SPM Active...

[tropea22]

My son's naturopath has suggested using SPM Active (fish oil) for my son's tics.  Has anyone used this product and if so has it helped?

Thankyou.

Hi Tropea

Interestingly, where they benefit greatly from Omega-3 EFA - some kids with tics, specifically TS tics, seem not to tolerate fish oil well - but do better with Omega-3s from other sources eg flaxseed oil etc

I know we once had a thread running where there were links explaining why the fish oil may exacerbate some kids' tics - but not too sure where that info is now. I will see if I can locate it.

Tropea22,

I’ve heard this a more readily available form of omega-3, although it is fish oil to Chemar’s point. Are you liking it as a supplement and are you seeing any results?

Chemar do you have a good recommendation for a non fish oil omega 3 supplement that won’t cause histamine issues?

Thank you Chemar for your reply. 

MLee unfortunately I'm not seeing any improvements with the fish oil.
