I’m no doc, but looking for a magic number of correct dosage isn’t likely to fix us all. I believe it’s more of a moderated approach and a healthy diet approach, rather than looking for a magic bullet. If there was one, it probably would have been found by now. My impression is that an appropriate amount of O-3 fatty acids can help learning disabled kids a bit, and may also deflect some of the co-morbidites such as impulsive oppositional defiant disorder. AND it seems to work where other meds do not help, so that IS a positive.
“This study indicated that raising DHA levels was the key factor. However, it may not be necessary to focus on a high DHA to EPA product. A fish oil providing a more balanced level, e.g., 2:1 EPA to DHA ratio may have shown similar results to the high DHA oil. A dosage of 3,000 mg of such a ratio would provide the same dosage of DHA used in the study.
