Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I am confused. My son seems to have problems that might be helped by omega 3 supplementation but I don't know what to buy. I have seen oils that are just cod liver oil, some like from ChildLife that have Omega 3/6/9 and others that say EFA/DHA. I probably shouldn't be confused but I am. Does anybody else out there have a little one with agression/behavior issues maybe ADHD that are using these oils? If so, what do you use? I don't know whether to think he's getting enough omega 6s and just supplement with omega 3 or what. Plus, is cod liver oil just omega 3? Please help. Also, my son is 2 and I want to use a liquid as I've tried the chewable capsules before and he hates them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Venalda, My daughter is ADHD/PDD-NOS (3 1/2 yrs old). My husband did our research and we found that the best recommended balance to address the ADHD was 4:1 EPA/DHA. The one that comes with the highest recommendation is Nordic Naturals EPA (2 gelcaps = 1000mg). We've now switched over to Carlson brand EPA Gems, which has approximately the same ratio at about half the price. We have seen tremendous improvements with my daughter's ability to focus & remain calm/follow instructions/etc. Over the Christmas break I dropped her back to 1 gelcap for 2 weeks and she was nuts again by January, so I moved her back up. I squeeze it into a small cup of Orange Juice each morning -- Vitamin C is also very good for the absorption. When we started it took about a month to start seeing results, but when I dropped back it only took two weeks to get her back on track. It does not necessarily work this well for everyone, but it is certainly worth a try for the Attention part of this equation. They're much more receptive to training if they're calm enough & focused enough to make sense of you. > > I am confused.
