I was wondering how the oils work? My youngest hasn't been diagnosed with ADHD but I'm sure he has it. Right now he is just very busy. My oldest has it and myself as well. Should he go through being diagnosed or can he take the natural oils to improve it. I am just wondering if it would do anything bad to him if he wasn't ADHD? I don't want to go through the process of getting him tested because right now he is 7 and his only symptom is being hyper. I just have to keep him busy! So so far so good!

Anyone can take fish oil! They are even putting Omega 3 in baby formula these days. It's super healthy & great for developing brains (as well as adult brains). My mom also uses it to help ease her arthritis symptoms. I give it to my dog to relieve his dry skin. There are a host of conditions that it helps with!
