Essential Fatty Acids

All aspects of a child?s physical, emotional and mental growth and function are impacted by the Essential Fatty Acids. ChildLife Essentials' completely organic oil blend with lignans is delicately flavored with natural butterscotch.

ChildLife?s Essential Fatty Acids supplies the optimum balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. These nutrients are necessary on a daily basis and cannot be manufactured by the body. EFAs are especially necessary in growing children for healthy skin, intelligence and immune function.* They are critically important for proper neuronal development* as 50% of a child?s brain is built from and by the Essential Fatty Acids.

The first and only complete liquid nutritional program formulated specifically for infants & children, by Homeopathic Pediatrician Dr. Murray Clarke. Today?s children face unprecedented challenges from two very important areas. On one hand, the nutritional value of the food we eat decreases as the nutritional content of the soil is depleted through time and modern farming methods. On the other hand, the rapid increase in environmental pollution and toxic burden creates an increased need for these nutrients, the vitamins and minerals that protect, nourish and sustain a child's natural, healthy development. Eat right and support your child?s development with ChildLife formulas.
