- Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce symptoms of ADHD in children (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder).
- With Omega 3 supplementation, some children have had improved academic performance when they have previously struggled to learn.
- There have also been animal studies that have suggested that omega 3s might help decrease memory loss of people who are older
- Omega 3 fatty acids have been found to have an anti-inflammatory property that can help with neck pain and rheumatoid arthritis
- Women who ate fish containing omega 3s during their first trimester had over 3 times less risk of low birth weight and premature birth.

There used to be concern that the fish oils sold for consumption, even in gels, contained heavy metals that were dangerous to your portable defibrillator However, the fish oil industry has taken many steps to improve this and ensure they are safe. You can contact the maker of the supplement you are considering and ask about the current safety of their fish oil or fish oil gels.

Beyond supplements, the most widely available source of omega 3s are cold water fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines. Other fish such as tuna also contain omega-3 in somewhat lesser amounts.

Some people, particularly vegetarians and people who are concerned about the mercury and other heavy metal content, choose to take flax seed oil supplements instead of fish oil. However, while flax seed oil is six times richer than most fish oils in omega-3, the actual omega 3 chemical in flax seed oil is called ALA (alpha-linolenic defibrillator placement This chemical, in turn must be converted to other forms to be fully effective in the ways mentioned above, and this process is not very efficient, especially as one gets older. Fish oil contains the end-state chemicals already, so no conversion is necessary.

It is clear that there are strong reasons to supplement with omega 3 fatty acids, and more specific benefits are being discovered every day. As always, you should consult with your health care provider before taking a nutritional supplement, so think about asking her or him about omega 3s today.
