Autism & Asperger's Syndrome
Autistic and Asperger's children have been found to be particularly deficient in Omega 3 fatty acids having lower levels in their red blood cells than other children. Numerous scientific trials show
that supplementation with fish oils improves their language development and learning skills.
A recent clinical trial by Louise Patrick, SLP and Ronald Salik, MD assessed eight developmental parameters of children on days 0, 45, and 90 of fish oil supplementation. Results showed that all
children displayed significan increases in their language and learning skills based on the ABLLS (p-value <0.0044).
ADHD
Omega 3 fatty acids have also been shown to be effective in developmental behavioral dysfunction in children. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1995 reported that 53%
of children with ADHD had significantly lower concentrations of Omega 3 fatty acids than the control children.

Child Brain Development
- The importance of DHA in the development of the infant brain during pregnancy and the neonatal period is now widely recognized:
- DHA and AA (Arachidonic Acid) are essential for the correct development of the fetal brain and mental ability. Neural development and eye function may be adversely affected by inadequate supply
(The British Nutrition Foundation)
- 11% of the weight of the brain is the fatty acid DHA
- Experts now agree that intake of the guideline 0.5-1.8g per day of EPA/DHA is of absolute importance during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Clinical Evidence:
- Supplementation of DHA and arachidonic acid to formula milk fed to infants for four months produced a significant increase in measurable blood levels of DHA and also a significant improvement
of cognitive function at 18 months. (Birsh et al, Dev.Med.Child Neurol.,2000)
- Supplementation of DHA to breastfeeding mothers for four months following birth improved parameters of cognitive function such as vocabulary and comprehension in the infants.(Clin.Nutr.,2002)
- Mental Alertness, Cognitive Function, and Depression:
- The fish oil fatty acids, EPA and DHA, have recently been found to be heavily involved in the regulation of mood and behavior. This is logical given that these fatty acids are the building
blocks of brain and nerve cells, and hance their relative concentration in our neural cells is highly likely to affect both our mood and behavior.
Individuals suffering from depression have significantly lower levels of DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids.
Populations with higher consumption of fish have lower rates of depression than those with lower consuption
Studies have shown that Alzheimer's disease in the elderly is more common in people with low blood levels of DHA
