Omega-3 News: Omega-3 and Dyslexia

Res-Q Calamarine for brain and eyes

 Dyslexia is a brain disorder that includes trouble with visual processing. Individuals with dyslexia are more likely to suffer from a decreased ability to see during dim light conditions and adapt to the change from light to dark.  

One month of omega-3 from fish oil improved night vision
Omega-3 from fish oil, given to adults with dyslexia, improved scotopic vision, the type of vision, pertaining to the rods of the retina, and used during dim-light conditions.  DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, is found in the rod cell membranes. The rods of the retina are used to see when there is very little light.   

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in retinal cell membranes. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is very important to prevent omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies. Therefore only a high-potency supplement derived from fish oil and rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, may be used to help restore omega-3 deficiencies. For more information about about Res-Q’s omega-3 supplements, please call 1-800-26-ALIVE.
