s their development requires. It comes in a chewable softgel format with a natural strawberry flavour, which tends to improve compliance in younger children who resist swallowing capsules.
Nordic Naturals is a well-regarded name in the omega-3 category, known within the industry for attention to fish oil quality, including oxidation control — rancid fish oil is a genuine problem in this supplement class. The strawberry flavour also helps to mask any fishy taste, which matters when the goal is a supplement a child will actually take consistently. A paediatric omega-3 is worth considering alongside a balanced diet rather than as a substitute for it.

How to use
Follow the dosage on the packaging. Based on the product description, the typical guidance is to chew 2 softgels daily. Taking them with a meal containing some fat may support absorption, as omega-3s are fat-soluble.

Common questions
Frequently asked
At what age is this suitable for children?
Check the packaging for the specific age guidance Nordic Naturals provides, as recommended intake can vary by age and body weight. If your child is under three or has any health conditions, speak to your GP or paediatrician before starting.
How long until I notice a difference in my child?
Omega-3 supplementation is a slow-build intervention rather than an immediate one. Consistent daily intake over several weeks to months is generally needed before any changes in behaviour, attention, or mood might be observed — and effects are rarely dramatic.
Can my child take this alongside a multivitamin?
Omega-3 supplements do not typically interact with standard children's multivitamins. That said, check both labels for any overlapping ingredients and consult your GP if your child is on any medication, as fish oils can have mild blood-thinning effects at higher doses.
Why does the form of omega-3 matter?
Fish oil quality varies considerably between brands. Key concerns are the EPA-to-DHA ratio, the concentration per serving, and oxidation levels — rancid oil is less effective and can be harmful. Nordic Naturals is a brand with a long-standing focus on freshness and quality control within this category.
Is this suitable for children who are vegetarian?
This product is derived from fish oil, so it is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. Algae-based DHA supplements are an alternative worth exploring for plant-based households — speak to a clinician for a suitable recommendation.
