Melotone and Concentration

Sportron’s Melotone Syrup is a nutritional supplement specially designed to provide support for both children and adults with concentration problems. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was originally known as Brain Damage Syndrome followed by Minimal Brain Dysfunction and later Hyperkinetic Impulse Disorder, Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder. Finally in 1992, Dr Larry Silver of Georgetown University described the cluster of symptoms that we now know as Attention Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral disorder affecting children from all socioeconomic and population groups. Interestingly, the incidence is three times higher in boys than in girls. The main features include fidgeting and talking, inattention - children are easily bored and distracted i.e. the daydreamers. Children with ADHD are often impulsive and act without thinking. It is difficult to manage the symptoms of ADHD and there is definitely no “all-in-one recipe” for management. Help is required from a team of professionals which includes Teacher, Occupational Therapist, Psychologist, Speech Therapist, Dietician and Social Worker. Prescription medication is available and for some children this may be the correct option. However, the medication does have significant side effects which lead parents and teachers to seek alternative management plans. The environmental and lifestyle influences are multi-factorial but food and dietary choices definitely appear to play an important role in the management of ADHD. Allergies to colorants, especially red, yellow and blue dyes, as well as preservatives like sulphur dioxide and sodium benzoate aggravate symptoms. Foods high in phosphates, especially fizzy cold drinks, should be avoided. Salicylates are also known to affect symptoms of ADHD, a few foods that contain salycylates: Almonds, Cherries, Mint flavours, Apples, (cider/vinegar Grapes, Oil of wintergreen, Oranges, Raisins, Cloves, Peaches/Nectarines, Currants, Wine/Wine vinegar, Plums/Prunes, Cucumber, Pickles, Raspberries, Tomato, Strawberries, Blackberries & Gooseberries. Low blood sugar, usually caused by poor food habits like skipping breakfast, also makes symptoms of ADHD worse. A good breakfast with regular meals is an important part of managing ADHD. A deficiency in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) significantly affects symptoms of ADHD. This deficiency is caused by a block in the metabolic pathway controlled by the delta-6-desaturase enzyme. The result is a vital need for supplements that contain essential fatty acids. The Melotone Advantage: Melotone Syrup contains both Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids together with the co-factors for the metabolism of these fatty acids. Melotone comes in a liquid which means it is easy for children to take.
