Fish Oil Research

You probably know that fish oil is good for your eyes.  There is new research that suggests that fish oil is also good for seizure control. 

According to a study done by UCLA (http://www.clinicalneurologynews.com/home/article/low-dose-fish-oil-cut-seizures-in-a-small-randomized-trial/654f7bb75b4c86dba1d97477a49f0cdf.html), on a low-dose fish oil treatment, there was a reduction of seizure frequency by 33.6% in patients with difficult-to-control epilepsy.

The average number of seizures on a low-dose treatment was 12.18 per month versus 17.67 per month on a high-dose regimen. For those not receiving any fish oil, the average number of seizures was 18.34 per month. 

There is much more research to do on this topic to find conclusive answers.  Let's keep our eyes on this for the future.
