Will fish oil help with learning problems 11 year old son?

Question:
My son is 11 years old. Is it true that fish oil helps with learning difficulties?

Answer:
It’s indeed suggested often that children become calmer from fish oil and can also study better. I do not know whether this has been confirmed with well-designed scientific research. However, it can not hurt to try it.

The fatty acids in fish are essential for the proper functioning of the human body and not everyone gets enough of it. If your son does not eat fatty fish then a fish oil capsule is a good alternative. A good dose is one capsule per day.
