Omega 3 For ADHD Child
by Mary
(Canada)
I've read online that Omega 3 supplements can vastly improve an ADHD child's quality of life and attention span. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer not to medicate my child after hearing the side effects from friends, family, the internet, etc..
Thanks.
Answer:
You see, omega 3 is not a magic bullet to end ADHD but it sure is going to make your child’s brain to work better. It should be taken not only children with this disorder but ALL children since it makes you neurological system to operate at its best, whatever modern nature has given you.
In order to get some improvements with ADHD you will have to give him good amounts of omega 3 (6-10 grams per day, that is why it is better to use liquid fish oil. Not that many pills to swallow) and diminish the omega 6 in his diet (breads, pastas, cookies, sodas, sweets, etc). Also the guy needs lots of play and exercise, minimum TV. It is an overall formula that may get difficult to evaluate.
Sure it’s easier to give him a toxic pill to cover the symptoms and forget it.

P.S. Don’t forget your daily fish oil for your entire family and always take along an antioxidant, like vitamin E, to prevent oxidation inside your body. You can find omega 3 fish oil, molecularly distilled, free of impurities sent anywhere in the world at low reasonable price, Click here
