Source: larasatiputri.comWhen it comes to children’s supplements, we can’t seem to rule out Scott’s Emulsion products that have been trusted for more than 140 years. Reportedly this supplement occupies the top three positions market leader in the children’s vitamin category. No wonder if this one product is already so famous.
Reporting from the official website of the company that produces Scott Emulsion, this supplement presents two variants, namely Scott’s Emulsion original (white) and Scott’s Emulsion Vita (orange). The following details the differences between these two supplements.
1. Scott’s Emulsion Original (Putih)
You must remember when we were little our mother gave fish oil that didn’t taste good. Even though there are many benefits to swallowing fish oil capsules, it takes courage because the smell and taste of fish oil makes it difficult for us to swallow it.
Fortunately PT Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) created a supplement made from fish oil with a better taste that we know as Scott’s emulsion. The first Scott’s Emulsion that we know is the original variant, the difference from the orange (vita) Scott’s Emulsion variant can be seen from a number of things.
Scott’s White Emulsion is a daily intake that claims to be nutritious for children’s health. This supplement is in the form of a cod liver oil mixture which contains fatty acids and omega 3 and DHA and EPA, vitamins A and D.
Scott’s Emulsion original prioritizes DHA which is able to help the development of the brain to function properly and the development of the brain and eye health is maintained.
Meanwhile, the vitamins A and D included in Scott’s white Emulsion support normal immune function and healthy growth and development. In Scott’s Emulsion there is also calcium which is useful for the formation of bones and teeth.
Scott’s White Emulsion is also pre-emulsified which means the cod liver oil is broken down into tiny droplets that mix evenly throughout the formulation.
These small droplets in the form of emulsified oil are similar to how we naturally break down oil so that our body claims it becomes easier to digest the nutrients contained in this supplement.
By giving original Scott’s Emulsion to children, you can say that you have helped them grow healthy and smart.

2. Scott’s Emulsion Vita (Orange)
The next variant that makes taking fish oil supplements fun is Scott’s Emulsion vita (orange). This variant of Scott’s Emulsion is made by mixing citrus flavors and aromas so kids will love it.
