"omega 3 is the raw material for our brain"

Brain is about 60% fat by weight, DHA(one of the two essential fatty acids that form the fish oil omega 3, for more see my page What is Omega 3 ) is the most abundant fat in the brain.

A lot of the fat found in brain is in the cell membranes of the neurons and in the protective myelin sheath that covers them. The types and proportions of fats in the cell membranes determine how effectively the brain cells communicate. If an adult is deficient in the right fats, his brain does not function optimally, and if a child is deficient, the brain does not develop nor function optimally.

Imagine a child learning math. The act of learning makes the brain to form new neural connections. DHA is needed, especially for the delicate neural synapses which are composed entirely of DHA. This child, like the vast majority of U.S. children, eats almost no Omega-3 fatty acids. What does the brain do? Again, it struggles and finally uses other types of fats, which are the wrong shape: Trans Fats or omega 6.

Low levels of DHA have been associated with depression, memory loss, dementia, and visual problems. DHA is particularly important for fetuses and infants; the DHA content of the infant's brain triples during the first three months of life. Optimal levels of DHA are therefore crucial for pregnant and lactating mothers. Unfortunately, the average DHA content of breast milk in the United States is the lowest in the world, most likely because Americans eat comparatively little fish.

I would recommend that you start to educate yourself in nutrition and ADHD. Your childīs present and future health is in your hands. This means that the whole family will have to change its diet.

I would bet that you eat a lot of fast/processed food, breads, pizzas, cookies, sodas, sugar, etc at home. All that is poison for your child’s brain. I would also bet that you donīt exercise and that your child is not getting the several hours of play a day he needs. He may be spending a lot of time in front of the tv,

Now, for your question. When you give him omega 3, 6 and 9 in one pill you are doing more harm than good. What your child needs is more omega 3, that is the raw material for the brain. No more omega 6 and omega 9, we get more than enough in the diet.
