Fish oil – contains additives?!

QUESTION:

Fish oil – contains additives?! I was recommended a very good brand of fish oil for my kids by paediatrician. Nordic Natural Cod Liver Oil. It is only recently I noticed that it has additives, for example rosemary extract.

Do you give fish oil to your children and do you know of any fish oil without additives.

ANSWER:

Yes you are correct! And many multi vitamins do also…

In this example you have flavours as well as rosemary extract.

I do not give my kids fish oil or any other multi vitamins. Even if there aren’t additives in the content of the product, usually they are in the capsules that it comes in and we react to the colouring in the capsules or the capsule itself.

Usually it would be hard to find unflavoured fish oil liquid as it wouldn’t taste good!

I haven’t done a review of fish oils to know if there is one available that would be additive free. You can suggest as a product to review in the future?
