Nutrition is essential to the development of any child's brain. The correct nutrients can play a crucial role in concentration, memory and learning. For the Neurodiverse and Neuro Atypical, including those with Attention Deficits, the brain needs the right resources to unlock peak performance.

The brain is the command centre of your body. Even as newborns, we have all the brain cells (neurons) we'll have for the rest of our lives. However, it's the connections (synapses) between these cells that really make the brain work. Synapses enable us to move, think, communicate and do just about everything. In our early years, at least one million new neural connections are made every second, more than at any other time in life.

Benefits

5-HTP (Griffonia Seed)
This modified amino acid is naturally made in the brain. It is readily converted to Serotonin, known for promoting a positive mood. It's also an excellent antioxidant for the brain and has been known to improve brain activity

Ginkgo Biloba
Promotes a healthy blood flow for optimum brain function. It has many antioxidants that shield the brain from toxins whilst supporting mental sharpness. It's believed to assist cognitive function, help maintain mental wellbeing, and support memory as we age. Additionally, it also helps with memory retention and recall, clear thinking, and day to day focus.

Iron
Iron supplementation can improve cognitive function, energy levels and the transportation of oxygen in the body. All of this can have an effect on the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

L-Choline
Choline is essential in forming acetylcholine - a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps promote mental function. Choline has been known to enhance focus, support memory function, and improve calmness.

L-Theanine (From Green Tea)
Used in Asian cultures, Green Tea supports concentration and learning. It contributes to maintaining blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the brain. It's also used to assist memory function, defend against memory problems associated with ageing, and protect brain cells from oxidative damage.

L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier, and has the ability to modulate inhibitory neurotransmitters, selective serotonin, and dopamine to bring about anxiolytic and calming effects. L-theanine can also improve cognition and selective attention, perhaps due to changes in alpha brain wave activity. Taking L-theanine might help healthy people stay focused on a task over long periods of time. It might also help people with lower thinking skills perform tasks that require them to find words in a specific category.

L-Tyrosine
This amino acid is required for the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Having ample levels of L-Tyrosine in the brain promotes mental clarity and aids in dealing with stressful situations.

Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral for all cells. It stimulates the electrical activity of the brain's nerve cells and promotes the healthy function of information connections (synapses) within the brain.

Phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidylserine is a fatty substance called a phospholipid. It covers and protects the cells in your brain and carries messages between them. Phosphatidylserine plays an important role in keeping your mind and memory sharp. Animal studies suggest that the level of this substance in the brain decreases with age.

Selenium
Required by 25 proteins and enzymes that regulate gene activity, Selenium assists in protein synthesis and cell-to-cell communications. Excellent for nails and hair - it protects cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin A
Essential to the development and maintenance of the brain, cell specialisation, skin, eyes, and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin B12
Essential for the structure of the brain and nervous system. Higher levels of B12 are linked to better mood, behaviour and mental clarity. It reduces tiredness, fatigue and helps with cell division.

Vitamin B6
B6 is essential for at least 100 enzymes and allows the brain to make crucial neurotransmitters. It promotes relaxation and is a mood booster. It also helps to regulate hormones and contributes to 'normal' psychological function.

Vitamin C
A well-known antioxidant, it protects us from 'free radicals' and assists with immunity. Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for the enzymes that make our neurotransmitters, and several enzymes require it to function. Our nerve cells use Vitamin C to make the neurotransmitters Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Vitamin C is also essential for the enzymes that make collagen in the brain's blood vessels. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, contributes to normal psychological function and normal function of the nervous system.

Vitamin D3
Great for bone growth, Vitamin D is also essential for organ growth - playing a central role in cell division and muscle function. D3, in particular, is called the sunshine vitamin, as ultraviolet light stimulates our skin to produce it. It promotes a healthy mood and cognitive function.

Zinc
Zinc is essential for 100 enzymes and other proteins that affect daily life processes. It promotes the healthy development of the brain, thymus gland and spinal cord. It also contributes to normal cognitive function, cell division and protects the cells from oxidative stress.
