Recent research has confirmed what many researchers have thought; that there is a serious link between diet and these issues.
The increase in anti-social behaviour, learning and concentration difficulties in children is now a serious subject for many parents. As if bringing children up wasn’t difficult enough, recent years have seen a sharp increase in child behavioural problems in the United Kingdom.
Research conducted in US and European studies have shown that children with learning and concentration problems and antisocial behaviour are often deficient in three fatty acids: EPA, DHA and GLA
Our brains contain 60% fat, out of which a major part belongs to the so-called essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA, DHA and arachidonic acid (AA), an end metabolite of GLA. They are essential for proper cognitive skills, such as learning, concentration and memory, as well for vision, hearing and normal behaviour. People with learning and concentration problems and asocial behaviour are often deficient in these fatty acids. A daily supplement of these three fatty acids, EPA, DHA and GLA, may correct the failure and improve the cognitive skills and behaviour.
ABC-EPA Neurobalance is a new "brain nutrition" product developed by Dr Matti Tolonen for normalising the functions of the human brain. This is no empty promise but rather based on solid science. ABC-EPA Neurobalance corresponds to the latest scientific research in this important area.
Despite the fact that the docosahexaenic acid (DHA) is the commonest fatty acid in the brain, and the persons with dyslexia and/or ADHD often are deficient in DHA, it is the eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) which is the most efficient nutritional supplement for the correction of the problem.
The reason for DHA deficiency is a genetically determined over-activity of an enzyme, phospholipase A2, which breaks down DHA molecules in the brain cells. EPA inhibits the activity of this enzyme and thereby spares DHA. Moreover, ingested EPA turns into DHA in the brain whenever we are deficient in it.
Latest neurological research from Oxford and Sheffield Universities suggests that supplementation with EPA gives good results in dyslexia, ADHD, schizophrenia and other related neurological conditions. It is for this reason that ABC-EPA is rich in EPA, while DHA and GLA are also present as adjunct substances, although in lesser quantities.
Every ABC-EPA Neurobalance capsule contains the following ingredients: EPA 90 mg DHA 63 mg GLA 10 mg
learning, concentration and behavioural problems, hyperactivity (ADHD)
dyslexia (reading and writing difficulties)
dyspraxia (developmental co-ordination problems)
other neuropsychiatric conditions with neurochemical abnormalities in the brain metabolism
Initial dosage: Begin with 5 to 6 capsules per day. This initial dose starts a correction in the metabolism of the neurotransmitters in the brain. The effect is normally seen within 12 weeks. According to the latest research a daily dose of 500 mg EPA (corresponding to 5 or 6 capsules) is required. Take half of the dose with breakfast and the other half with supper.
Individual variations: If you want to start with a smaller daily dose, you can do so, but be prepared to experience an improvement more slowly, during the next few months. On the other hand, some individuals seem to respond positively before 12 weeks, and they may then shift over to the maintenance dosage.
Maintenance dosage: The maintenance dosage is normally 2 capsules per day. We recommend that you step down gradually from the initial dosage, first to 4 capsules per day for a week, and that you follow the response. If everything goes well, step further down to 3 capsules for another week, and then to 2 capsules per day for good.
You should note that if the symptoms come back; increase the dosage to 3 capsules per day. Research suggests that if the daily dose of EPA falls below 180 mg/day (corresponding to 2 capsules of ABC-EPA Neurobalance), some individuals seem to get a relapse.
In other words, the need varies from one person to another. Therefore the patient, his/her parents, teachers and the medical professionals should carefully monitor the effect of the dosage in order to find the ideal daily dose.
The above instructions apply to children over 5 years and adults. Although children are smaller than adults, the metabolism in their developing brains is more vivid and they need the same amounts of the essential fatty acids as adults.
Start with 2 capsules per day for one week. Increase then to 4 capsules per day for the next week and thereafter to 6 capsules until 12 weeks have come to an end.
Then you may gradually step down, first to 4 capsules per day, for one week, and then to the maintenance dosage, i.e., 2 capsules per day. With this approach the child gets accustomed better to the taste of the capsules. If the child cannot swallow the capsules, they may be punctured and the content extracted and mixed with the food.
ABC-EPA Neurobalance consists of natural product with no harm to the health, as the essential fatty acids are physiological substances and we are all born with them. The body is fully able to take care of them in our metabolism. Even if one would eat a whole package at once, it would correspond to the same burden for the liver as 2 to 3 tablespoonsful of olive oil. Our body would clear it soon without any adverse effects.
ABC-EPA Neurobalance is to be recommended as a beneficial dietary supplement for all expectant and lactating mothers, as the essential fatty acids contribute to the normal development of the baby’s brain.
