Omega-3 dosage for 4 year old child with dyspraxia?

What is the recommended Omega-3 dosage for a 4-and-a-half-year-old child with dyspraxia? Thank you, Katia

Dear Katia,

An important clinical study conducted on children aged 5 to 12 with attention disorders demonstrated that supplementation with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and Omega-6 (GLA: gamma-linolenic acid) led to significant improvements in reading skills, behavior, and spelling abilities.

After three months, the researchers concluded that fatty acid supplementation could be a safe and effective alternative in treating children with behavioral disorders. In any case, supplementation should be supervised by a specialist physician, who can monitor and assess progress over time.

I hope this information has been helpful. I remain at your disposal for any further questions or clarifications, and I send my best wishes for your son.

Kind regards,
