Krill Oil Shows Positive Results in Children with ADHD
Lee Swanson Research Update
The good news is that a clinical study involving children with ADHD has demonstrated significant improvements in both clinical scores and in identified electroencephalograph (EEG) patterns, as compared to the typical ADHD EEG pattern.
Eight boys (ages 7-11) with ADHD were supplemented daily with Superba™ Krill Oil for a period of 13 weeks. The EEG patterns for the study participants were compared to a database of more than 400 children with established ADHD diagnosis, providing comparative data.
According to Hogne Vik MD, PhD, "This is an important observation indentifying positive effects on the central nervous system (CNS) after supplementation of krill oil in humans. For the first time objective EEG measurements, before and after a 90-day intervention period with krill oil, have confirmed observed improvements in a clinical CNS condition. The findings in this study will be published and followed up with additional clinical studies in populations at risk for developing CNS disorders."
"It is tempting to focus on the technology and data provided by this breakthrough study," Vik continued. "But the participants’ parents reported significant improvements in attention and behavior, for example. In these kids real health benefits were realized, making this trial particularly satisfying for all involved."
