Fish oil is making the headlines again. It is well known that omega 3 fatty acids are important in brain development and brain cell membrane functioning. Now recent Australian research suggests that omega 3 fatty acids improve reading, writing and spelling in children with ADHD and learning difficulties. Evidence continues to strongly support the benefit of fish oil supplementation for improving cognitive functioning and behavior. This Australian study will include blood testing of fatty acid levels in attempt to establish clearer patterns between dosage and treatment response, as well as relative benefits of the different types of omega 3’s, DHA and EPA. http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/Fish-oil-improves-reading-in-ADHD-kids/2007/06/21/1182019207176.html
