Fish Oils For Autism – How Taking The Right Fish Oils For Autism

There has been much discussion about fish oils for autism and the results of recent research show how this oil can really help to improve in many areas of an autistic child’s development. Let’s look at how it works and how to select the most effective and safe one.

Scientists have discovered that over two-thirds of those with the condition, which restricts the ability to communicate and make sense of the world, have a deficiency in crucial omega 3 fatty acids which quality fish oils for autism can replace.

It is now known that omega 3 fatty acids play a key role in the health of our children’s neurological development. The two main ones are DHA and EPA and it is now accepted that DHA is responsible for most of the health benefits.

Our brains are composed of over 30% DHA fats to illustrate just how important they are and it is estimated that over 90% of us are deficient in them as we cannot manufacture them ourselves so it must come from our diet.

In a recent study by two American researchers (Patrick-Salik), children diagnosed with autism were given a daily supplement of fish oil/borage oil for 90 days. At the end of 90 days, the children on the fish oil supplements showed significant improvements in their language and learning abilities.

Trials like these and the results many parents have found show just how important fish oils for autism really are, even though more research is needed.

They have already been proven to significantly improve brain health and mental well-being in adults, and with autistic kids the main ones are noticeable improvements in speech and comprehension, better sleep patterns, and less hyperactivity and anxiety.

Obviously every child is individual so whilst many parents see an improvement, some may not.

I have been an avid fan and researcher of fish oils for a long time and when my own three year old son was diagnosed with mild autism some months ago, he went straight onto these oils as you can imagine!

I noticed after about six weeks of taking a daily supplement his speech and how he was using the words was much improved as was his general ability to make sense of what was going on around him, and it was nice when family and friends also commented on this.

One of the hurdles I see facing parents is how to give your child these supplements. The one I use is extremely pure and has only a faint ocean aroma so as my son will not swallow pills, I simply cut one open and put it in his morning juice which works great, and you can put them into their food too.

I personally do not use special ones for kids as they tend not to be as good and have many additives to make them more palatable. A high amount of DHA is vital and I would recommend at least 250 mg of DHA per capsule, twice the amount of EPA.

Also ensure they have undergone molecular distillation to remove all the impurities like lead and mercury to make the fish oils for autism totally safe otherwise your child may be ingesting these harmful toxins.

There is no doubt in my mind that high quality pure and safe fish oils for autism can really help to improve the quality of life for these children and with all the other health benefits they bring, it’s no wonder they are so popular.
