Can I use food supplements or herbs as a natural remedy for ADHD? Parents who are aware of side effects of medication are always looking for the best natural remedies for children. Unfortunately, this question can not be answered with a simple "yes" or "no". Every child is biochemically unique. That is, reactions to different treatments differ. One child may have symptoms diminished after receiving one herbal remedy, while the next child may show no improvement at all.
Recently, many experts recommend using Spirulina as ADHD natural remedy. Spirulina is a blue-green alga with a wide range of nutritional aspects. In fact, some experts say that Spirulina alone has advantages in terms of nutrition than most foods, and it can replace expensive multivitamin compounds. If you look at the nutritional formula of Spirulina and compare with the nutritional deficiency of children with ADHD, you can see why this algae is likely to become a natural remedy for ADHD.
Spirulina contains as many as 10 essential amino acids, 8 essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids necessary for the brain. There are rare essential fatty acids called GLA. This is seen only in human milk and evening primrose. Pounds are pounds, Spirulina offers 200 times more protein than cattle, 20 times more than soybeans. Also, if you are looking for multivitamin preparations that can treat the deficiency of vitamins and minerals found in children of ADHD, Spirulina may answer your child's nutritional needs. Spirulina contains minerals such as iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, calcium, vitamins B6, B12. Spirulina contains two natural antioxidants that protect vitamins E and C, vitamins and minerals from free radical damage, so there is no need to give antioxidants to children.
Apart from being a powerful source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, Spirulina has natural detoxification properties. In many cases high levels of lead, mercury, and other neurotoxins cause children's ADHD symptoms. There is some evidence that Spirulina can increase the efficiency of detoxification and reduce the amount of kidney toxins.
Although there is no research to investigate the effect of Spirulina in the treatment of ADHD, it indicates that its nutritional components may be an important source of nutrients necessary for managing the disorder. For example, many studies have shown that zinc supplements can correct ADHD symptoms due to zinc deficiency. In one clinical trial, it was found that Spirulina is more effective than zinc sulfate supplement to increase the amount of zinc added.
Since Spirulina is fairly new to consumers of natural remedies, experts have not yet determined the recommended dosage of Spirulina. But you can include soup, sauce and salad with Spirulina flakes to include in your child's diet. Please consult with qualified holistic healthcare workers before using Spirulina or ADHD natural remedy.
