May Relieve Symptoms of ADHD in Children
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral disorder with symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Some studies showed that children with ADHD [1] have low blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Also, various older studies show that omega-3 supplements could help reduce the symptoms of ADHD. Studies also show that omega-3s may help improve inattention and task completion. They might also reduce aggression, restlessness, and hyperactivity.
However, more studies need to be done to understand the effects of omega-3 supplementation on ADHD symptoms
May Relieve Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a group of diseases. It usually includes central obesity, also known as belly fat, and high blood pressure, high triglycerides, high blood sugar, and low HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It is a serious public health concern because it is known to increase the risk of other medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease. Some research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids could help improve blood sugar levels, inflammation, and heart disease risk factors in people with metabolic syndrome.
