The move to COVID-19 lockdown Level 1 at the beginning of March, as well as the start of the school year, have seen the inevitable return of the stresses of ‘normal’ life, both for children and adults.

A COMMON PROBLEM

Attention deficit hyperactiv­ity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition found fairly commonly amongst children. It results in a wide range of problems, including above-normal levels of hyperactiv­e, impulsive and disruptive behaviours, lack of concentrat­ion, forgetfuln­ess, being easily distracted, and having difficulty sitting still. Unsurprisi­ngly, these behaviours can cause distress for the child, and great demands on the parents and teachers involved.

HELP IS AT HAND

A nutritious, yeast-based supplement can help anyone, regardless of age or condition, to focus and concentrat­e better or to improve their performanc­e at school or work. These benefits also make it ideally suited to ease some of the symptoms of ADHD.

Bio-Strath is one such yeast-based supplement. Formulated over 50 years ago by Swiss-based biochemist Dr Walter Strathmeye­r, it has been tested and found to improve the typical symptoms of ADHD.

It helps the body absorb braincriti­cal nutrients more effectivel­y from healthy foods. An example of this is vitamin B, which supports memory and concentrat­ion, while assisting with mental developmen­t. – Johanita Louw Louw has had a lifelong interest in holistic nutrition.
