SALT LAKE CITY, March 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Children can be finicky when it comes to taking their daily nutrition, especially when fish is involved. But a quality supplement like USANA's BiOmega ™ Jr. can make it fun and easy for kids to get what they need. USANA Health Sciences Inc.

"This newest addition to the USANA family has moms in Canada very excited," said Belynda Lee, USANA's vice president of Canada and North American Asian markets. "Canada is a very health conscious place to live and raise a family, making the BiOmega Jr. a product essential to creating healthier generations to come."

Each packet of BiOmega Jr. contains essential fatty acids of EPA and DHA plus vitamin D. Research shows these particular supplements are important for a child's growing brain and body. BiOmega Jr. is also equipped with concentrated omega-3s. Omega-3s are recognized for supporting healthy eye development and visual acuity.

A 2009 study published in the Journal of Nutrition estimated that nearly 90 percent of children consume less than the daily 351mg of EPA/DHA recommended by the American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada.
