Are Omega-3s Helpful for Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities?

Are Omega-3 useful in cases of dyslexia and learning disabilities?

Polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids play a fundamental role in regulating the production of eicosanoids (organic substances capable of influencing the endocrine system and the central nervous system).

They also have a very important structural role in the central nervous system. Among the various Omega-3s, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) stands out as one of the main components of the myelin sheath of nerve cells. In some individuals, dietary deficiency of DHA can lead to various disorders:

  • dyslexia
  • dyspraxia
  • anxiety
  • hyperactivity

Adequately supplementing a child's diet with VitaDHA, a product high in this fatty acid, can reduce these problems. Each sachet provides 1250 milligrams. VitaDHA is the only product in liquid form, making it easy to administer to children either alone or mixed with food and drinks. Thanks to the liquid formulation and very high DHA content, it was chosen as a therapy by Dr. Michele Germano, who uses it with excellent results in most children affected by these problems. Michele Germano is an internationally renowned child neuropsychiatrist, specialist in the treatment of ADHD disorders (attention deficit and hyperactivity syndrome) at the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia). He successfully treats particularly difficult ADHD cases with VitaDHA liquid at a dose of 1 sachet per day. You can contact him directly for any doubts or questions about the most suitable approach in your case:
