Using This Supplement May Help Improve Your Child’s School Marks
Offering this (tasty) supplement to your child could be the greatest gift you ever give your youngster, allowing them to have the focus to get the top grades they deserve
With peer pressure and schoolroom competition so fierce, even the most attuned and conscientious students struggle to keep up, let alone get ahead in their grades.
Just as increasing numbers of children fall victim to ADHD at one end of the developmental spectrum, others surge ahead but can ‘burn out’ after a few semesters of straight-As.
Ensuring your child has a good diet and exercise, and supplemented with Children’s Mega Multi Daily™ and Children’s Super Omega-3™, will look after their basic nutritional needs for proper physical and mental development––but what about giving especially busy kids the extra edge during exam time or their least-favourite class?
VitaSource has developed Children’s Vita Active Child™ for just this purpose. It is formulated with the most advanced nutrients for nerve and cognitive function to...
Help your child focus, concentrate and
remember important facts
A key ingredient of Vita Active Child™ is lecithin from soyabean oil, which is rich in phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of our cell membranes. In the body, phosphatidylcholine is broken down into choline that, like folate and SAMe, is essential for methyl donation to so many biochemical processes in the body. It is also used to make acetylcholine, a nerve chemical essential to proper brain function.
Phosphatidylserine, like its cousin phosphatidylcholine, is another fatty substance that resides in all living cell membranes, ensuring that the right electrolytes are allowed in and out of the cell. Good-quality trials suggests that phsophatidylserine is an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of age-related mental decline, so it is believed to have a positive general impact on much less severe problems with memory and mental function.
As their name suggests, phosphoinositides are other cell membrane components and play important roles in fat signaling, hormone signaling and membrane trafficking. Like the other phospholipids above, it is made naturally in the body, however supplementation with it may improve communication within the brain—or the messaging between synapses and cells––to higher levels.
DMAE, short for dimethylaminoethanol, is related to choline and is another chemical used to synthesise the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. DMAE is found naturally in fish like sardines and anchovies and is reported to lift mood, so it is included in Vita Active Child™. Short-term studies on DMAE have shown an increase in vigilance and alertness, with a positive influence on mood, while it also has been studied in ADHD.
Even the best formulated and effective supplement for children is useless if it isn’t actually taken, so Vita Active Child™ comes as tasty chewable tablets with a delicious berry flavour. This makes Vita Active Child™ a pain-free way for active, impatient children to breeze through difficult hours of study and excel in the classroom.
