ADHD Teens Calmed by Omega 3
Supplements of omega-3 and omega-6 oils could improve the behaviour and the attention span of teens with ADHD, say English researchers.
A new study supplemented 20 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 15 with omega-3 fish oils. Over 90% of the teenages were assessed to have moderate to severe ADHD.
After 3 months of taking Omega-3's their inattentiveness anfell from an average of 94% to 17% at the end of the trial. The results for impulsivity fell from 89% to 28%.
This trial not a blind study, instead was open and all the participants knew they were taking Omega-3's.
