Nordic Naturals Releases Expert Insights on Why Omega-3s Should Be on Back-to-School Checklists

Company highlights the important role omega-3s play in children's brain development and cognitive function as they head back to the classroom

Watsonville, CA, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nordic Naturals, the #1 selling fish and algae oil brand in the U.S. ‡, has announced its back-to-school nutritional insights to help parents prioritize omega-3 nutrients alongside traditional school supplies, especially EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids that support learning, healthy brain development, and cognitive function, to help lay the foundation for a successful school year.*

Nordic Naturals, the #1 selling fish oil brand in the U.S. ‡, offers omega-3 supplements formulated specifically for different stages of childhood.

"EPA and DHA play an important role in brain development, yet many children don't regularly eat omega-3-rich foods*,” said Kate Turner, MA, RD, CPT, nutrition specialist at Nordic Naturals. “Back-to-school season is a critical time for parents to consider if their children’s nutritional needs are being met to set them up for a successful school year.”

Beyond Diet

Since EPA and DHA are found primarily in cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and anchovies, as well as algae, these critical nutrients can be difficult for many children to obtain through diet alone. According to Turner, for children who don’t regularly consume these omega-3-rich foods, a high-quality omega-3 supplement is highly encouraged to help fill nutritional gaps.

To address these needs across various age groups, Nordic Naturals offers tailored omega-3 supplement options, including Nordic Naturals Children's DHA™, which provides age-appropriate levels of EPA and DHA to support learning, healthy brain development, and cognitive function in younger children, and Ultimate Omega® Teen, which delivers higher-strength omega-3s specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of growing adolescents.

Quality Considerations

When choosing an omega-3 supplement, Turner says quality is a top priority.

"Not all omega-3 supplements are created equal," Turner said. "Purity, strength, freshness, and absorption all matter. Every Nordic Naturals omega-3 product is rigorously tested to verify these quality standards, and every product features a QR code linking directly to a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. We believe families deserve complete transparency about the supplements they're choosing."
