Omega 3

We started Aidan on an Omega 3 supplement nearly a year before his move to Junior school, and didnt notice any obvious difference.

Then the SENCO suggested that we might try a supplement with a higer dose of Omega 3. We followed the suggestion, and waited. Everyone seems to think that it usually takes over 6 months for the supplements to have their full impact.

I have always wondered about this one, as Aidan loves fish, and we have always had fresh fish atleast once a week, alongside a very varied and healthy diet.

However I am willing to give anything a go, although it would be much nicer if the supplements were free on prescription, rather than having to come out of our wallet.

It was later at the DRT that Dr Sue gave us the more specific guidelines about the high dose that was more likely to make a difference. He has been on these for a while, and I still would not like to say if they have made any difference. However we are covering all our bases and continuing to give him his daily dose.

He currently had a liquid Omega 3 supplement from Boots which he likes the taste of, and which he only needs to take 5 ml of per day to meet the requirements set out at the DRT.
