<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Proven Benefits
According to researchers from the University of South Australia and Queensland University of Technology, daily fish oil supplementation may minimize symptoms of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in children and adults. ADHD-afflicted children given an omega-3 fish oil supplement over three months showed significant improvements in spelling, reading and behavior.
On the Other: Results Unproven
Research on fish oil treatment for those struggling with ADHD is still unclear. Fish oil treatment is controversial, and there is no agreement about how much is effective. Most physicians prescribe it alongside medication. More studies still need to be conducted.
Bottom Line
Children should take 1 gram of fish oil per day. Adults should take 3 to 4 grams of fish oil per day. Always consult your physician to discuss any treatment plan and determine correct dosage.
