Kids fish oil

A daily dose of omega 3 fish oil is sometimes better at treating hyperactivity or ADD in kids than prescription drugs which are linked to the deaths of kids - stunning research has revealed.

Naturecol’s all natural omega 3 fish oil can vastly improve kid's behavior without any of the side-effects of Ritalin and related drugs.

The controversial can cause heart problems, dizziness and insomnia and have been blamed for the deaths of nine kids in the UK and dozens more in the US .

A new study provides a natural alternative for kids - and gives fresh hope to the parents of the 30,000 British kids prescribed Ritalin and similar medicines.

Doctors have been accused by experts of being too quick to boost the sales of large drug companies by writing out prescriptions - and urging parents to look into the value of improving their kids omega 3 diet with omega 3 fish oil.

Last year, a clinical study showed that omega 3 fish oil can improve the brainpower and concentration of hyperactive kids.

The latest findings are the first to show that omega 3 fish oil may be better than medication at treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in kids and adults.

Australian researchers looked at the effect of  high grade pure omega 3 fish oil capsules on a group of seven to 12-year-old kids with ADHD.

Some kids were given the omega 3 fish oil capsules, while other kids took a placebo or dummy capsule.

Within three months, the behavior of the kids on the omega 3 fish oils had dramatically improved and, by seven months, many of the kids were less restless and doing better at school.

The most striking improvement was in concentration and attention, which improved by a third.

When the kids taking the dummy capsules switched to the omega 3 fish oils, they also saw their behavior improve.  



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Researcher Natalie Sinn (CORR) said: 'Many of those who had kids who showed improvements commented that their kids were calmer, were doing better at school and were able to concentrate longer and were therefore reading more.

Overall, 30 to 40 per cent of kids over 15 weeks and 40 to 50 per cent of  kids over 30 weeks had improvements.

She added that week on week improvements were still being seen at the end of the study - suggesting the results of an even longer course of treatment, may be even more dramatic.

The researchers also compared their results to those from studies of Ritalin  and found omega 3 fish oils are more effective on kids and adults.

The number of hyperactive kids on medication is soaring, with a staggering 330,000 prescriptions written out each year, or 6,350 a week.

Nine British kids have died after taking perscription drugs. Two died of heart problems, while others suffered illnesses including strokes and swelling of the brain. Dr Timimi, a consultant kid and adolescent psychiatrist at Lincolnshire NHS Trust, said Drugs like Ritalin have considerable dangers associated with them, including insomnia, changes in personality and cardio toxicity. They are bad for the heart and can cause heart attacks, strokes and sudden death. Omega 3 fish oil is a safe way to solve this problem.

Nick Giovannelli (CORR), of the Hyperactive kid's Support Group, urged parents to consider using omega 3 fish oil to Ritalin.

New studies add to the mounting evidence that nutrition is safer and more effective than stimulant medication.

Other studies have shown that omega 3 fish oil is also effective in kids without ADHD or learning difficulties, boosting their focus and improving their grades.
