There is a lot of scientific research trying to establish a relationship between Omega 3 intake (particularly DHA), and Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD/ADHD).

There are several studies supporting the idea that maintaining healthy levels of Omega 3 DHA helps reduce the chances to be clinically diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

It’s important to note that much of the research does not necessarily seek to show that Omega 3 DHA supplements can be used as a treatment to ADD/ADHD (although there is research that supports just that), but rather showing that adults and children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD are likely to also have a lack of Omega 3 fatty acids in their body.
