Smarter Kids

This is the point which catapulted Omega-3 into the limelight. Can it help make you or your kids more intelligent?

The value of fish oil has been recognised for centuries. Pure cod liver oil was often used when I was young, many people belived in the benefits it brought.

Developments in recent years has been research into the effects of Omega-3 on the brain. The brain is 60% fat and needs Omega-3 to work properly. In particular, Omega-3 fats appear to help your brain deal with thoughts and reactions quickly and efficiently. Omega-3 fats are even thought to help with depression and dementia.

Fish oil is found in abundance in herrings, mackerel, tuna, eels, salmon and lampreys.

Fish oil supplements and even cod liver oil supplements can be obtained without potentially damaging quantities of vitamin A being present, the manufacturers have found ways of reducing this to safe levels.
