ADD - or Attention Deficit Disorder - is the most common behavioral disorder in U.S. children, affecting more than 17 million. Although ADD is seen in up to 6% of grade school children, many times this number are being referred for diagnosis. The main symptoms of ADD and ADHD - Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders - include distractibility, impulsiveness and mood swings. Recent studies indicate that approximately 50% of children afflicted with ADD will continue to experience problems into adulthood. Although the cause is unknown, numerous factors are thought to contribute to ADD including neurochemical imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, food allergies, artificial food dyes and salicylates.
Current treatments of ADD are central nervous system stimulants, which can produce a wide variety of side effects and abuse potential. Children who have been diagnosed with ADD and ADHD are commonly prescribed medications.
In recent years, there have been numerous studies on specific nutrients vital for growth and optimum neurological development. MRM's ATTENTION! Gels for children offers an array of researched brain and blood glucose support nutrients in a unique, softgel delivery system for enhanced absorption.
ATTENTION! Gels provide significant amounts of the essential fatty acid, Docosahexanoic Acid (DHA). DHA is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid formed from alpha-linolenic acid or obtained from fish oils. Several studies show a strong relationship between DHA and proper brain development. Current investigations are now documenting the role of (PS) - Phosphatidylserine - in supporting the brains neurotransmitters including acetylcholine, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, all of which are involved in behavior and cognitive functioning. ATTENTION! Gels have been formulated with the clinically-proven PS.
Several studies show the importance of the B vitamins Folic Acid, B6 and B12 in addition to the minerals Zinc, Iron and Magnesium in supporting and maintaining normal behavioral patterns. Super neuronutrients, DMAE, L-Tyrosine, Glutamic Acid, Choline and Inositol have been associated with enhanced mood, memory and behavior.
There appears to be a solid association between sugar consumption and behavior problems. ATTENTION! Gels incorporate several nutrients designed to help modulate blood sugar concentrations through the addition of Chromium, Gymnema sylvestre and Opuntia streptacantha. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been included to assist a number of important enzymes responsible for the conversion of food into energy - ATP. Recent clinical studies show Lipoic Acid supports blood sugar metabolism by increasing cellular uptake of glucose.
ATTENTION! Gels provide vital nutrients that support optimal neurological function as well as blood glucose metabolism in small, easy to swallow, soft-gels. This precisely, bioengineered formula is the perfect, ALL NATURAL alternative to help maximize your child’s learning and behavioral capabilities.
