Storage and Safety:
Keep somewhere cool, dry and out of kids’ reach. Don’t use if the safety seal is damaged
or missing. Once open, store in the fridge (it might appear cloudy) and use within 3 months. Food supplements aren’t a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle, and never take more than the recommended dose.
It’s always good to check with your doctor before taking omega-3 if you:
• are on any medication, such as blood thinners
• are about to have surgery
• have health concerns or conditions

Why Action Heroes is different
-
Super strength for fast results
The strongest kids’ omega-3 on the market, so you see faster results. Plus, it’s the best value per dose.
-
Trusted by clinicians & families
Over half of our sales come from nutritional therapists, doctors and experts who are very selective about supplements, see the real-life changes, and recommend us.
-
IFOS certified purity
All our finished batches are tested by International Fish Oil Standards – the most rigorous benchmark for purity and freshness. On top of the two sets of tests we also run because we’re omega-3 perfectionists.
-
Wild, sustainably caught fish
Our long-time Norwegian manufacturer only works with fisheries certified by both Friends of the Sea and the Marin Trust.
- Rated 1 out of 5 stars1 week agoVery fishy taste - not as described
I'm sorry I bought this on the assurance that it doesn't have a fishy taste and unfortunately it has a very very strong fishy taste. It's a no from the kids and from me.
BBBare Biology1 week agoThanks for your honest feedback, Marika. I'm so sorry to hear that you and your kids haven't been enjoying Action Heroes.
You may, understandably, be worried about whether the oil is safe to take so I’d just like to reassure you that all our oils are triple-tested for purity, including once with IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards). Among other things, we test the oxidation level and it’s always well below the limits set by international bodies.
While we use natural lemon oil to help create a mild flavour, fresh lemons can differ depending on the season they’re harvested. The same ratio of lemon oil is used in every batch, but occasionally the lemon is less ‘lemony’ and therefore, the fish oil flavour comes through more. Hopefully this explains why you might be experiencing this.
You may already know this, but just in case, the liquid must be put in the fridge after the first use, with the lid tightly sealed. After a time, the lid and neck of the bottle might catch the odd drip and start to smell a bit stronger, so it’s never a good idea to hold the bottle up to your nose. It’s best to pour some out and smell the fresh oil on the spoon. Obviously, this doesn’t apply to a freshly opened bottle.
Most of our little customers love taking Action Heroes, but for those who don't, some parents have found sneaking it into their favourite foods can help. Here are some examples you can test out for yourself (https://www.barebiology.com/blogs/news/3-ways-to-help-your-kids-take-their-fish-oil?_pos=3&_sid=d72fed127&_ss=r). Taking it in orange juice can also do the trick.
I've reached out to you via email to see if I can help with this anymore.
Best wishes,

I purchased this for my 20 month old after being recommended by a naturopath that this was a very easy to take omega.
I can’t begin to describe how wrong the recommendation was and the reviews. It smells and tastes so strong! My son isn’t fussy at all, really enjoys eating fish - but this was another level. It sadly made him throw up straight away.
Totally gutted as I think the brand has incredible values and I really wanted to introduce an Omega.

FAQs
How long will a bottle last?
Three months, if you use 1ml a day. There’s 100ml in each bottle.
How much omega-3, DHA and EPA is in each drop?
Each 1ml drop contains 700mg of omega-3 (that includes 500mg DHA & 100mg EPA). This is as much as a whole tin of sardines (with bones!).
How do I measure out 1ml?
Each bottle of Action Heroes comes with a handy syringe that you plug into the bottle top. Just draw out 1ml and squirt it straight into your child's mouth or into food.
If you want to measure out 1ml with a regular teaspoon just pour a tiny amount – literally a drop.
How do I keep the syringes clean?
Wash them in hot, soapy water with the washing up. Swish soapy water in and out of them a few times to get rid of any residue, or they could smell a little fishy after a while.
Do I have to use the syringe?
No, you can just pour a tiny amount on to a spoon. It's not a medicine so it doesn't have to be exact.
What age is Action Heroes good for?
We’ve created Action Heroes for kids from 6 months to 12 years old. Teenagers and adults over 12 can take it too (the DHA is especially good pregnant women!), but teenagers would benefit from more EPA and could switch to Life & Soul.
Why is DHA omega-3 so crucial for kids?
Put simply, it helps children’s brains and bodies develop.
DHA omega-3 is a major component of our brain, eye tissue and skin. So much so that during pregnancy the body feeds the mother’s DHA to the baby, and breast milk has elevated levels. In fact, the amount of DHA in the brain increases by 30 times between the first 24 weeks and two years of life*.
But most children don’t get enough DHA in their food. And this matters.
Studies show a direct link between low levels of DHA and poor learning and behaviour. The 2012 Dolab** study found that DHA is ‘a safe and effective way to improve the reading and behaviour in healthy, but underperforming children in mainstream schools’. And an earlier study by the same researchers in Durham also found that increasing omega-3 in the diets of children between 5 and 12 significantly improved their reading, spelling and behaviour over three months.
*Neonatal network, 2007, 26:229-234
**The Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Oxford Learning and Behavior Study, 2012
Why do you recommend 500mg DHA for children?
The DHA Oxford Learning and Behaviour Study (DOLAB) is one of the most significant on the effects of DHA on children’s learning and behaviour. Our founder, Melanie, met one of the lead investigators, Dr Alex Richardson, and was struck by the view that omega-3 supplementation and dosage recommendations are too low. In this particular study, 4 to 7 year olds were given 600mg DHA per day (in the form of algal oil).
Many factors, including diet, can impede children’s ability to synthesise omega-3 fatty acids and the recommended doses aren’t likely to have any significant impact on their health. (Reference Superko RJ, et al. Circulation, 2013. 128: p. 2154-2161).
DHA plays a super critical role in the structure and function of the brain and eyes. Most young and older children don’t have enough in their diet, making supplementation a key component of their nutrition. Doses as high as 5,000mg are well-tolerated by children and adults (EFSA Journal, 2012. 10 (7):2815).
From our own personal experience and from the countless reviews we’ve received from customers, the health benefits from taking between half and 1ml of Action Heroes a day are incredible and support our view that it is not only safe but very beneficial for children who don’t get DHA from their diet. The great thing about liquid form is the dosage can be varied and we always recommend parents consult a registered nutritional therapist for guidance.
What is the lemon oil made from?
It is an essential oil expressed from the peel of Sicilian lemons.
Does it contain any allergens?
Action Heroes isn't suitable for those with an allergy to fish or citrus.
Please see our allergen statement for more info.
