Including cold pressed raw vegetable oils in a diet is a great way to
take care of healthy development of a child. Our oil is a perfect blend of unsaturated
fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
Research shows, the growth of a child's brain ends at the age of 5-6
years, although some data indicates the importance of the period from fertilization to 6-8 years of
age [1]. Essential fatty acids (EFA) are essential building material for
neurotransmitters. The human body is not able to synthesize EFAs on its own,
therefore it is very important to provide them with food [2,3].
Rapeseed oil
Rapeseed oil contains, among others, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). In
children's diet, it is an important ingredient because of its metabolic
activity and cognitive development of children. Moreover, ALA is first
converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and then to docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA).
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays an important role in the metabolism of
the cell membrane of neurons and glial cells. It is especially needed for brain
development. In addition, rapeseed oil is a good source of fat-soluble vitamins
such as vitamin E and K [4,5].
Flaxseed oil
Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids,
which the body cannot produce on its own - therefore, they should be supplied
with food.
Flaxseed oil also contains tocopherols, i.e. components of vitamin E,
with high antioxidant potential [6,7]. Linseed oil is especially recommended
for children with ADHD. After 3 months of using 200 mg of flaxseed oil together
with 25 mg of vitamin C twice a day, improvements in self-control, nervousness
and approach to learning were reported [8].
Evening primrose oil
Evening primrose oil contains a large amount of linoleic and
gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The body is not able to synthesize GLA itself, so
it is beneficial to supply it with food. Interestingly, scientific research has
confirmed that the metabolism of linolenic acid is impaired in children with
atopic dermatitis. That is why it is worth using evening primrose oil
especially in children with atopic dermatitis.
Evening primrose oil also contains other fatty acids - oleic and palmitic and stearic. In addition, we can find in it phytosterols, a protein rich in sulfur amino acids and tryptophan, enzymes, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, magnesium and calcium [9].
Black cumin oil
Black cumin oil is rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs). You can also
find vitamins (A, E, F, B1, B3, B6) and minerals: zinc, selenium, magnesium,
calcium, iron, sodium and potassium. One of the most important ingredients is
thymoquinone, which has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects against
gram-positive bacteria and staphylococci and gram-negative bacteria:
Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Escherichia coli
