Improvements in ADHD with Fish Oil
Severe ADHD and impulsivity symptoms showed dramatic improvements with fish oil supplements in teenagers. Durham County Council’s senior education psychologist, Dr Madeleine Portwood, ran a trial on 25 teenagers who had been rated with moderate to severe ADHD and impulsivity symptoms with a combination of omega-3 fish and omega-6 evening primrose oil over a period of three monthsFull Article
94% of these students aged 12 to 15 also had a high rating of inattention.
When these teenagers were assessed again there was a significant improvement in their behavior. It was found that severe ADHD and severe impulsivity had dropped to 28 percent and severe inattention fell to about 17 percent in this group.
What happened to that saying in schools that "we are what we eat"?
