What’s the bottom line?

Fish oil has special fats called EPA and DHA that help build kids' brains and eyes. If a kid doesn't eat enough fish, giving them fish oil might help them see better, pay attention longer, and feel calmer — especially if they already struggle with focus or have low omega-3 levels.
