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.

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.
