Focus-Mate™ is a supplement that supports self-regulation, focus and concentration. This is the first combination product to contain optimal doses of the following researched-based ingredients: Vitamin B6 – This water-soluble vitamin is required for many essential functions in the body including normal brain development and the synthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain. A side effect of B6 deficiency is difficulty concentrating and short-term memory loss.Magnesium – This essential mineral calms the hyperactive body and mind and assists with the regulation of blood sugar. Magnesium deficiency is common in 80% of the American population.Acetyl-L-Carnitine – An important nutrient that is derived from the amino acids Tyrosine and Methionine and helps the body convert fatty acids into energy. Adequate amounts of L-Carnitine or Acetyl-L-Carnitine are needed for the synthesis of DHA (found in fish oil) which is critical for healthy brain function. Research has shown a relationship between low plasma levels of Carnitine with behavior problems.Phosphatidylserine (soy free) – A critical phospholipid made from the amino acid Serine and fatty acids that is critical for the proper functioning of brain cells. This supplement has been shown in studies to support optimal memory, mood, attention and self-regulatory behaviors.Pycnogenol – An extract from the bark of the French maritime pine that possesses potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Pycnogenol has been shown in research studies to both increase glutathione levels and to decrease the level of stress hormones which can reduce the overall amount of oxidative stress in the body. Suggested Dosage: Take 2-4 capsules daily in divided doses, between meals or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. For optimal benefit, it is highly recommended that this supplement be taken with 1-2 grams of purified fish oil daily. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is energizing so it is recommended to not take it after 4:00 pm.
