Overview

Systematic review finds omega-3 supplementation improves social communication and cognitive function in ASD, suggesting beneficial therapeutic roles.

Key Points

  • Omega-3 supplementation led to significant improvements in social communication and reductions in hyperactivity.
  • Results showed a mean improvement range of 15–20% in social responsiveness (p < 0.05).
  • Assessment followed PRISMA Guidelines, evaluating multiple studies including RCTs and meta-analyses published from 2014 to 2024.
  • Findings support omega-3 as a safe adjunct to ASD therapies, though further large-scale trials are needed.
