Accentrate® was formulated by relying on the scientific literature that shows which nutrients provide the most support in improving attention, focus, and emotional regulation. There is scientific support for the inclusion of every ingredient in Accentrate®.
What happens when the brain is deprived of iron? A study showed that children with an iron deficiency had a 67% greater risk of developing ADHD. A low amount of iron is not good for brain health. Iron is important in its role in hemoglobin in the blood and transporting oxygen to the neuron. Iron is an important mineral that plays a role in hundreds of enzymes. It is essential…
People often say that allowing their children to play video games, watch tv, or play on a tablet might contribute to ADHD or that “bad parenting” leads to ADHD. You don’t “get ADHD” through the environment this way. An individual has it or you don't. It’s in your genetics. However, the severity of ADHD ranges from mild to severe. And improving your environment can decrease the severity of the ADHD…
Individual nutrients have been the focus of studies attempting to determine the role that they may play in the expression of ADHD in children. The most nutrients most studied are omega-3 fatty acids, iron and zinc. Omega-3 fatty acids are the most commonly studied nutrients for brain health. That is due to the fact that omega-3 fatty acids are large molecules that help increase cell membrane fluidity. EPA is particularly…
What happens when the brain is deprived of magnesium? Magnesium is an important mineral that plays a role in hundreds of enzymes. It is essential to initiate hundreds of cellular activities and is required for ATP, which is what provides energy to the cell. More importantly, magnesium plays an important role in brain health. Not enough magnesium impairs the brain's ability to regulate important neurotransmitters. Magnesium deficiencies impair dopamine regulation…
Why is Accentrate® Brain Ready® nutrition? Why do we say we have Tissue-Targeted® EPA and DHA? Accentrate® has been formulated with EPA and DHA in phospholipid form, which is the preferred carried to the brain. The brain contains very high concentration of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is essential for the normal development and function of the brain.[1] EPA and DHA protect against multiple metabolic and neurologic disorders.[2] “DHA cannot be…
There are many contributory factors that influence the symptoms of ADHD. Genetics, diet, nutrition, and abnormalities in fatty acid metabolism are among some predominant factors.[1] People with ADHD have a dysregulation of neurotransmitters and many people have a deficiency in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The dysregulation of neurotransmitters often results in a diminished ability to make or release norepinephrine and/or dopamine. DHA plays a role in membrane…
Two branches of factors including background factors and environmental factors such as lack of some micronutrients have been propounded in the pathogenesis of disease.[1] The main treatment of ADHD is the use of stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate. However, it is important to note that patients of this disorder also lack suitable clinical response after the beginning effects of the drug. In some cases, this is related to the lack…
There are many studies from the 1980s showing phosphatidylserine from bovine cortex was helpful in memory, cognition, dementia, and other mental health conditions. In the late 1980s and early 1990s. Mad Cow Disease became a concern. So people stopped supplementing with PS from cow brains…makes sense. Well, sunflower and soy contain PS that’s an easily solution, right? Not so fast. Unlike PS from cow brains, PS from soy and sunflower…
