The ADHD and B-12 Connection

Read how TriVita Sublingual B-12, B-6 and folic acid helps with this condition
by Dr. Scott Conard, M.D.

First, let us look at just what ADHD is. ADHD can cover several behavioral problems, inattentiveness, being over-active or too impulsive, or a combination of these. While most research into ADHD has focused on children, recent research suggests that the symptoms continue into adulthood in up to 50 percent of adults who had the disorder in childhood.

Some ADHD-type behaviors are to be expected in children, but when several symptoms occur that exceed the normal range for a childs age, a diagnosis of ADHD may be made. If you are a concerned parent or grandparent, you should be aware of these signs and symptoms. ADHD is not restricted to children. It is a long-term condition, but adults can often better control their behavior and disguise their symptoms. ADHD symptoms are grouped into two categories

Inattentiveness
Hyperactivity and impulsivity

Some children with ADHD may have a combination of these symptoms.

The brain-boosting power of B-12, proven vital to mental wellness, essential to healthy lives
There are prescription drugs available to treat this disorder. But as you may know, these powerful drugs can have serious side effects. There is strong clinical evidence to support the link between essential nutrients and vitamins particularly Vitamin B-12, and mental function. Studies have shown that a B-12 deficiency may decrease levels of substances needed to transmit nerve signals. This reduced ability to transmit nerve signals has shown up in brain tests conducted on children with ADHD. In people of any age, this problem with nerve signals can lessen or damage mental functioning.

Other research indicates that those who have a B-12 deficiency can have mental and physical problems, including inability to focus, and forgetfulness. So, in addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, I recommend that everyone get enough essential vitamins like B-12. One of the best ways to make sure that you or a loved one get enough B-12 is to take TriVita Sublingual B-12, B-6 and Folic Acid.

Millions of people take Sublingual B-12 daily, and it could not be easier. You just place a pill under your tongue and let it dissolve. This ensures that you get maximum absorption of B-12 into your bloodstream, for maximum benefit. TriVita Sublingual B-12 provides over 100 percent of the daily recommended intake of B-12, B-6 and Folic Acid. What is more, it is manufactured strictly to Dr. Libbys original, patented formula, and produced under pharmaceutical-grade scrutiny.
