______________
Cause...
May have multiple causes, but recent research has shown a
reduction in behavioral problems and sickness in those given
nutritional supplements on a regular basis.
What May Help: Watkins Superfood Multiple(Super Multi) or
Children’s Chewable(In Canada, Watkins JR is for adult use
only)
Why...
Contains B complex and other vitamins and minerals that
directly affect brain and behavior.
*-Niacin(B-complex vitamin)...may be helpful for symptoms of
hyperactivity and deteriorating school performance.
*-B-6(B-complex vitamin)...when B-6 was given to hyperactive
children with low blood serotonin levels, hyperactivity was
reduced and serotonin returned to normal.
*-Vitamin C...a cofactor for the synthesis of the
neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, imbalances of which are
linked to ADD/ADHD.
*-Magnesium...deficiency is characterized by restlessness and
learning difficulties.
*-Calcium...hyperactivity has often been improved with
calcium supplementation.
*-Zinc...levels have been shown to be lower in ADHD children.
Helpful Hint...
Recent research has shown a reduction in behavior problems
and sickness when inmates in prisons and detention centers
were given nutritional supplements on a daily basis. In
addition, a 2003 study published in the Alternative Medicine
Review found that dietary supplements consisting of vitamins,
minerals, phytonutrients and other essential nutrients were
as effective as medication in reducing symptoms of ADD and
ADHD.

Derron Lemke's Amazing Story
Derron, the son of Sue Skomsky, was experiencing severe
behavioral problems that seriously impacted his performance
at school and life at home. He was diagnosed with ADD(
Attention Deficit Disorder) and given a prescription for
Ritalin, which he took for eight years. In search of an
alternative, the family traveled hundreds of miles to consult
with a doctor of research specializing in children with ADD.
The specialist placed Derron on a program of dietary
modification and intensive vitamin supplementation, believing
that proper nutrition could correct the chemical imbalances
in the boy's brain. The program worked well, well enough that
Derron was allowed to stop taking the Ritalin. But in order
to get all of the nutrients prescribed by the specialist,
Derron had to take upwards of ten pills every morning, "not a
very pleasant way to start the day," according to Sue.
When Sue noticed that Watkins Superfood Multiple was similar
to the nutrition profile of the vitamins Derron was taking,
she faxed the ingredient statements to their specialist, who
"was amazed at the formulations," said Sue, "and gave instant
approval. She got totally excited!"
Since Derron started taking Watkins Superfood Multiple, his
whole outlook has changed. His grades in school have been
excellent, and he has not had a single episode. Although
every case is different and needs to be evaluated by a
physician, Derron's physician, Dr. Brian Baxter, agrees that
"Derron has done very well. The combination of the diet and
the vitamins have allowed him to stop taking Ritalin. It's
certainly a very holistic approach, and an alternative to
prescription drugs."
-Sue Skomsky, New York-
"My daughter had been struggling in school; she couldn't
focus and her grades were falling. Her teacher thought she
had attention deficit disorder. I started giving her Watkins
Children's Chewable and in two weeks, her teacher said,
‘Whatever you are doing...keep it up.’ She finished the year
with straight As."
—Tawny Dawson, Pennsylvania-
"My son has been taking Superfood Multiple(Super Multi) for
several months and he is a different little boy! He is
getting much better grades and has been able to focus at
school, which was very difficult for him before taking the
Watkins vitamins."
—Kelly Borchardt, Ontario-
The following testimonial does not relate directly to
behavior, but since recurring infections affect school
attendance and therefore, performance, this testimonial has
been included.
"My 8 year old daughter used to have ear infections every
month. Since using Watkins Children's Chewables, she no
longer has ear infections and has missed no days of school
from illness.We use many of Watkins dietary supplements and
it's the best health insurance investment we've ever made."
—Laurie Bird, Arizona-
