A daily supplement of omega-3 fish oil can reduce hyperactivity in children more effectively than commonly prescribed drugs, new research suggests. An Australian study measured the effects of eye q, a supplement of omega-3 fish oil and omega-6 evening primrose oil, on 132 children with ADHD. For 15 weeks the children were split, with one group taking eye q and another a placebo. Then, for a further 15 weeks, all took eye q.
