Here is an update on what is currently happening in the realm of ADHD-info highlights from one of our experts (Ph.D Biochemistry, author of over 100 studies accepted for publication):
Currently, 10-12% of American children are diagnosed with ADHD. This is around 6 million children with a cost to taxpayers of over $45 billion. (One study showed an increase of 67% between 1997 and 2015.)
An estimated 65% of children with ADHD are taking meds to control their symptoms. Unfortunately, those meds don’t work for 20-40% of them. Worse, these meds have serious side effects: delayed growth, sleep disorders, nausea & stomach pains, headaches….and teach kids drugs are the answer for our problems.
Parents are looking for more natural solutions and Omega 3s can be one piece of the puzzle.
In looking at several studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals it was found children, 4-17 yrs. with ADHD, are deficient in these nutrients. When given these nutrients, their attention span was helped significantly . When given a good amount, daily, it also helped hyperactivity.
All Omega products are not created equal. Most are not full spectrum and have all the parts of Omega 3. Quality control is also a big factor as these supplements are famous for being contaminated with some very harmful toxins. We have gone the extra 10 miles looking at safety and proper processing.
