Potential Impact of a Nutritional Factor on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Using Amaranth

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder increasing in prevalence. The core features of this disorder include developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity, distractibility, and motoric over activity. There is enough research evidence that help patients with ADHD in other to get real benefits with protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamin D, zinc, ferritin, and magnesium. These nutrients have important roles in neurologic function, including involvement in neurotransmitter synthesis. The aim of this work is to present a product from amaranth seed extract in a powder form that treats ADHD disorder and has been approved by the Federal Committee for Protection from Sanitary Risks in Mexico. The product has been tested by several hundred Mexican children and adolescents with ADHD.
