Berry Calm Kids™

Berry Calm Kids™ contains a combination of ingredients that safety and effectively support focus and concentration in children.*

Vitamin B6 This vitamin is important in the formation of neurotransmitters, which aid in communication between nerve cells in the brain. A small, short-term clinical trial found that vitamin B6 may be helpful in improving focus in children, and was also found to help increase serotonin levels.* 1-3

Black currant Black currant is high in anthocyanins, plant compounds which are potent antioxidants.* 4

DMAE Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is a precursor to choline, which is a component of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved in memory, learning, and recall. In clinical studies, DMAE has been used with success in school aged children to support healthy focus and learning.* 5,6

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) DHA is an essential fatty acid, critical for nervous tissue development and brain health and function. Intake of DHA and other essential omega-3 fatty acids is particularly important during childhood. *7-9

Phosphatidylserine Phosphatidylserine has been shown to support concentration and healthy brain function in children. *10,11

Rhodiola Rhodiola has a long history of use as an energizing and stress-reducing herb. In clinical and scientific tests it has been shown to improve focus and concentration during stressful periods, for example, students taking exams.*12,13

Grape seed extract A source of proanthocyanidins, compounds shown in pre-clinical research to have protective, antioxidant effects in the brain.*14

L-tyrosine A precursor for neutrotransmitter formation, tyrosine has been shown to help support memory and learning, particularly during stressful situations.*15-17

N-acetylcysteine N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant that supports detoxification pathways in the body.*18,19

Taurine The amino acid taurine plays a role in a number of body systems. Taurine intake is extremely important for infants and is central to proper nervous system function.*20,21
