AMBO Foods, Venice, FL, makers of the Omega Cookie, will be teaming up with The Larsen Center in Sarasota, FL, to study how much omega 3 fatty acids improve the focus and testing abilities of children. Preliminary studies suggest that regularly taking an adequate dose of omega 3s may reduce testing mistakes by up to 50%.
AMBO Foods will conduct the study, focusing on how omega 3 from broad spectrum fish oil increases the testing scores of pre-collegiate students at The Larsen Learning Center. The study will also evaluate the impact of omega 3 on the attention span of students.
In 2009, AMBO foods conducted a pilot study that focused on pediatric patients who were having difficulty concentrating and who had been diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder. During the study, children suffering from poor concentration ate the Omega Cookie for breakfast over a period of six weeks. Using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test before and after the six-week trial, researchers tracked the children’s progress and found that those who consumed the Omega Cookie for breakfast had a 50% reduction in mistakes.
Along with 2000 mg of EPA and DHA, Omega Cookie contains as much soluble fibers (from oats) as a bowl of oatmeal. The cookie is made with all-natural ingredients, including vitamin D3, calcium and dried fruits or chocolate chips (depending on the flavor).
