Supplement Facts

Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual’s potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn’t exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry’s #1 immune support product.

Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.

Source Naturals’ comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, they evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Their line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.

Nature abhors imbalance. From the solar system to our internal body systems, the natural world strives for bio-alignment. Symptoms are really systems out of alignment. Only by going deep to the root cause of system imbalances can vibrant health be attained.*

Health concerns often begin as subtle biochemical and cellular imbalances, deep below the surface of our perception, years before problems manifest. SystemiCare is a holistic, early intervention approach to healthcare that utilizes natural compounds to address these system imbalances.*

Source Naturals Bio-Aligned Formulas are critical to the SystemiCare model. They are formulations with potent bio-active nutrients that go deep to the root causes of health imbalances and become powerful tools for vibrant health and well being.*

Brain health can be affected by nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors, leaving you susceptible to problems in memory, concentration, and perception. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide ingredients such as neurotransmitters for brain cell communication, phospholipids that are components of nerve cell membranes, nutrients to fuel the brain’s energy demands, and herbs for stress response.*

Digestive, Eliminative & Metabolic Symptoms*
Without adequate nutrition, your liver can’t perform its critical functions: detoxification, metabolism, and conversion of vitamins into usable forms. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide antioxidants, herbs that detoxify and promote bile flow, ingredients for the liver’s energy needs, nutrients that support glucose metabolism and pancreatic activity, and digestive enzymes.*

General Symptomatic Conditions*
Daily well-being requires nutrition for your major body systems. While typical multiples supply just enough ingredients to meet minimum requirements, Bio-Aligned Formulas provide nutrients to support energy and liver function, heart-friendly botanicals, herbs that promote circulation to the brain, immune-supporting vitamins, minerals for your skeletal system, and antioxidants for general protection.*

Immune Symptoms*
Appropriate immune response is critical for seasonal health and wellness all year around—but it can be compromised by stress, lack of sleep, and poor diet. Bio-Aligned Formulas supply botanicals that modify histamine release, nutrients for the adrenals, clearing herbs, and antioxidants to defend white blood cells.*

Joint, Bone, and Muscular Symptoms*
Healthy joints, bones, and muscles require continuous nutrition. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide components of joint and connective tissue, bone-building minerals, soothing herbs, and nutrients that support muscular energy.*

Men’s & Women’s Symptoms*
The health of men and women can be impacted by diet, stress, and aging. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide phytoestrogens for hormonal balance, calming neurotransmitters, ingredients for metabolic support, and nutritional support for skin, hair, and nails.*

Comprehensive Brain Support
Parents want a safe and natural product to support their children’s ability to focus. Source Naturals studied the research and created a formula, based on the latest breakthroughs in cerebral and nervous system biochemistry. ATTENTIVE CHILD is a formula that can yield discernible effects for your child while she or he is taking it. Each ingredient in ATTENTIVE CHILD plays a role in brain and nervous system structure or functioning, or is involved in important biochemical pathways.*

Neurotransmitters and Brain Metabolism
DMAE, a substance normally found in the brain, boosts brain metabolism and has been shown in numerous clinical studies to enhance concentration. It works without accelerating your child’s heart rate, blood pressure, or causing jittering or shaking. DMAE is a precursor to choline, which is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, a molecule proven in clinical studies over the past 40 years to be associated with faster brain processing times.*

DMAE can be thought of as a messenger molecule in the brain that has been found in research studies to exist in larger quantities when thinking is faster, less prevalent when thinking and memory are reduced. Action of the neurotransmitters within the brain is speeded up with increased acetylcholine levels.*

Essential Fatty Acid Metabolism
Because 60% of the brain is composed of fat, fatty acid formation is critical to brain function. ATTENTIVE CHILD contains the nutrients the body requires to transform essential fatty acids from the diet into other vital fatty acids and important biological compounds. Magnesium is necessary for the transmission of nerve signals, and, along with zinc, for the processing of essential fatty acids into other vital biochemicals. Lecithin contains four phospholipids—fatty acid building-block molecules in nerve cell membranes.*

Nerve Cell Structure and Communication
Phosphatidylserine is vital in nerve cell communication and the electrical activity of the brain. This chemical can cross the blood–brain barrier easily. Phosphatidylserine is a fatty phosphorous containing (phospholipid) that is part of all healthy cell membranes. This is important because the electrical nerve impulse critical to most brain functions travels along the nerve cell membrane. Phosphatidylserine also increases production of acetylcholine, “the thinking neurotransmitter.” Numerous studies have demonstrated that phosphatidylserine facilitates conduction of nerve impulses, assisting in cell-to-cell communication.*

Antioxidant Support
The lipid-rich environment of the brain can oxidize and turn rancid, and so antioxidants are required to maintain its structural integrity and optimal functioning. Fat molecules are particularly prone to oxidation by free radicals found in environmental pollutants, and certain foods, or formed by the body's metabolic processes.*

Antioxidants neutralize free radicals in the brain and throughout the body, and are absolutely critical to good health. Grape seed extract is a plant-derived antioxidant that protects the integrity of fatty acids in nerve cell membranes.

Glycemic Index of Various Sweeteners
The glycemic index is a ranking of foods based on their immediate effect on blood glucose levels. It measures how much your blood glucose increases over a period of two or three hours after intake. The higher the glycemic index (GI), the greater the fluctuations in blood sugar.*

Lifestyle Strategies for Your Child
You can help your child concentrate on schoolwork, chores and other challenges. Start with ATTENTIVE CHILD, and then incorporate a healthy lifestyle and nutrition routine.*

Physical Health
Have your child’s overall health checked by a recommended holistic health care professional, such as a naturopathic physician or a functional medical doctor. It is particularly important to examine the functioning of your child’s thyroid gland (the master regulator of the body’s metabolism, which influences mood and energy level), and blood sugar metabolism (the brain depends on a steady supply of glucose to function properly, particularly when you are trying to concentrate).*

Nutritional Health: Feeding the Brain
Help your child maintain a steady supply of energy and brain fuel by providing a balanced diet. Small, frequent meals are preferable since they dispense a steady level of glucose to the brain. Include foods high in the amino acid tyrosine, a precursor to neurotransmitters that support an alert state. It is found in protein foods, such as meat, poultry, beans, tofu, lentils and seafood. Also include complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, which are metabolized slowly and yield a steady supply of glucose.*

The simple sugars found in candy, cookies, sodas and other processed foods can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar levels, followed by an abrupt decline, and should be discouraged.*

It is important to include essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in the brain and essential for its development and normal functioning. Supplement with ATTENTIVE CHILD, and encourage your child to eat cold-water fish, such as salmon. Avoid the hydrogenated fats found in processed foods and margarine, as well as chemicals and food additives. A nutrition program consisting of fresh, unprocessed natural foods is the healthiest choice for everyone.*
