Dyslexia, which supplement at age 8?

Dear Sonia,

her youngest child's dyslexia may find benefit in supplementing with Omegor Mind. While containing lower dosages of Omega-3 EPA and DHA, Omegor Mind also contains omega-6 GLA, a clinically tested Bacopa monnieri extract-Bacomind, optimal levels of all B Vitamins, zinc and vitamin C. It is specifically because of Bacomind that I recommend Omegor Mind for dyslexia:


The Bacopa extract used in Omegor Mind was tested for 4 months on children with learning disorders-not just dyslexia-with an age range of 4 to 18 years: this extract was shown to cause improvement in various memory-related functions:

- working memory, logical memory, memory related to personal life, visual and auditory memory.

- The dosage used in this study (225 mg/day) corresponds to the dosage of Bacomind found in 2 capsules of Omegor Mind. The recommended dose is precisely 2 capsules per day to be taken at a meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner).

Omegor Mind is definitely advisable if you want to support your child's learning abilities and may prove useful in cases of dyslexia. It also provides the most useful nutrients for energy utilization of food.



Dyslexia and attentional deficits, better different integrations


As for M.,the most useful product, however, is. VitaDHA liquid, a dietary supplement in single-dose vials of fish oil. Each vial of VitaDHA provides a high dosage of DHA-the fatty acid most present at the level of the nervous system and for this reason most indicated in cases of attentional deficits and to support concentration.

- When optimal amounts of DHA are present in cell membranes, they are in a more fluid state, release chemical messengers more rapidly into the synaptic space, and electrical signals pass more easily from one neuron to another;

- Brain cells whose membranes are rich in DHA therefore appear to communicate more rapidly with each other.

- I recommend 1 vial daily by having the oil taken as is or mixed with yogurt, smoothies or cold or lukewarm dishes.ù

- The minimum integration period in these cases is 2-3 months, and can be extended according to individual needs and requirements.


I remain available for further questions.
