People diagnosed with ADD typically have short attention spans, low energy, are mostly unfocused and disorganized, as well as often suffer from frequent negative thoughts and excessive guilt. They are usually misdiagnosed with clinical depression, but often find that antidepressants only increase their moodiness.
ADD has its roots in various systems in the brain, but is most readily addressed when understood from a holistic point of view. For example, ADD is associated with low dopamine levels in the brain. Furthermore, mood problems can occur when the limbic system of the brain is overactive. The limbic system is about the size of a walnut and lies near the center of the brain. This is the part of the brain that helps determine how positive or negative you are in your outlook, and also affects motivation and drive. It controls the sleep and appetite cycles of the body, and affects the "bonding mechanism" that enables you to connect with other people on a social level, which in turn influences your moods. Also, low serotonin levels are causal factors in many ADD cases. The point here is that all these various factors are addressable and manageable through health decisions and dietary modifications.
Our deep limbic system needs a balanced diet containing protein, "good fats" and carbohydrates to function properly. That means including healthy fats (such as the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish), complex carbohydrates (which increase serotonin levels) and protein in every meal. The right foods also cause dopamine and serotonin to be released which in turn improves focus, mood and reduces ADD symptoms. Most effective is the right supplementation, which can directly target the core of the issue and help solve much of the concomitant problems.
This is where 21st Century Arganics started when they looked into addressing the dietary aspect of ADD. In understanding the causes, we can choose supplements that greatly assist in balancing our natural systems. This is a far cry from pharmaceutical remedies, which can solve one problem only to cause a myriad of others, not to mention the addictive and harmful aspects. Instead we gathered all the natural organics that had proven results in addressing this ailment and used them collectively to solve it in the healthiest way.
An example: the calming effect of serotonin can often be felt simply by eating carbohydrate-containing foods, such as pastas, potatoes, bread, pretzels, and popcorn, as well as foods rich in tryptophan, such as chicken, turkey, salmon, beef, peanut butter, eggs, green peas, potatoes and milk. Dopamine can be boosted through L-Tyrosine intake, or organics like Macuna Pruriens. A simple cup of tea can provide enough stimulant to positively affect attention and energy, especially green or white tea.
So 21st Centry Organics brought together the right balance of natural ingredients to co-operatively produce an improvement in critical areas associated with attention disorders. We call it Elevera and it's a healthy holistic approach to improving your attention, energy, focus, mood and brain health. It is an effective nutritional supplement that helps with either A or B ADD.
