Condition
Down Syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, which shapes physical and cognitive development and is linked with certain health conditions. Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids are the supplements people look at most, but little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Interest rests on reasoning, such as low vitamin D and zinc levels being common, so it is too early to say what they do.
