Description

  • Excellent taste of elderberry and blackcurrant designed for kids
  • Far higher amount of omega 3 (DHA/EPA) than in gummies
  • Far more economical than getting omega 3 from fish bought at the supermarket
  • Fresh tuna oil, processed and tested in Nelson and used by us in small batches


The body uses omega 3 for brain development. Specifically, omega 3 maintains the fluidity of the brain as the brain makes new connections in learning, acquiring skills and forming memories. Furthermore, omega 3 is important in controlling mood, sleep and concentration.


Omega 3 is therefore one of the most important nutrients for children. However, children hate the taste of cod-liver oil (the classically taken form of omega 3) and cannot swallow soft gels (the form in which adults take their omega 3). Meanwhile, a child's omega-3 gummy typically contains only 25 to 40 mg of omega 3, and a child therefore needs to take an absurd one- to two-thirds of a jar of gummies per day to receive a decent dose of omega 3. Such consumption would not only be a large expense but also require the ingestion of huge amounts of sugar and glucose.


Under the guidance of the taste buds of then-8-year-old Caspar, we developed an elderberry and blackcurrant omega-3 supplement that tastes phenomenal yet contains no sugar and delivers 40 doses of 460 mg omega 3 (including 350 mg DHA and 70 mg EPA).


The omega 3 in Caspar's Choice is mostly DHA and EPA, which the body uses, rather than ALA, which is the form of omega 3 that the body hardly uses.


The tuna oil used in Caspar's Choice is sustainably sourced and then processed and mercury tested in Nelson, New Zealand, by SeaDragon. See www.seadragon.co.nz for certifications.


A syringe is included for quick dosing and giving to children.


Caspar's Choice is a premium refrigerated product. Like most foods that are good for you, this product is to be consumed fresh.


Note that tuna oil goes hard when refrigerated. We have packed Capar's Choice with as much tuna oil as possible, and it is therefore recommended to invert the bottle in a pot of hot (but not boiling) tap water for 10 minutes to allow the product to flow easily.


Made in New Zealand.

I get the kids to take this omega 3 much daily and their moods and attitudes have improved greatly. Thank you for this excellent product.

I think this product tastes beautiful, so I have started taking it instead of my fish oil capsules even though it is supposed to be for the kids. Two of my kids really like it, and I just syringe it into my third kid whether he wants it or not.

This was our second bottle for our 8yo daughter. I like the liquid form over a chewable leaving residue in her teeth. Unfortunately she struggles with the taste/texture, where as she is OK with the vit c taste/texture

I like how I can taste the potency of the fish oil yet enjoy the taste. My son considers it a treat.

I have struggled to find a DHA product that both my fussy kids like. With Caspar's Choice they actually ask me if they can have more. Plus a major bonus, it is also a vitamin D supplement. Win-win.

I have tried other products but they are terrible tasting and lacking on the dose, plus with this I don't have to give a vitamin D supplement anymore as this has that too.

This is an absolutely natural and healthy product for kids' brain and nervous systems. I am a nutritionist and have been looking for something like this because my son is 5 and has ADHD and he just stated school and this is already helping us.

I bought this supplement having seen your videos on how little omega 3 there is in omega 3 gummies, which I had been using up to that point. So I am very happy that I am now giving my kids a good amount. The kids keep asking for it because they love the taste, so well done there.

I am so pleased that this product came out because my kids will not eat any fish or take fish oil. I also mave a teenager who can't swallow pills. She also enjoys the flavour. Never stop making this.

All amazing products, but I really love this one. I bought it for the kids but I sneak it too.

This was recommended to me for my little ones by a friend who has other products in the range. I'm very pleased with this one and both of my kids love the taste. Its tricky sometimes to get out of the bottle so I have to leave it out of the fridge for 10 minutes beforehand, for it to syringe out easily. My kids are 4 and 9 years old.

My kids love this product. This will always be on my shelf. I actually bought extra so that we will never run out. This was on the recommendation of my nutritionist. Kids are 6 and 8 years old.
