Fish Oil Dosage For ADD Treatment

Add Treatment - I am confused about the Omega 3 dosage (eg. 1 gram) compared to the amount of DHA to EPA in the pill, they add up to 1 gram. Also, exactly how much DHA do you need and how much EPA do you need for A.D.D.? I'm desperate to try for myself and my 17 year old son.

Hi Julie:

The idea with omega fish oil for attention deficit disorder is to provide the brain with the raw material to build high quality connections between you brain cells I you have had a low omega 3 diet( please, read Omega 3 Deficiency all your life, it may take a few months with a high omega 3 diet to replace those old brain cells connections with the new fish oil.

It is important to know that the amounts of fish oil can not be exactly established as it varies in individuals and accordingly to the amounts of omega 6 you have in your daily diet.

For example , if you eat a lot of cakes, sugars, processed foods, grains, etc., all high omega 6 foods, it will take a lot more omega 3 to compensate those omega 6 in your diet.

But if you take no grains, eat a lot of protein from free range cattle( high in omega 3), eggs, vegetables, fruits and no processed foods, it may take a lot less fish oil to notice some changes.

If on top of all that you exercise at least 20 minutes a day, you will notice improvements from the first day. You see, it is a combination of factors that affects each individual and it can not be set at specific number of EPA and DHA.

Usually, your fish oil dosage for attention deficit disorder starts at a fairly high level, from 6 to 9 grams (which means from 1080 mg of EPA and 720 of DHA to 1620 mg of EPA and 1080 mg of DHA. We are assuming your fish oil has 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA for each fish oil capsule).
