Omega Fish Oil And Boosting Children's Brain Power

An article published by the BBC reported fish oils can help children in school.

A year ago Elliot (9) was falling behind in his schoolwork, particularly reading – which he found a struggle.

Over the past year Elliot has been taking part in a scientific study on more than 100 children from 12 Durham Schools. The children took a course of fish oil capsules with their meals for the duration of 6 months.

A dramatic change has taken place in Elliot. He has soared through the Harry Potter books and now heads to the library after the school bell has sounded. “His reading jumped 18 months [over the trial period]. He’s just a lot more interested in everything. He’s even developed an interest in classical music,” says Sheila, Elliot’s mother.

Mark, 10, who is in the year above Elliot at Timothy Hackworth School in Shildon, Durham, experienced similar changes.

Omega 3s and another group called Omega 6s belong to a family of fats known as essential fatty acids. The right balance of these two types of fatty acids is important for the healthy functioning of many parts of the body
