Attentive Child Review

Product Features

Attentive Child ingredients include various minerals, enzymes, plant extracts, and amino acids.

Magnesium is one of the active compounds considered essential for the proper functioning of the human body. The substance is involved in hundreds of processes and has been shown to be beneficial for the bone system, energy levels, normal immune function, and proper protein synthesis. The best dietary food sources are nuts, fish, green leafy vegetables and whole grains. Magnesium is used as a natural preventive method for osteoporosis (bone condition affecting the elder), diabetes, cardiovascular conditions (heart disease, hypertension, strokes), and mood disorders (depression, anxiety).

In children, deficiency of Magnesium has been associated with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The explanation behind the increased cases of attention disorders in children may rely in the high number of stressors or stress factors to which children are exposed. This increased pressure creates both psychological and physical imbalance. Continuous release and fluctuations of the hormone adrenaline (released during stressful periods) may result in a deficit of Magnesium, needed to release this hormone. The lack of sufficient amounts of this mineral makes it impossible for the nervous system to calm itself and function appropriately. A cyclic process begins affecting children on multiple levels.

DMAE is an amino acid naturally produced in small amounts in the brain. Its major function is in facilitating production of choline, a precursor to the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, with an essential role in the signaling processes that take place between brain cells. The compound has been attributed with several important benefits including in treating ADHD and Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, reducing the symptoms of common mood disorders (anxiety, depression), improving memory, increasing athletic performance and stamina. As a supplemental compound, the use of DMAE is considered generally safe, but should be avoided by people with certain affections that manifest by seizure attacks.
Attentive Child reviews are numerous and tend to be positive.

Most of the disadvantageous testimonials report ineffectiveness of the formula and bad taste. Attentive Child supplement is recommended dose depends on the weight, starting from 1-2 tablets (for children weighting 75 lb.) up to 3-4 tablets (for children weighting over 125 lb.)

Conclusion

Source Naturals Attentive Child is designed for children who suffer from specific problems that affect their attention and the capacity to focus and concentrate properly. The product is offered by a manufacturer of a large number of dietary supplements that are generally well appreciated by consumers.
While the formula enjoys the customers’ appreciations, it has also received some negative reviews. Judging by these rather isolated reports, the product seems to be generally safe. The formula is advertised to come in two forms: a small, easy-to-swallow tablet or as a kid-approved sweet-tart chewable wafer. In both forms, the formula is available in three different quantities: 30, 60 and 120 tablets/wafers.

However, the manufacturer does not mention the potential side effects of Attentive Child and a list with potential drug interactions is not available for consultation. The producer warns against the use of this formula by children who suffer from epilepsy. The formula also contains the allergenic compound soy.
