My son has ADHD and Autism....
My son has ADHD and Autism, i knew brain issues are greatly helped by Omega 3/6 fatty acids. I had my son taking these vitamins in capsule form, supposedly the highest amount I could get in this form...i saw little improvement but i kept him on the vitamins n hopes it would get better gradually.
With more research I found out Hemp oil had the greatest amounts of not only Omega 3, but Omega 6 which is harder to find.
I started him on the Nutiva Hemp oil, 1 tablespoon a day. At first i was giving it to him in the morning but after a few days I noticed he was sleepy during the day, n was tired at bedtime, which is very unusual as hes always seem to be wired 24/7 unless he was on medication for his ADHD.
We took him to his regular doctors appointment(med appt) and his doctor notice his behavior was different, he was tired n appeared calmer n would talk easier. I told her the only thing id changed was adding Hemp oil for its Omega 3/6. She told me to start giving it to him at night but was very supportive of him taking this to help.
So now, its only been a couple weeks and im not waking up to him banging things downstairs early in the morning...if hes up before me hes much quiter than hes ever been before.
Hes also kinder n more patient now...
I used to see a boy that before morning meds went from crazy bouncing off the walls(adhd) sometimes mean n aggressive, then he'd take his meds and become a boy that was very anxious, introverted and couldn't meet your eyes(autism).
Now hes milder when off meds....to the point i dont frantically rush downstairs as soon as i hear he's up, to give him meds, in order to keep things from being broken or huge messes being made. I can hear him quietly playing early in the mornings now. Hes 12 by the way and likes his alone time.
When i do give him adhd meds, he's tired now so im thinking we might need to decrease these meds...they, now, seem to be too high of a dosage. Before they were growing to be barely effective at times....
Im not a doctor, im a mom, and i think this product has definitely helped my son. Our mornings are so much more peaceful and i think i might be able to lessen his dosage of sleep meds to...ill know more in a month when we return to his doctor n see what she thinks.
I will keep you updated because i am not seeing many reviews for this product in helping treat brain problems, such as ADHD and Autism.
I will know more on how it's affecting the Autism when he returns to school in a few weeks.
The fact is Omega's are desperately needed for brain health, so any mental issues potentially will benefit from receiving the Omegas, and Hemp oil has the most concentrated amounts, so give it a try!
Im using it to and feel happier...just calmer in general. My nerves were on edge n stress have been high with my sons issues....we are both healing together.
My daughter(19) has anxiety issues, ive got her agreed to try it to! 😊
