SubscribeA study out of the University of Adelaide, to be published in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, shows that omega 3 fish oil may be better than Ritalin at treating Attention Deficit Disorder.
Within 3 months of treatment with the fish oil capsules, the children started to show signs of improvement, and by 7 months, many of them were doing better at school.
“The most striking improvement was in concentration or attention, which improved by a third.”
There have actually been a number of studies done over the past several years looking at the effectiveness of omega 3 oils in treating attention deficit disorder. Many of these do show a positive effect in a subset of people with the disorder.
