You may recall reading several months ago about the dramatic and wonderful effect krill oil had on a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This recently completed study of krill oil and adult patients with ADHD appears to be just as promising. This study also confirms my initial excitement with krill when I first became aware of it a bit more than a year ago. The phosphate bonding to the omega-3 fats allow for really outstanding penetration into the nervous tissue and tends to produce even better results than simple omega-3 fats. Many of the standard drugs used to treat ADHD are not only potentially hazardous, but they are unnecessary if your child is treated appropriately. I've found many people with ADHD have improved greatly without drugs by taking these simple steps: Eliminate grains and sugars from your diet Replace soft drinks, fruit juices and pasteurized milk with clean water Increase your omega-3 fats by taking krill oil The omega-3 fats in krill oil are bonded uniquely to protect them from oxidation so your body can absorb them more easily. This makes it an especially good source. On Vital Votes, Joshua Rubin, a nutrition coach from Vista, California, notes: "Tissue growth process depends on the construction of new biological membranes. Once in place, these membranes become a source of supply for fatty acids that regulate cell function. Thus the fatty acid composition of tissues laid down in childhood determines the status of your adult years. "The growth and development of the CNS is dependent upon the presence of long chain highly unsat fatty acids DPA and DHA. It is important for mothers to ingest quality fats and organic foods while pregnant. "As well, if a child is labeled with ADHD, eating quality oils and foods, as well as eliminating other foods and lifestyle habits can allow these children to live a functional life."
