Evidence of omega-3 related to Developmental Coordination Disorder/Dyspraxia & Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Omega-3 DHA and EPA for  Cognition, Behavior, and Mood: Clinical Findings and Structural- Functional Synergies with Cell  Membrane Phospholipids ( Kidd 2007 ) A double-blind RCT was conducted on 117 children ages 5-12, using a mixed omega-3/omega-6 supplement versus an olive oil placebo. ( Freeman, Hibbeln et al. 2006 ) The supplement was 80-percent fish oil and 20-percent evening primrose oil, with a 4:1 omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. The total daily dose provided 174 mg DHA, 558 mg EPA, and 60 mg omega-6 gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), plus 9.6 mg d-alpha tocopherol.  Although the trial found no significant improvement in motor skills after three months, the researchers did report significant improvements in other areas .   The children who received the omega-3/omega-6 supplement showed 3 times the normal expected gain in readin...

Omega-3s in Childhood Brain Development ( Kidd 2007 ) During the last trimester of fetal life and the first two years of childhood, the brain undergoes a period of rapid growth – the “brain growth spurt.” Nutrient insufficiency during this period can compromise brain function. DHA is one nutrient absolutely required for the development of the sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and motor neural systems during the brain growth spurt. EPA’s importance for the brain’s development in utero is unclear, but colostrum and breast milk contain EPA, albeit in lesser amounts than DHA. The fundamental importance of DHA for brain development is beyond dispute. The neurons are continually forming axons and dendritic extensions with accompanying cell membranes. Growing membrane must be relatively fluid, and DHA is the most fluidizing element in cell membranes. Even the synapses that are the primary functional units of brain circuits are made from membranes preferentially enriched in D...

zinc sangat penting untuk immune system kita, membantu melwan penyakit, membantu kanak-kanak membesar dengan baik kerana usia kanak-kanak ini ialah usia pendedahan kepada pelbagai kuman baru, jadi amat penting untuk kanak-kanak menghasilkan immunity dengan sempurna. Zinc is important for a healthy immune system, properly synthesizing DNA, promoting healthy growth during childhood, and healing wounds. Listed below are zinc's key benefits: Regulating immune function ZINC Zinc is an "essential trace element" because our bodies only need very small amounts of it. According to the  European Journal of Immunology , the human body needs zinc to activate T lymphocytes (T cells). T cells help the body in two ways §   controlling and regulating immune responses §   attacking infected or cancerous cells. Zinc deficiency can severely impair immune system function. According to  a study published in the  American Journal of Clini...
