http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/101 ADHD Vitamins for Kids: what should
you look for There is a lot of debate about whether medicating a child with
ADHD is the best decision, and while I have no direct experience with this, I
would venture to say it has to be a case by case, personal, decision. This is
definitely a situation where one size does not fit all and people have
different resources available to them, so you have to do what is right for
you and your child. With that being said, there are some minerals and
supplements that have shown some promise in helping to reduce the symptoms of
ADHD. So if you’re willing to or looking to try some *adhd vitamins for
kids*, these are a few ingredients to consider: *Omega-3 Fatty Acids/DHA* A
study done in Sweden, testing the affect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on ADHD
symptoms found the following: /“A subgroup of children and adolescents with
ADHD, characterized by inattention and associated neurodevelopmental
disorders, treated with omega 3/6 fatty acids for 6 months responded with
meaningful reduction of ADHD symptoms.”/ *Zinc*“Several studies have
shown a reduction in hyperactivity and impulsivity with zinc supplementation.
The same studies, though, report no change in inattentiveness, which is
another key symptom of ADHD. A 2005 study in the Journal of Child and
Adolescent Psychopharmacology, though, did show a correlation between zinc
levels and teacher- and parent-rated inattention in children.” Dr. David
Perlmutter is quoted on Healthcastle.com as saying *Phosphatidyl Serine,
Alpha lipoic acid, Coenzyme Q-10, and Ginkgo Biloba* /“have been clinically
proven to protect the brain and enhance brain function, and he has had great
success with them in his own practice.”/ *Valerian root extract* and
*Melatonin* may be beneficial for some suffering from ADHD because of their
ability to calm moods and relax the person taking them. WebMD.com shares that
children taking a stimulant medication for ADHD, who also took melatonin were
noted by researchers to have /“improved sleep problems in these
children.”/ *Vitamin B6* A study reported on the National Institutes of
Health website found /“In almost all cases of ADHD, Mg-B6
(Magnesium/Vitamin B6) regimen for at least two months significantly modified
the clinical symptoms of the disease: namely, hyperactivity and
hyperemotivity/aggressiveness were reduced, school attention was
improved.”/ *GABA* Kyorin University Medical School Researchers conducted a
study on 60 sixth graders in 2005. This study tested the effects of GABA on
brain function and stress levels while taking a math test. The group that was
given GABA answered not only more questions than the other group, but also
had 20% more correct answers, showing that GABA appeared to increase the
brains ability to work quickly. The stress levels recorded in the GABA group
were also lower than those of the other students. In response to this study,
Michael T. Murray, ND said /“there is no question that it (GABA) can be
used very successfully during stressful times to increase feelings of
calmness and improve mental focus, which may be beneficial to children who
have issues with hyperactivity and/or focus.”/ Only time and more testing
will show the long term affects of these adhd vitamins for kids. Be sure to
do your own research before starting any kind of supplementation on yourself
or your children. And of course no major decisions should be made without
first talking with your health care provider.http://liquidhealth.posterous.com/new-content-from-liquid-health-12155 http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/101 ADHD Vitamins for Kids: what should you look for There is a lot of debate about whether medicating a child with ADHD is the best decision, and while I have no direct experience with this, I would venture to say it has to be a case by case, personal, decision. ... http://liquidhealth.posterous.com
