ADHD / ADD
Before you take your loved one down the road toward daily pharmaceuticals, see the difference that whole-food nutrition can make. Give your loved one the chance to reclaim their life!
Our Recommendation for attacking the root cause of both ADHD and ADD.
How?
If you can increase the neurotransmitters, nor-epinephrine and dopamine, then your ADHD / ADD may be greatly reduced if not totally eliminated. These natural occurring chemicals regulate how your brain cells communicate with one another.
We recommend Essential-7 every day. Because Essential-7 contains the greatest concentration of whole-food vital nutrients, it has proven to promote Brain Cell production, thus quickly enhancing the production of neurotransmitters. Additionally, because your body recognizes all of Essential-7's ingredients as whole-foods, it will respond and perform at its very best. We recommend two scoops a day of Essential-7 for one month then two and up to four scoops a day there after. You'll recognize when the level of nutrients is right for your specific needs.
You and/or your child will focus better with Essential-7!

Is ADHD a real medical disorder?
ADHD/ADD is a real medical condition, recognized and diagnosed in many countries where high-quality scientific studies have been conducted, including the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Germany, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Sweden, Italy, and Australia.
ADHD/ADD symptoms fall into one of three categories: Inattention, Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, or a combination of both. To be diagnosed, one must display: Six or more symptoms of either Hyperactivity/Impulsivity or Inattention (or six or more of both).
The symptoms for at least six months.
Initial symptoms before the age of seven.
Symptoms that cause significant problems in 2 or more settings.
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity symptoms.
Difficulty organizing.
Losing necessary things.
Being easily distracted.
Fidgeting when expected to sit still.
Appearing "on the go" and "driven by a motor".
Talking excessively.
Interrupting conversations or blurting out statements.
Difficulty waiting one's turn.
Inattention symptoms.
Poor attention to details or instructions.
Difficulty sustaining attention.
Not listening when spoken to.
Avoiding tasks requiring concentration.
What is ADHD/ADD?
Successfully Diagnosing ADHD/ADD
The first thing you should know is ADHD/ADD is a real, manageable condition that affects millions of children and adolescents. More importantly, with proper diagnosis and daily use of Essential-7, people with ADHD/ADD can better the quality of their life. Remember, Essential-7 comes in six delicious flavors. Natural Berry, Apple Cinnamon, Heart Healthy Dutch Chocolate, Power Fruits, Vegetable Broth and Natural Flavor. Something for everyone.
Identifying ADHD/ADD
A parent should not assume that a child because of a few low grades or bursts of excitability. However, there are some signs to keep in mind that may indicate ADHD as the reason for a child’s behavior.
Among them:
Complaints from MULTIPLE sources (babysitter, parents of friends, teacher, coach) of the child’s inattention or hyperactive behavior that causes significant disturbance. A persistently high activity level that affects others or causes injury. The changes in emotion and activity are not a result of a recent family crisis or alteration in routine.
The symptoms of ADHD/ADD fall into three basic subtypes:
Predominantly inattentive type–characterized by difficulty in sustaining attention in classroom and play activities, the inability to organize simple tasks and activities and forgetfulness.
Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type–characterized by constant fidgeting and moving (often at inappropriate times), being unable to sit quietly and incessant talking or blurting out excessively
Combined type–characterized by both inattention and hyperactivity
These symptoms tend to be persistent and present in multiple settings— at home, in school, during after school activities, etc. Although noticed primarily in childhood, ADHD/ADD symptoms can also be observed in teenagers.
ADHD/ADD can affect academic performance and social skills. However, children with ADHD/ADD may also excel in certain talents. These assets should be explored and encouraged, as it can help to boost self-esteem and confidence. Children with ADHD/ADD are also entitled to benefits from special government educational programs.
If you are concerned your child may have ADHD/ADD, your first step should be to quickly start your child on a twice a day serving of Essential-7. Most people report an immediate response to the nutrients. Quality of life quickly increases.
Science Made Simple
The Answers from Medical Experts
Is ADHD/ADD a real medical disorder? With so much information and misinformation available, it's easy to get confused. Take a few minutes to learn some important SCIENTIFIC FACTS... from the medical experts.
Many factors can affect the brain and may contribute to ADHD/ADD symptoms. Key factors include: an imbalance in specific brain chemicals, genetic factors, and exposure to certain substances.
Brain chemical imbalances
Two specific chemicals ("neurotransmitters") in the brain, nor-epinephrine and dopamine, may affect ADHD. These chemicals regulate how brain cells communicate with one another.
Millions of brain cells continually transmit signals to each other across the gap between the brain cells. The messages that these neurotransmitters generate impact emotion, behavior, thinking, and attention skills; similarly, an imbalance of these may impair one's effectiveness in the same areas.
The Whole food nutrition in Essential-7 may influence the balance of nor-epinephrine and dopamine in the brain, helping to improve functioning to more normal levels. Common science tells us that the better the things are that are put into the body the better it can perform.
Genetic factors
Research studies indicate that ADHD/ADD may be genetic, often affecting multiple members in a family.
Exposure to substances
Research does not support the notions that sugar and allergens cause ADHD/ADD. However, extensive evidence indicates that exposure to toxins like lead as well as a pregnant woman's use of alcohol and nicotine, increases a child's risk of ADHD/ADD symptoms. Also a lack of essential nutrients, minerals, and oils causes a deficiency resulting in an imbalanced brain chemistry.
The Cerebellum, Basal Ganglia, and Prefrontal Cortex are rich in brain chemicals (nor-epinephrine and dopamine) that impact emotion, behavior, thinking, and attention skills, which are related to ADHD. Whole food nutrients, minerals, and essential oils will help restore brain chemical communications to more normal levels.
