Lack of concentration, which supplement do you recommend for my child?

Hello, I am the mother of an 8-year-old boy who has always shown hyperactivity since preschool, although pediatricians and teachers have always said he was within the norm of a lively child. Starting school, we realized he has attention problems and consulted a psychotherapist. Her report highlighted that he currently does not have specific learning disorders but is borderline in attention regarding dyscalculia. It emerged that he has difficulties with memory and concentration. I would like to know if supplementation with Omega-3 and B vitamins could help him. We are having great difficulty managing the situation. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.

Dear Claudia,

According to numerous studies, the consumption of omega-3, especially DHA, is associated with an improvement in behavior and symptoms related to memory deficit and concentration ability in children showing learning difficulties. This happens because DHA is present in very high amounts in the cell membranes of neurons, promoting their fluidity and communication. 

If your pediatrician also agrees, the most suitable product for your child is VitaDHA in single-dose vials, a supplement rich in very high-quality fish oil. Each vial contains about 2000 milligrams total of omega-3, of which 1450 mg is DHA and 330 mg is EPA. 

The recommended dose for VitaDHA is 1 vial per day, consumed as is or mixed with yogurt, smoothies, or cold or warm drinks. Please remember that dietary supplements should not be considered a therapy but only nutritional support.
