Great EFA supplement
By Lesa from Utah on July 8, 2012

ProEFA - Lemon has all the EFA's in the right amounts. I'm on the GAPS diet which has strict requirements for additives in supplements and ProEFA - Lemon has been determined safe for my diet. I've noticed a change in my inflammation response sine starting it. ProEFA - Lemon is also easy to take because of the lemon flavor.
Pros:
All the EFA's I need in one bottle.Cons:
Need more ounces so have to buy several bottles each month and it's costly.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Dyspraxia-Speech Disorder
By John from New York on January 3, 2011

Our son has a tentative diagnosis of Dyspraxia (Speech/Motor Disorder) and was basically non-verbal until about 3 years old. We found some information that ProEFA may help our son's attention and development of speech. The other reviewer did a good job explaining the need for such a supplement so I won't go over it in this review but any concerned parent should do some research and make a decision that is best for their family. What I can tell you is that from 2.5 yrs to 3 yrs old my son was receiving speech Therapy, special edu. services, and OT services through our county Early Intervention Program. His results were minimal and the issues centered around my son's lack of attention and inability to stay on task. He also took himself out of a lot of situations that presented a challenge to him (such as following directions, etc) by lying on the floor (luckily not screaming...just laying down...looking back it was kind of funny). My wife and I experienced a lot of stressful nights trying to figure out how to help him when we found some information on ProEFA. We decided to try it and it made a big difference. After two weeks we started getting reports from his daycare teachers and therapists that his attention had improved greatly and he was showing motivation with using his words. By the way, no one knew that we started this supplement because we did not want a biased opinion. My son has continued to improve but the supplement in not a miracle. Although I hate to deflate some parents expectations, my son still needs Speech and OT services and at 3.5 is still expressing his needs in one or two word requests. The positive is that he seems to be making progress all the time. He is trying to sing songs he hears in daycare and at home and is learning his alphabet, counting, and dinosaurs (of course). For those parents experiencing the same challenges, hearing your child try to sing is truly music to your ears. We believe in this product although our Developmental Ped told us that there is no proof that the supplement works. She did follow up by saying that it is only fish oil so it won't hurt him either. She recommended that we take him off it and gauge his progress but we just can't bring ourselves to do it when he is making so much progress. We go through one bottle about every two months so the expense is worth it to us. Remember to keep the faith and don't try to gauge your child against everyone else. Our kids are unique and trying to make them measure up to others will only cause stress for you and your child. By the way, I don't typically write reviews but was drawn to the ipad giveaway. I read some reviews about how some ipad apps are helping autistic and special needs children communicate and learn. Not sure if there is any substance to it but it made for an interesting read. I will keep my fingers crossed!
Pros:
great for picky eaters- we mix it with his milk and it doesn't bother him at all.
It works (at least seems to) and is recommended by other parents with special need children.I would recommend this item to a friend.
ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autism Spectrum
By Linda C. from Twinsburg, Ohio on October 27, 2010

Our 5 1/2 year old son is on the autism spectrum and was mostly non-verbal until he was almost 3. One of the things we really believe has helped him tremendously is fish oil. If you want to know how and why this works, beg, borrow or steal the book "THE LCP SOLUTION: The Remarkable Nutritional Treatment for ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia" by B. Jacqueline Stordy and Malcolm J. Nicholl. Basically, the fish oil helps the brain make the necessary connections that it has trouble making on its own. Also, studies have suggested that autistic brains don't process omega-3 as efficiently as they should, so supplementing is like feeding a starving brain.
He hasn't been formally diagnosed with any of those conditions, but on the chance that his speech problems might be related to verbal apraxia (similar to dyspraxia, speech vs. body), I decided to try giving him fish oil. According to the book, the right type of fish oil is very important and this lemon-flavored Pro EFA Liquid from Nordic Naturals has the perfect formula. Our little guy is a picky eater, and he loves this stuff. He'll even take it by the spoonful. We feel very strongly that giving him fish oil supplements daily has helped his language to finally emerge. He still has language issues, but he's making very significant progress.
Pros:
Completely safe, good for overall health regardless of what specific issues you may be facing, really seems to have made a significant difference in our son's speech and language, liquid for children who can't take pills.Cons:
A bit costly (we go through about a bottle a month), but worth it. I would recommend this item to a friend.
