%X SUMMARY MESSAGE: The literature is sparse with regard to the use of fish oil for improved concentration in ADHD. Some studies are further complicated by the use of a combination of fatty acids. One systematic review of 10 trials suggests a modest benefit in ADHD relative to other pharmacological agents. Given the benign safety profile, supplementation with standard pharmacotherapies may be a reasonable suggestion for some families. The caveat here is that more studies are required to make a recommendation for universal administration to all children with ADHD.
