Dyslexia and school difficulties: how to help my 14-year-old son?

Dear Enza,

numerous researches have reported how children with school difficulties can improve their reading behavior through omega-3 consumption, and that deficiency of these fatty acids in the blood is associated with low performance, as reported in an article published in our blog.

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, play a key role in the development of the brain, the visual system, and the maintenance of its function, being the main component of the cell membranes of neurons to which it gives the fluidity needed to grow, connect with other cells, and transmit nerve signals.

The product I can recommend for your son is Omegor Mind, a dietary supplement that combines DHA with an extract of Bacopa monnieri, a plant with beneficial memory properties. The recommended dose is 2 capsules to be taken with a main meal. I remind you not to consider dietary supplements as therapy, but only as nutritional support.

Sincerely,
