New Research: Autism, omega 3s and vitamin E

Exciting new research indicates that omega 3s, in combination with vitamin E, may yield improvements in children with autism. A study published this month in Alternative Therapies In Health And Medicine reveals that children who received omega 3 and vitamin E supplements showed significant improvement in areas including speech, imitation, coordination, eye contact, behavior, sensory issues and development of pain sensation.

Anxiously awaiting our own childs omega 3 formula. Heard it was in the works a year ago. Have a lot of requests at nutraMetrix doctors offices. Can we look forward to it?
