Omegas improve reading in children

A study published in 2017 in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, found that the effects of EPA and DHA (found in fish oil) and gamma linolenic acid (found in plant seeds such as hemp and evening primrose) can improve reading in children. The randomised controlled trial found that three months of of omega 3/6 treatment improved reading abilities of mainstream children aged 9 to 10 compared to placebo, with particular significance in boys. Furthermore children with ADHD symptoms displayed greater improvements in visual analysis and reading speed. Increasing fatty acids (DHA and EPA) improves children's brain health and cognition.
