Children who need to focus or concentrate better are often deficient in the amino acid L-glutamine, a precursor for gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA is a neurotransmitter that is needed for proper attentiveness.

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), a natural amino found in the brain, has also been used to support proper attention levels.

Studies have shown essential fatty acids to be beneficial for some children. Other products that are important include multi-vitamins and the minerals iron, magnesium and zinc. Combination formulas contain different nutrients to that may help enhance mental concentration.*
