Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Several well-controlled studies have found small but significant benefits for children diagnosed with ADHD from dietary supplementation using polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).8 Using omega-3 fatty acid supplements, positive treatment effects were found regarding both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms. For children who were already taking stimulant medication, PUFA supplementation did not add much extra in terms of symptom reduction. The thinking at present, therefore, is that PUFAs may be more useful when medication treatment is not providing good results.9
