The 3-month open-label study provided 18 children, ranging from 3 to 10 years of age. with daily supplemental EFAs in the form of Complete Omega™, a fish oil-based EFA product from Nordic Naturals. Complete Omega (ProEFA™ in the professional line) is a combination of omega-3 EFAs from purified fish oil and omega-6 EFAs from purified borage oil. The children were evaluated for increases in language ability by stud}- investigators on day "0" and day "90" of supplementation: an adult who was familiar with the child also conducted an evaluation at day "45." Language and learning skills were assessed using the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills.
All of the children displayed significant increases in their language and learning skills after supplementation with Complete Omega. Statistical analysis, which was completed at the University of Arizona, demonstrated that the increase in scores from day 0 to day 90 in each of the 8 areas measured had high statistical significance. The investigators also noted the importance offish oil purity and of beginning with the lowest possible dose for this population.
Ms. Patrick observed. "We feel that the impressive results of this study support the importance for design and implementation of future studies using larger sample size and placebo-controlled formats."

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
