ATTENTIVE CHILD ™ Enhances Mental Concentration Strategies for Wellness SM ost children are creative, ener- getic and spontaneous, but sometimes they don’t focus on requested activities. Sometimes kids find it difficult to apply their attention to the task at hand. We now understand that everyone’s brain processes information differently. Some individuals work on certain kinds of tasks, within distinct settings, at a slower rate of processing. Statistically, these individuals have a higher I.Q. and high- ly creative minds. That’s why parents and teachers are gratified when a way can be found to level the playing field in academic settings, so that these indi- viduals’ talents can be evident. Source Naturals A TTENTIVE CHILD is a Bio-Aligned Formula ™ designed to address the multiple systems that affect children’s ability to focus: neuro- transmitters and brain metabolism, nerve cell com- munication, antioxidant defense, and essential fatty acid metabolism. And now you can choose between tablets or sweet-tart chewable wafers! As the Wellness Revolution grows, parents have begun to question the philosophy of regulating nat- ural brain functioning in an unnatural way. The benefits and empowerment from self-education and improvements in health are long lasting. We at Source Naturals wish to support you in your efforts to improve your child’s academic success in a sustainable, permanent way, without the fear of harmful side effects either now or in the future.

Comprehensive Brain SupportParents want a safe and natural product tosupport their children’s ability to focus.Source Naturals studied theresearch and created a for-mula, based on the latestbreakthroughs in cerebraland nervous system bio-chemistry. ATTENTIVE
CHILDis a formula thatcan yield discernible effectsfor your child while she or heis taking it. Each ingredient inATTENTIVECHILDplays a role in brain andnervous system structure or functioning, or isinvolved in important biochemical pathways.
Neurotransmitters and Brain MetabolismDMAE, a substance normally found in thebrain, boosts brain metabolism and has beenshown in numerous clinical studies toenhance concentration. It works withoutaccelerating your child’s heart rate, bloodpressure, or causing jittering or shaking.DMAE is a precursor to choline, which is aprecursor to the neurotransmitter acetyl-choline, a molecule proven in clinical studiesover the past 40 years to be associated withfaster brain processing times.
DMAE can be thought of as a messenger mol-ecule in the brain that has been found inresearch studies to exist in larger quantitieswhen thinking is faster, less prevalent whenthinking and memory are reduced. Action ofthe neurotransmitters within the brain isspeeded up with increased acetylcholine levels.
Essential Fatty Acid MetabolismBecause 60% of the brain is composed of fat,fatty acid formation is critical to brain func-tion. ATTENTIVECHILDcontains the nutri-ents the body requires to transform essentialfatty acids from the diet into other vital fattyacids and important biological compounds.Magnesium is necessary for the transmissionof nerve signals, and, along with zinc, for theprocessing of essential fatty acids into other
vital biochemicals. Lecithin contains fourphospholipids—fatty acid building-blockmolecules in nerve cell membranes.Nerve Cell Structure and CommunicationPhosphatidylserineis vital in nerve cellcommunication and the electrical activity ofthe brain. This chemical can cross theblood–brain barrier easily. Phosphatidylser-ine is a fatty phosphorous containing (phos-pholipid) that is part of all healthy cell mem-branes. This is important because the electri-cal nerve impulse critical to most brain func-tions travels along the nerve cell membrane.Phosphatidylserine also increases productionof acetylcholine, “the thinking neurotrans-mitter.” Numerous studies have demonstrat-ed that phosphatidylserine facilitates con-duction of nerve impulses, assisting in cell-to-cell communication.
Antioxidant SupportThe lipid-rich environment of the brain canoxidize and turn rancid, and so antioxidantsare required to maintain its structural integri-ty and optimal functioning. Fat moleculesare particularly prone to oxidation by freeradicals found in environmental pollutants,and certain foods, or formed by the body'smetabolic processes.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals in thebrain and throughout the body, and areabsolutely critical to good health.Grape seedextract is a plant-derived antioxidant thatprotects the integrity of fatty acids in nervecell membranes.
Wafers have little Impact on BloodSugar—tabs have noneThe delicious sweet-tarttaste in ATTENTIVE
CHILDwafers comesfrom natural flavors,sweetened with crys-talline fructose (naturalfruit sugar) and xylitol (a
naturally occurring sweetening agent foundin many fruits and vegetables). These naturalsweeteners have a very low glycemic index—so ATTENTIVECHILDwill taste great toyour child, but have little effect on bloodsugar levels.
Glycemic Index of Various SweetenersThe glycemic index is a ranking of foodsbased on their immediate effect on bloodglucose levels. It measures how much yourblood glucose increases over a period of twoor three hours after intake. The higher theglycemic index (GI), the greater the fluctua-tions in blood sugar.

Lifestyle Strategies for Your ChildYou can help your child concentrate onschoolwork, chores and other challenges. Startwith ATTENTIVECHILD, and then incorporatea healthy lifestyle and nutri-tion routine.
Physical HealthHave your child’s overallhealth checked by a rec-ommended holistic healthcare professional, such as anaturopathic physician or afunctional medical doctor. It is particularlyimportant to examine the functioning of yourchild’s thyroid gland (the master regulator of thebody’s metabolism, which influences mood andenergy level), and blood sugar metabolism (the
brain depends on a steadysupply of glucose tofunction properly, particularly when you aretrying to concentrate).
Nutritional Health: Feed-ing the BrainHelp your child maintaina steady supply of energyand brain fuel by provid-ing a balanced diet.Small, frequent meals arepreferable since they dis-pense a steady level of glucose tothe brain. Include foods high in the aminoacid tyrosine, a precursor to neurotransmit-ters that support an alert state. It is found inprotein foods, such as meat, poultry, beans,tofu, lentils and seafood. Also include com-plex carbohydrates such as whole grains,fruits and vegetables, which are metabolizedslowly and yield a steady supply of glucose.
The simple sugars found in candy, cookies,sodas and other processed foods can lead to arapid rise in blood sugar levels, followed by anabrupt decline, and should be discouraged.
It is important to include essential fattyacids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, whichare abundant in the brain and essential forits development and normal functioning.Supplement with ATTENTIVEDHA, andencourage your child to eat cold-water fish,such as salmon. Avoid the hydrogenated fatsfound in processed foods and margarine, aswell as chemicals and food additives. Anutrition program consisting of fresh,unprocessed natural foods is the healthiestchoice for everyone.
Lifestyle HealthSome experts believe extended time watchingTV and playing video games does not sup-port optimal health or school performance.EEG studies have shown that these activitiesdecrease brain activity rather than activatingthe brain. Encourage your child to spendtime in outdoor physical recreation and increative, challenging activities.
