Buried Treasure Added Attention Children's Learning Support with GABA DHA Vitamin B and Herbal Blend 16 oz

Very bad taste and smell

Began using this product October 9th and my toddler son who is three years old has shown major improvements within days! His pediatrician was concerned about delayed speech and inability to focus and recommended that we enroll him for SPEECH THERAPY! He started the speech therapy and supplement the same day and within days he was more focused. We had challenges reading bedtime stories or teaching him things because his attention span was abnormally short. He missed several days of therapy due to a Hurricane and we continued use of supplement and saw tremendous improvement. We’ve notice great changes in his mannerisms, he looks us in the eyes now and he listens intently. God is good! We also use the Children’s ACF Immune Support from this brand and that is a MIRACLE in a bottle and personally a must have essential vitamin, especially for back to school! The supplement has an acquired taste, normal for quite a few of their products but we’ve found the products to be effective, especially the Immune Support. My three year old takes it like a champ although he resisted in the beginning. Consistency is key if you want to see results. Every child is different so timing of results may vary. You may see results immediately or you may see it after consistent use. UPDATE: I suggest getting multiple bottles because it’s not a 30 day(15 ML PER DAY) supply when you have toddlers that have spills.

Re: taste, not great not terrible. I previously mixed it with a Tablespoon of MRM brand Ca Mg Zn liquid also in an orange flavor. We did that for a month but the kid prefers it straight and gulps OJ afterwards. He's used to it and says he feels better at school on days he has it (picking him up from school on days he's taken it he's happier, says he enjoyed his day. I don't think he even remembers taking it in the morning). After 3 months I can say the positive change in my son's attitude and attention is likely due to adding this supplement. We were traveling for the holidays & ran out. He hasn't had this supplement in 10+ days and we've (hubby, teacher & I) noticed he is more distracted, less able to complete 2 step tasks and just overall more angry. I feel foolish that it just occurred to me he's been without this for about 2 weeks now. The 3 months he was using this he didn't lose his homework, remembered 2-3 step tasks with chores or other household duties, seemed more calm and peaceful / fewer panicking outbursts if plans had to be changed. Both he an I have ADHD diagnosis but are fairly functional unmedicated. I am not against stimulant meds for ADHD & if I weren't pregnant I'd still be on mine. However, the boy is a bundle of energy with a wicked fast metabolism and he still doesn't meet the weight criteria for me to be comfortable to have him start meds. I'm not ruling out meds in his future, but for the time being this trio of supplements is a wonderful asset to our family harmony: Lithium Orotate (4.6-10mg elemental daily, depends on if he played sports that day) MRM brand Ca Mg Zn (with D3 & phosphorous) He's little so just takes 1/2Tablespoon ADDed Attention. 1 Tablespoon daily.

Iwanted to love this!! It's ingredient must was just what I was looking for! But unfortunately I'll never find out how effective this is because my kids absolutely hate it! It smells horrible - VERY vitaminy/medicinal - & it does not taste good at all! I've tried mixing it with orange juice, using a syringe to shoot it to the back of their throat, having them use a straw - nothing works! It took a lot of effort & coaching just to finish 1 bottle...& that was amongst 6 kids so 1 bottle only lasted about 5 days. It was a looooong 5 days!

I have been using this for about a year for my 8 year old son to help with his ADD. He mostly demonstrates a lack of attentiveness / focus and mild hyper activity at times in school. I didn't wish to introduce any meds at this time as he has the ability to do well in school with supports from his IEP and the addition of this supplement. The product seems to be helping him focus better and stay on task at school. He still has some bad days but overall, his performance has improved since introducing Added Attention to his regimen. I keep the product in the fridge and shake it up with every use. Every morning he takes a tablespoon on his way out the door to school. He has no problem with the taste. He says it's more tolerable when it's cold. My sister tried this for my 5 year old niece who has ADHD. My niece is a different case. Her problem is more behavioral...hyper activity and impulsivity issues more so than attentiveness. She reported that it didn't seem to work so well on her. She didn't see any improvements after 2 months of use. So personally, I would recommend this for a child/person with a case of ADD and/or inattentiveness / lack of focus versus one with ADHD and/or behavioral issues. Another option for behavioral issues combined with attention issues would be to possibly introduce a low dose of meds and use the supplement in conjunction with the meds to pack a double punch. Every child/person is different therefore, you have to simply experiment and see what yields the best results. Hope this helps some! God Bless!

I have been giving my children this supplement every day for the past three months. It was recommended to me (at a local health food store) because both of them (ages 7 and 9) are diagnosed with ADHD and we are trying to avoid medicating them if we can. They take this and liquid fish oil every morning before school. Both kids complain about the taste and texture, but have gotten used to it and take a slug of milk afterward to make it less "gross". I don't see any change in my older child's behaviors but have noticed some improvement in my younger child, though this may or may not have anything to do with this product. This is just my experience, I hope others find the supplement more helpful.
