As the summer heats up and kids enjoy camp and outdoor fun, parents are busy planning for a successful school year for their children. For many, this means finding help for symptoms that block students from reaching their full potential. One of the most common issues in schools and among adults in the workplace is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Formerly mischaracterized as the hyper bug and over-treated with Ritalin, the facts about ADHD have been clarified in a number of excellent books and articles. It is now well-known that ADHD is a collection of both positive and negative character traits, and that some of the most successful adults in the world struggle with, and at the same time benefit from, their unique personality traits associated with this issue.
ADHD is characterized by an imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitters that carry feelings and thoughts throughout the body and mind. The main neurotransmitters are norepenephrine, acetylcholine, and dopamine, which are the stimulating brain chemicals that add brightness, energy, and focus to the brain. GABA is the brain chemical that slows the brain down making it calmer. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that decreases depression and promotes sleep. In general, food, vitamins, and supplements turn into hormones which then become neurotransmitters.
For the treatment of ADD or any mental health issue, there is a choice between using supplements as precursors to gently raise the neurotransmitters, or chemicals to alter the neurotransmitters. Using pharmaceuticals is usually a more aggressive treatment that often causes side effects. Natural supplements typically have many advantages. ADD-care® works naturally without adversely affecting sleep or appetite, and actually calms and focuses the user without anxiety or irritability. Unlike the stimulants ADD-care® can safely be taken even after 4PM. Ritalin or Adderall usually wear off in the evening and “crash” which often results in lack of sleep and family fights. ADD-care® is a natural alternative.
The scientific results of this supplement have been proven by testing done at the prestigious Amen Clinic. On SPECT scans, which can be viewed on www.add-care.com , ADD-care™ added blood flow and electrical activity to the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which increases focusing and is the part of the brain that is positively affected by the stimulants such as Ritalin. ADD-care® also matched or beat the stimulants in performance on the Conner’s test, which measures impulsivity and focus. ADD-care® raised levels of dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid), and serotonin. It is the ability to boost and balance these neurotransmitters that make ADD-care® so effective.
Success in life is dependent on a proactive approach, and one that is organic – simple, healthful, and close to nature. While prescription drugs to treat ADHD are more prevalent and readily available, oftentimes the best remedies are over the counter supplements that work with the body’s rhythm to bring about optimum results. Do the research, make a positive choice, and then live the best life possible.
