STUDY PROVES FISH OIL BETTER FOR ADHD THAN DRUGS
According to a recent study by the University of Adelaide in Australia, fish oil improves the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) without any of the dangerous side effects of drugs like Ritalin and Concerta – and more effectively!
130 children between the ages of 7-12 diagnosed with ADHD were given fish oil capsules daily:
1) After 3 months, their behavior dramatically improved
2) After 7 months, the children were not as restless and showed improvements at school
3) Improvements in concentration and attention improved by 1/3
4) After 15 weeks, 30-40% of the children had further improvements
5) After 30 weeks, 40-50% had further improvements
6) Children taking placebo capsules were later switched to fish oil and subsequently experienced improved behavior
7) Improvements continued after the study ended which indicates long term positive effects
8) When researchers compared their results to studies of Ritalin and Concerta for ADHD, they found that fish oils were more effective and have NO DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS
