University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada Research
The study looked at "The Effects of a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat with the addition of the Omega-3 Fatty acids on an adult population of ADD, ADHD adults." March, 2003 we completed the research project at the University of Guelph. It was the first project of its kind to study adults with ADD and ADHD. It was a unique opportunity to be able to work with such a fine University, which is truly determined to help find reliable and proven methodologies to help people of all ages reach their full potential.
Those who followed the program showed improvement in their post blood test, and experienced huge differences in their behavior and self concepts The results were highly significant. Each of the subjects had suffered from severe symptoms of ADHD for a number of years. It was very exciting to see each of them at the end the study, smiling, happy and realizing that they could definitely change their experience of life by eating a balanced diet supplemented with the essential fatty acids.
