Dyslexia, what supplement at 8 years old?
Dear Sonia,
The dyslexia of your youngest child could benefit from supplementation with Omegor Mind. Although it contains lower doses of Omega-3 EPA and DHA, Omegor Mind also contains omega-6 GLA, a clinically tested extract of Bacopa monnieri – Bacomind, optimal levels of all B-group vitamins, zinc, and vitamin C. It is particularly because of Bacomind that I recommend Omegor Mind for dyslexia:
The Bacopa extract used in Omegor Mind was tested for 4 months on children with learning disorders – not only dyslexia – aged between 4 and 18 years: this extract showed improvements in various memory-related functions:
- working memory, logical memory, personal life memory, visual and auditory memory.
- The dosage used in that study (225 mg/day) corresponds to the amount of Bacomind present in 2 capsules of Omegor Mind. The recommended dose is exactly 2 capsules per day to be taken with a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner).
Omegor Mind is certainly advisable if you want to support your child's learning abilities and may prove useful in cases of dyslexia. Additionally, it provides the most useful nutrients for the energy utilization of food.
Dyslexia and attention deficits, better different supplements
Regarding M., the most useful product is instead VitaDHA liquid, a dietary supplement in single-dose vials of fish oil. Each vial of VitaDHA provides a high dose of DHA – the fatty acid most present in the nervous system and therefore more indicated in cases of attention deficits and to support concentration.
- When optimal amounts of DHA are present in cell membranes, they are in a more fluid state, releasing chemical messengers more quickly into the synaptic space, and electrical signals pass more easily from one neuron to another;
- brain cells whose membranes are rich in DHA therefore seem to communicate more quickly with each other.
- I recommend 1 vial per day, taking the oil as is or mixed with yogurt, smoothies, or cold or warm dishes.
- The minimum supplementation period in these cases is 2-3 months and can be extended based on individual needs and requirements.
I remain available for further questions.
