I would expect you to notice slight differences at first such as a more overall calm demeanor. Within a week or two you should notice at least minor changes.

Fish oil (contains DHA) is certainly supposed to help but improvements rarely come instantly and you need a bit of patience. It could be several months before you notice any real improvements.

It works extremely well, and in combination with that supplement should work wonders. Best luck.

After that we started with an Omega 3 mood enhancer by Country life(At wholefoods), and also with Neu b calmd'. We noticed a changed after about two weeks then after about a month it was apparent he was doing much better. Along with the regimen, we also had to make some big changes in his diet.

Many people think food additives are a major contributor to adhd. Have you removed all sweets, fast foods, fizzy drinks, caffeine,processed foods from his diet? Supplemented his diet with fresh fruit, vegetables, green tea? Just a thought. Rather than treat the symptom have you tried the possible causes.

In general, supplements may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to get into the system enough to notice a difference. Supplements literally give your body nutrition it's otherwise lacking, so it takes time for your body to use that nutrition to repair any damage it can and to nourish those specific areas of the body. For something as severe as ADHD, it may take a few weeks to notice a positive change, but I have read a lot of research that shows how much Fish Oil (like is in the Sea Buddies Concentrate) can help kids with ADHD. You should see good benefits soon enough, but they will be pretty gradual, so you may just realize "hey, he hasn't done ___ for a while" one day... that's how I noticed that Fish Oil was helping me (and Ginkgo, but that's not generally safe for a child). Good luck to you both!
