ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains to the field of nutritional formulas. Specifically, the present invention pertains to an improved formula for nervous system disorders.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
There are many disorders that affect the proper functioning of the nervous system. Examples of these disorders include autism, ADD, ADHD, hyperactivity disorder, and depression. People who suffer from these disorders often have common secondary symptoms including allergies, sluggish digestion, weak immune function and poor diet.
Treatment for these various nervous system disorders include the use of synthetic drugs. Specifically, for ADD and ADHD mild central nervous system stimulant drugs such as Ritalin®, Cylert® and Dexedrine® have been used. These drugs are not always successful. Moreover, such drugs may lead to undesirable side effects such as loss of appetite, insomnia, headaches, stomachaches, drowsiness and cardiac arrhythmia.
There is, therefore, a need for new treatments of nervous system disorders that avoid the disadvantages of the known treatments. It is an objective of the present invention to provide such treatments. More specifically, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a new treatment for nervous system disorders, better than known methods, while at the same time avoiding the side effects observed with traditional drugs. Additional objects and advantages of the present invention are apparent from the specification which follow.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, the foregoing and additional objects are obtained by providing a novel composition for treating nervous system disorders. The composition is formed by preparing a mixture comprising an effective amount of vitamin B-6, folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin B-3, copper, probiotics, fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), betaine, pancreatin, papain, pepsin, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-12, biotin, pantothenic acid, chromium polynicotinate and a digestive support ingredient selected from the group consisting of dandelion root, juniper, aloe vera, burdock, ginger root, artichoke, and kelp. Other ingredients may include: beta carotene, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, sea vegetation, alfalfa, trace minerals and molybdenum.
In a preferred embodiment, the composition is formed by preparing a mixture comprising an effective amount of beta carotene, vitamin E, selenium, vitamin B-6, folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, niacinamide, vitamin B-12, zinc, copper, biotin, pantothenic acid, dandelion root, acidophilus dairy free, bifidus dairy free, FOS powder, chromium polynicotinate, betaine HCl, pancreatin, papain, and pepsin.
The effective range amount of each ingredient for sixty pounds of body weight is as follows: 1,250-25,000 IU beta carotene, 25-400 IU vitamin E, 25-100 mcg selenium, 100-500 mg vitamin B-6, 400-800 mcg folic acid, 250-1,000 mg vitamin C, 125-500 mg magnesium, 12.5-50 mg vitamin B-1, 12.5-50 mg vitamin B-2, 15-60 mg niacinamide, 12.5-50 mcg vitamin B-12, 8-50 mg zinc, 250-1,000 mcg copper, 25-100 mcg biotin, 12.5-50 mg pantothenic acid, 250-2,000 mg dandelion root, 500-3,000 million cfu acidophilus dairy free, 500-3,000 million cfu bifidus dairy free, 250-500 mg FOS powder, 100-200 mcg chromium polynicotinate, 15-100 mg betaine HCl, 125-1,000 mg pancreatin, 50-250 mg papain, and (1:3000) 15-100 mg pepsin.
In a preferred embodiment, the effective amount of each ingredient for sixty pounds of body weight is as follows: 5000 IU beta carotene, 50 IU vitamin E, 25 mcg selenium, 500 mg vitamin B-6, 400 mcg folic acid, 500 mg vitamin C, 250 mg magnesium, 25 mg vitamin B-1, 25 mg vitamin B-2, 30 mg niacinamide, 25 mcg vitamin B-12, 10 mg zinc, 500 mcg copper, 50 mcg biotin, 25 mg pantothenic acid, 250 mg dandelion root, 500 million cfu acidophilus dairy free, 500 million cfu bifidus dairy free, 250 mg FOS powder, 100 mcg chromium polynicotinate, 30 mg betaine HCl, 250 mg pancreatin, 100 mg papain, and (1:3000) 30 mg pepsin.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The composition of the present invention acts to assist in treatment of nervous system disorders. The concept of the composition is to give the body the tools it needs to digest, absorb, manufacture and utilize nutrients that help in the formation of neurotransmitters. This composition has a balancing effect in the body.
The components may be mixed in any order to prepare the composition. The composition may comprise the same components that were added to the mixture, or items from which the components may be derived.
The components of the composition are in a form that are systemically absorbable by a human. The composition may be in tablet, capsule or powder form. The powder can be mixed in water or other consumable liquid and may be flavored for taste.
Each capsule contains a unit dose of each component. An effective dose is one capsule per approximate 10 pounds of body weight. Said dose is preferably taken divided among meals and snacks eaten during the day. For example, a 60 pound child would take 6 capsules daily—2 with breakfast, 2 with lunch, 2 with dinner. A dose in powder form is one teaspoon per 20 pounds of body weight.
The components may be formulated for administration into one composition containing all the components. Alternatively, the components may be formulated into more than one composition, each which contains one or more of the components. In addition, each component may constitute a separate composition, and be administered separately. It is preferable to administer the smallest number of separate compositions. Yeast, wheat, corn and gluten products are avoided as fillers.
In the discussions below, all numbers are approximate, unless otherwise stated. MG stands for milligram, MCG stands for microgram and IU represents international units and CFU means colony forming units.
According to the present invention, the foregoing and additional objects are obtained by providing a novel composition for treating nervous system disorders. The composition is formed by preparing a mixture comprising an effective amount of vitamin B-6, folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin B-3, copper, probiotics, fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), betaine, pancreatin, papain, pepsin, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-12, biotin, pantothenic acid, chromium polynicotinate and a digestive support ingredient selected from the group consisting of dandelion root, juniper, aloe vera, burdock, ginger root, artichoke and kelp. Other ingredients may include: beta carotene, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, sea vegetation, alfalfa, trace minerals and molybdenum.
In a preferred embodiment, the composition is formed by preparing a mixture comprising an effective amount of beta carotene, vitamin E, selenium, vitamin B-6, folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, niacinamide, vitamin B-12, zinc, copper, biotin, pantothenic acid, dandelion root, acidophilus dairy free, bifidus dairy free, FOS powder, chromium polynicotinate, betaine HCl, pancreatin, papain, and pepsin.
The effective range amount of each ingredient for sixty pounds of body weight is as follows: 1,250-25,000 IU beta carotene, 25-400 IU vitamin E, 25-100 mcg selenium, 100-500 mg vitamin B-6, 400-800 mcg folic acid, 250-1,000 mg vitamin C, 125-500 mg magnesium, 12.5-50 mg vitamin B-1, 12.5-50 mg vitamin B-2, 15-60 mg niacinamide, 12.5-50 mcg vitamin B-12, 8-50 mg zinc, 250-1,000 mcg copper, 25-100 mcg biotin, 12.5-50 mg pantothenic acid, 250-2,000 mg dandelion root, 500-3,000 million cfu acidophilus dairy free, 500-3,000 million cfu bifidus dairy free, 250-500 mg FOS powder, 100-200 mcg chromium polynicotinate, 15-100 mg betaine HCl, 125-1,000 mg pancreatin, 50-250 mg papain, and (1:3000) 15-100 mg pepsin.
In a preferred embodiment, the effective amount of each ingredient for sixty pounds of body weight is as follows: 5000 IU beta carotene, 50 IU vitamin E, 25 mcg selenium, 500 mg vitamin B-6, 400 mcg folic acid, 500 mg vitamin C, 250 mg magnesium, 25 mg vit
