The research on omega-3s and children’s learning, sleep and development is FASCINATING!
Researchers have been investigating what happens when children are given omega-3 supplements, and some of the findings are incredible!
• Improvements in READING, SPELLING & BEHAVIOUR
• Sleep improvements (sleeping LONGER at night and waking less frequently!)
• Improvements in certain behavioural and attention difficulties
BABIES’ BRAINS & EYES
DHA is a major structural component of the brain AND the retina of the eye!
It accumulates rapidly during pregnancy and early childhood, when the brain is developing at an extraordinary rate.
ARE CHILDREN GETTING ENOUGH?!
One UK study found that 91% of children sampled had DHA intakes below the researchers’ reference level!
WHY MIGHTY KIDS OMEGA-3?

THE STUDIES:
The Oxford-Durham Study (2005) found significant improvements in reading, spelling and behaviour after 3 months of omega-3 and omega-6 supplementation in children with developmental coordination disorder.
In the Oxford Sleep Study (2014), a small group of children taking 600 mg DHA daily for 16 weeks slept approximately 58 MINUTES LONGER per night and woke less frequently!
The Raine et al. Study (2015) found significant reductions in parent-reported behavioural difficulties in children aged 8–16 following 6 months of omega-3 supplementation!
A meta-analysis (2011) involving 699 children with ADHD found small but significant improvements in attention and hyperactivity, although research findings vary.
Of course, every child is different. We could never promise the same results for every child.
But what we DO know is that omega-3s are incredibly important nutrients for ALL growing children!
