HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Children's Vegetarian DHA+ Formula by CATALO
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This powder contains three active ingredients. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid are omega fatty acids that support brain and eye development in children.
The product also includes a vegetarian algae extract (Life's DHA+ARA) as the plant source for these fatty acids, and FloraGLO marigold extract, which delivers lutein — a nutrient for eye health. There are no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We don't hold effectiveness ratings for the ingredients in this product, so the evidence supporting its use isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
FloraGLO marigold extract, the only ingredient we have safety information for, is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in food amounts. No adverse effects have been reported at higher doses, though a full safety review hasn't been done.
The safety data advises against medicinal or essential oil use of marigold during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. We don't have safety information on file for the DHA, arachidonic acid, or the algae extract — talk with your pediatrician about those if you have concerns.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product. However, we couldn't verify the safety profile of docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid, so use the medication checker on this page to confirm your child's prescriptions are clear.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a vegetarian source of DHA and arachidonic acid for children's brain and eye development, plus lutein for eye health. Since we're missing interaction data on two ingredients, check your child's medications with our tool before starting.
Chat with your pediatrician if your child has any health conditions or is on prescription drugs.
