NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com n SEPTEMBER 2014 n GOURMET NEWS N H 3 0 Nourish Your Child's Brain with Added Attention Buried Treasure's Added Attention™ sup- ports brain health by offering DHA Omega 3, and a special endomembrane lipid com- plex. Recent research suggests that, "supple- mentation with high-dose EPA/DHA concentrates may improve behavior in chil- dren with ADHD." Added Attention also provides several B vitamins, ionic trace minerals and several traditional herbs like Gota Kola noted for supporting brain function. Another herb in Added Attention is chamomile which was studied for its calming effect in relation to ADHD. Added Attention's Liquid Advan- tage™ promotes more efficient bioavailabil- ity with faster and better absorption than other supplements. Another recent study investigated the ef- fects of food on physical and sleep com- plaints in children with ADHD and stated that, "An elimination diet may be an effec- tive instrument to reduce physical com- plaints in children with ADHD, but more research is needed to determine the effects of food on (functional) somatic symptoms in children with and without ADHD." If you are looking for an easy solution, whether it is the medicine the doctor pre- scribes, behavioral therapy, elimination diet or supplementation, they will not find it. This seems like bad news, but they need a com- prehensive long term solution, not a quick fix. Retailers should not encourage the taking of dietary supplements as a cure-all. For ex- ample, even though Buried Treasure's Added Attention offers fast absorption of the vita- mins, herbs and minerals thruugh its Liquid Advantage, this should not be confused with a fast fix for the problems of ADHD. As with any condition, Buried Treasure liquid dietary supplements are meant to as- sist the body to function in optimal health. When Added Attention is combined with proper diet and exercise, it can help nourish the body as it deals with the complex neurological issues of ADHD. Eating a balanced diet and having regular meals is very important to children suffering with behavioral problems or ADHD. When a child's diet is balanced and healthy, his ADHD symptoms are lessened. A child who is hungry is apt to have more difficulty main- taining his concentration, gets frustrated more easily and becomes more irritable. If concentration problems plague your child, there are known natural supplements proven effective in minimizing the symp- toms these kids exhibit. The following are some nutrients essential to proper brain func- tion that you should consider supplementing for the child with concentration difficulty. DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 long chain fatty acid that is the pri- mary building block of the brain and retina of the eye and is essential for brain development. Phosphatidyl Serine (PS) is a natural phospholipid derived from soy which plays and im- portant role in the functioning of brain cells and helps improve memory and learning. Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) is a precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylecholine, a vital compound for messages from one nerve to another. It has a positive effect on memory and learning ability. DMAE stimulates the production of acetylcholine. It helps increase learning abil- ities and helps produce a positive mood with more energy. GABA (Gamma-amino butyric acid) plays a supporting role to help anxiety, because it has a calming effect on the body. OPC (Oligomeric proanthocyanidins) found in grape seeds helps to strengthen the walls of arteries, veins and capillaries, in- cluding brain micro capillaries.

Mamalicious Launches Full Product Line Bliss Nutritional Sciences, Inc. is dedicated to making epigenetically-advantaged func- tional foods and supplements for women and the people they love. Mamalicious ® , the company's flagship product line, offers women of childbearing years novel nutri- tional supplements. These products are specifically formulated by Aimee Rickabus and her mother, clinical pharmacist Dr. Sharon Roddan. These products were created in direct response to the market need for su- perior pre-and post-natal supplements and premium functional foods for women be- cause "Mothers are the Ultimate Body Builders!" ® Dr. Roddan was born with Spina Bifida, thought to be caused by a lack of adequate folic acid (a B vitamin) in her mother's diet. Women who have had Spina Bifida are at greater risk of having a future affected pregnancy. Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Mamalicious Prenatal Protein is a one-of- a kind powder for moms and moms-to-be. High in protein and prenatal vitamins, it is easily added to smoothies, shakes or baked goods. It features protein from either whey or vegan sources. It also includes vitamins like folic acid, A, B, C, D, E and K, calcium, trace mineral and super foods. Also, it con- tains proprietary blends of EpiFactors ® , Flo- raFactors ® , DigestFactors ® and many other nutritious ingredients. Mamalicious taken in conjunction with a healthy diet supports fetal and maternal health. About the Science Mamalicious harnesses the science behind nutrigenomics. In plain words, it knows that what a mom eats before and during preg- nancy can affect the lifelong health of her children and even her grandchildren! The DNA in our bodies is fixed for life. But wrapped around the DNA is a structure called the epigenome. This epigenome changes in response to environ- mental factors – like diet. So, a healthy diet is extremely important for healthy mommies and their yet- to-be-born-babies. Our food choices really do matter. Dr. Sharon Roddan said, "By leveraging the science of nutrigenomics, we can help moms and babies lead healthier lives." This is where Mamalicious can make a difference – by boosting nutrition during this most important time for both women and their unborn children. "I used to make Mamalicious just for myself, but so many other moms asked me to make it for them that I decided to make it for all women… pre-pregnant, pregnant, breastfeeding and those who just want more energy," said Aimee Rickabus, Co-Founder of Bliss Nu- tritional Sciences. She continued, "Since my own mom is a pharmacist, she worked with me to create a very delicious, very easy to use, nutritional beverage." Additional Bliss Nutritional Sciences' products, which include supplements provid- ing nutritional support for fathers and chil- dren, will be released in 2016.
