Buried Treasure Added Attention Kids 6+ Liquid, 200mg Sunflower PS, 16oz

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.

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.

Even as an adult I can't stand the smell and the taste. Plus, it has visible green particles which makes it difficult to disguise under other drinks. My 4YO could detect the taste even in his favorite drinks. The manufacturer did not consider the fact that they have to make it appealing for kids. I am afraid this would even scare him from trying any liquid medication from me. I also feel like I have wasted my money because I don't see us using this vitamin supplement.

I've been trying alternatives to prescription meds because I don't want my son on them. I've been giving this to him for almost a week. He has severe ADHD, ODD and is on the spectrum. It really seems to be helping him. He's more calm and is focusing more. His behavior sheets for school aren't as bad. He still has his moment's but not as much. I've noticed his tics and stimming aren't as severe. He doesnt argue as much or throw fits when he is supposed to do something. This has everything in it that I was looking for. He doesn't mind the taste. I thought this was gross, but I'm not the one taking it. I warned him about the taste and he said he likes it. The only downfall is the price. I am so thankful that I finally found a product that has what I was looking for. I was losing my mind trying to find something that would help him. His behavior and defiance was absolutely horrible and I was losing hope. Anyone with a child that has what mine does knows what I'm talking about. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this helps him long term. Thank you for making this product!

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.

The 8-year-old child in question has extreme focus issues in addition to other symptoms that relate to either ADHD or Asperger's. A week into taking the supplement his focus definitely improved, though his other symptoms (hyperactivity, inability to relate to others, mood swings, etc) did not. While using this supplement he was able to carry full conversations using complete sentences, whereas he is otherwise very jumbled. Something positive was happening within his mind, but his other symptoms still overshadowed those small glimmers of hope. His grades did not improve. His teacher noticed nothing, because he still could not stop being obnoxious. Without regular blood work I fear possible liver damage. We're just not willing to take that gamble. We've had a difficult time with finding him proper medical support throughout custody issues and other associated disasters. Mixed with Organic Grape juice he loved it. But he's a very healthy eater in general. This is a child who would rather have a carrot than a bag of candy. In any event, we chose not to continue use without the strict supervision of a medical professional (ie. regular bloodwork to monitor liver function). If you're helplessly debating about whether or not to try this product for your child, I'd say it's certainly worth a shot, but I strongly recommend a doctor's supervision.

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!

My 4 yr old son has mild autism that's affecting his speech.I came across this and cried when I read reviews saying kids that were totally non verbal started to speak. My son seems to be speaking more w/o prompting. This has the vitamins he was low in b6(which effects ur appetite),b12(which I was told helped a autistic non verbal child begin to speak), iron and gaba which was recommended by a holistic doctor for the brain. They say some autistic kids begin to speak @ 5, so it could be a combination. I feel this couldn't hurt because of his low levels. Traditional doctors dont check that, they recommend therapy/meds.the taste is horrible, mix with strong juice or milk a cap full at a time , more is too over powering. Wont mask taste. Good luck!

Very bad taste and smell
