Behavioral disorders and attention deficit: which supplement for a 6-year-old child?
Dear Silvia,
In agreement with your primary care physician's opinion, I recommend trying VitaDHA liquid in single-dose vials, a dietary supplement based on fish oil rich in omega-3 DHA.
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain and visual functions, with a daily intake of 250 milligrams; this polyunsaturated fatty acid is found in high concentrations in neuron membranes, where it plays an essential structural and functional role for growth and signal transmission between brain cells. These effects likely underlie the beneficial role that DHA exerts in children and adolescents affected by behavioral disorders and attention deficits.
Several studies on this topic have found a link between omega-3 supplementation and the reduction of ADHD symptoms, a disorder characterized by difficulties in attention, concentration, and impulse control. In this regard, I suggest reading one of the in-depth articles published on our blog.
One vial of VitaDHA liquid contains 1450 milligrams of DHA and 330 milligrams of EPA, easily absorbed by the body because they are in the form of natural triglycerides. The product has a pleasant taste and can be consumed as is or added to drinks, yogurt, smoothies, juices, and fresh fruit drinks. Please remember that dietary supplements are not a therapy, but only a nutritional support.
Best regards,
