Re:? ? Cod Liver Oil ? ? Probiotics ? ?

[Guest guest]

The essential fatty acids (EFAs) in fish oils are some of the

building blocks of the nervous system. There is discussion as to

whether different ratios of DHA to EPA is better for children with

speech or behavioral issues. I give my son ProEFA by Nordic Naturals

which is fish oil, but not from cod liver. I also give him

probiotics - these are just good for overall digestive health and

help control yeast which has been associated with autism symptoms.

Here are some articles I had bookmarked on fish oils and behavior:

These document an assocation between ADHD and a deficit of EFAs:
