Why do I give my kids daily Omega-3 supplements? It seems like everyone is on board with the idea that fish oil is one of the few dietary supplements that conclusively work. Because of the extensive body of research, I have been prescribing high dosages of EPA and DHA for our athletes for the last decade with great results. Lately, I have received more questions on strategies I use to develop athletic qualities in my own children. Unsurprising to anyone that knows me well, I have a plan and yes, it includes daily supplementation of Omega-3.
