I've seen a few references on the BBB about using fish oil and 5HTP(?) for hyperactivity/behavior issues with DC. I'm curious about this as DS has a tendency toward hyperactivity and has some behavior issues. If this would help I'd be willing to give it a try. Please tell!

This is some info I gathered from previous posts and passed on to a friend of mine dealing an ADHD child
Here is a chart that someone posted about Omegas http://www.omegabrite.com/pdf/EPA_vs_DHA_OMEGA3_Childhood_disorders_of_mood_and_ behavior_August_2007
these are the 2 supplements that were suggested
- MorEPA Mini-Junior for his Omega suppliment. This is a high EPA: low DHA
formula (7:1). Research shows that a lot of kids with hyperactivity do well on
this type of formula.

- Behavior Balance DMG. This is a suppliment that contains high dose B vitamins,
Magnesium, zinc, and DMG (a methyl donor that helps cell with functioning). This
suppliment has done wonders for my son in increasing his language skills and
socialization. A lot of parents use it to help manage ADHD symptoms. "

We use Fish Oil for speech (Apraxia). I've been really happy with Nordic Naturals brand.
They have a Pro EPA line
