Multiple studies looked at the potential benefits of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in children with dyslexia. Although some of these studies showed improvements, the evidence remains limited due to the inconsistency of results and variations in methodologies employed.[1]
One 1988 study found a correlation between dyslexia and low zinc levels in children between the age of 6 and 14.[2] Although various online sources recommend increasing zinc levels through dietary adjustments or supplements, there is a lack of evidence regarding the benefits of zinc supplementation specifically in people affected by dyslexia.
