[QUOTE="totoro, post: 205544, member: 3155"] I think the fish oil is recommended over the flax because of the EPA and DHA concentrations naturally in the fish. Flax is great as well. But I believe almost all of the studies on mood have been done with Fish Oil. Flax seed has ALA which is great also. So both are good for you. But in studies they say the Fish oil is digested easier and used up by your body in more efficient way. We use Barleans DHA fruit Chews for kids, they are squares like candy, they have Vitamin C, EPA, DHA, Omega-3, ALA, and various Omega-6 in 1 chew. 3 flavors. But to get the 2000-3000mg that is recommended for Mood Disorder you would need quite a few. I think 1 chew has 160mg. We give these to N who has sensory issues and will only eat these, Dr. Sears also makes one without the ALA. K and husband and I take the Orange flavored Barleans Fish Oil Capsules, 1000mg each. K takes 2 and husband and I take 3 each. I never burp up fish! These are by far my favorite. We get our flax seed in our oatmeal and smoothies, and bread. We have an alternative family doctor, kind of like Doctor Weil. Oprah loves him. I believe this guy trained under him. I have read that Choline and Lecithin (Phosphatidylcholine) is great for our kids. There was a conclusive study done that showed that with use of both of these together reduced mania occurred. One child was able to stop Lithium use. Side note on the study was that it was not benificial for kids who had, unipolar, not really bipolar or just depression. Only Bipolar. I am going to ask to add these to K's treatment at her psychiatrist meeting next week. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
