Give it to your kids? Results?
Anybody ever given it to kid with ADD and seen an great results?

Enzyme extractions from fish organs is pretty sexy; no doubt about that! The short paragraphs below might provide solutions to your concerns.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.
Levels of CoQ10 in the body can be increased by taking CoQ10 supplements, although it is not clear that replacing "low CoQ10" is beneficial. Researchers think antioxidants, such as flavonoids or a substance called resveratrol, have promising heart-healthy benefits.
Antioxidants aren't the only substances in red wine that look promising. The alcohol in red wine also appears to be heart healthy.
We all need the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil for long-term health and to reduce our risks of heart disease, cancer, decrease inflammation and enhance mood. If you're healthy, you're better off getting omega-3s not by a fish oil supplement but by eating at least three servings per week of oily fish (wild Alaskan salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring). Avoid carnivorous fish such as swordfish and marlin, which spend a lot of time in coastal waters where pollution levels are highest; bluefish, which tend to concentrate mercury; and albacore tuna, which may harbor the same pollutants as swordfish and marlin.

I give them to my daughter too - I punch a little hole in the capsules and squeeze it into applesauce or yogurt, she doens't taste it.

I'll warn you - either get a flavored one, OR take something with it like vit. C or you will get 'fishy burps' and those aren't pleasant!! I take a coQ10 with mine - that's another supplement that is great for you.


I use the Life Extension brand - I have to order them online, but they are worth it. I did try the nordic naturals, and also blue ice - both are great companies and offer flavored options, but I just favor the life extension ones for some reason.

I've seen research that says that fish oil is great for kid with ADD/ADHD, autisum, etc - I'll try to dig some up for you. I've heard that a gluten-free diet works well for ADHD too, that's harder to 'do' but might be worth it if the problems are really severe and you don't want to go the medicine route....

let me see if I can dig up my research and I'll PM you with some links later on...

That would be great, Thank you. I did some research and it said the fish oil caps help ADD children to focus and think better, which is what I am interested in.
