Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that are necessary for health but not made by the body. According to Dr. Bill Sears, one of the nation's leading pediatricians, omega-3 fatty acids are vital for the development of the brain, eye, and nervous system in children. He states that children should have a daily intake of DHA, a particular type of omega-3 fatty acid. Since most children do not consume enough dietary sources of omega-3, such as fish and nuts, a daily supplement can provide the recommended intake.
