ADHD Herbal Remedies - AD-FX

ADHD Herbal Remedies - AD-FX

Most non-medical approaches to treating ADHD require your guidance and participation. If your child is on an ADHD diet, you will need to personally prepare meals so that your child does not eat foods that trigger the disorder. Some therapeutic approaches, such as Cogmed Working Memory Training, require you to be present to guide your child through the program. However, the time and effort put into natural treatments for ADHD is worth it as they provide lasting benefits without the side effects of medications. Additionally, not all non-medical treatments for ADHD have to be inconvenient. Consider giving your child an ADHD natural remedy such as AD-FX, a capsule containing herbal extracts known for their ability to treat the disorder.

A growing body of evidence shows that Gingko Biloba Extract and American Ginseng Extract provide the same benefits as prescription medications without causing unwanted side effects. Studies have shown that Gingko Biloba appears to increase working memory and attention, making it a versatile herbal treatment for the three ADHD subtypes. Ginseng is also known to work on dopamine-related pathways, which is thought to be a cause of the dopamine deficits in ADHD children. Together, the two herbs form a powerful natural ADHD remedy because they stimulate brain cell growth and may have antioxidant properties. However, there is a catch: commercially available raw gingko biloba and American ginseng are often contaminated by pesticides, fungicides and heavy metals. When ingested, these substances only worsen the symptoms of the disorder.

Fortunately, researchers at the University of Alberta are on a mission to provide safe herbal supplements to ADHD patients and their families. Using their knowledge of herbs and their benefits, they developed a product called AD-FX, an herbal supplement containing a potent combination of Gingko Biloba Extract and American Ginseng Extract. Before the leaves' chemicals are extracted into the capsules, the leaves themselves are tested for toxins to ensure only the cleanest herbs are used. Before the product was officially released to the public, the developers of AD-FX conducted a clinical study in which 37 children with ADHD were asked to take four capsules daily. After the experimental period, 90% of the participants no longer met diagnostic criteria for ADHD, had fewer cognitive problems and no longer exhibited oppositional behavior - although some of these children had not responded to ADHD medication.

Each AD-FX capsule contains 50 mg of gingko biloba extract and 200 mg of American ginseng extract. The recommended daily dose for children under ten years of age is four AD-FX capsules, which should be taken on an empty stomach. The researchers note that AD-FX alone is not strong enough for adolescents and adults. For best results, you must combine four AD-FX capsules with other natural ADHD remedies such as 300 mg Gingko, Hypericum or St. John's Wort.

Despite the benefits of AD-FX for children with ADHD, keep in mind that herbal supplements alone cannot treat the disorder. As part of a holistic treatment program that combines a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and therapeutic approaches, AD-FX can help your child overcome ADHD naturally. Also note that some children may be allergic to components of herbal medicines. Consult your doctor, alternative therapist or homeopath before administering AD-FX or natural treatments for ADHD.
