Only fish oils made from the liver of the fish (like cod liver oil) contain the vitamin A naturally. Fish oils not made from the liver do not contain vitamin A. CLO also contains the vitamin D which is not the type of oil we found success with in our group. We found success with the oils not made from the liver where the EPA is slightly higher than the DHA. While pregnant and during breast feeding you provide your baby with "essential fatty acids" which are essential to our bodies, but we can't produce them so we need to consume them and yet they are virtually lacking in our diets today. The fish oils formula most of us found success with, one capsule is about equivalent to the dosage the FDA approved for infant formula. It's understandable but puts it into perspective that as a society we are more concerned over something that is essential and needed by the body then something that comes in a fast food wrapper. You can find more about fish oils in The Late Talker book, on this website and here's a "Fish Oil 101" archived message from our group at our <a href="http://apraxia.org" rel="nofollow">apraxia.org</a> facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735601&topic=7401" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735...</a> If after reading a bit you have any questions ask away -and don't be overwhelmed. Fish oils seem easy enough to understand but the more you learn about them the more you'll be aware you don't know! But bottom line in my opinion just about everyone should be on them for health reasons alone -and that includes 18 month old late talkers for sure! Why not check with your child's pediatrician -I have found the better doctors are aware of the research linking good nutrition to improved neuro function.<br><br>=====<br>Lisa Geng<br>President CHERAB Foundation<br>Communication Help, Education, Research, Apraxia Base<br><a href="http://www.cherab.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.cherab.org</a> <a href="http://www.pursuitofresearch.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.pursuitofresearch.org</a><br><a href="http://www.apraxia.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.apraxia.org</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/TheLateTalker" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/TheLateTalker</a><br><br>772-335-5135<br>"Help give our cherubs a smile and a voice" Hi Monika!

Thank you. Are there any concerns of vitamin A or D toxicity (overdose) if I give proEFA to my 18 month old boy who is speech delayed and is undergoing evaluations to qualify for Early Intervention?
