Where do you get liquid melatonin? How many mg's do you use?

Try DMAE H3. My son(4yo) was very hyperactive, impulsive, had a

difficult time controlling his activity level. It's not a miracle cure

but it help to knock him down a knotch. He's much more manageable in

public. He's not all over the place in new places. It took about 6

weeks for us to really notice any changes but it definitely has

helped. My son is four and we started out with just 3 drops of liquid

in his juice and we've slowly increased it to 6 drops. We realized just

this past New Year's it was working. We had a church dance and my son

was as normal and neuro typical acting as can be. Usually he's all

over the place, running, not predictable in his actions or behaviors.

He sat at the table with us, ate dinner, when he walked around it was a

normal walking pace. It was easy to follow him and manage him. It was

the most wonderful evening we have ever experienced as a family. My

husband and I were doing High-5's at the table. The other thing we

implemented this past fall was Liquid Melatonin. My son would

sometimes take 2 hours to settle into sleep. I literally had to

physically hold him down and try to make him still in order for him to

settle. It was exhausting to know I spent 2 hours every night trying

to get him to sleep. We started the liquid Melatonin and give him 2

drops in a shot glass of juice and he is ready for bed and asleep in 30

minutes. The Melatonin has been life changing for us.

For attention and focus, our ND told us to use Omega 3-6-9's and I will only

use Nordic Naturals. For my younger son (almost 5 yo) he told me to up his

dose rather than to use something like gingko. It has worked for us. For

any kind of anxiety, we use 5-HTP with wonderful success. It is supposed to

be like a prozac alternative. You cannot use this if you are already on an

SSRI though. It is a precursor to serotonin.

Is there any " taste " to the liquid version of DMAE?

It depends on why he is ADHD. I know some kids who do very well with

enzymes, meaning that the ADHD was primarily related to food issues.

No-Fenol seems to be particularly helpful for many kids.

What brand and where do you get liquid DMAE and Melatonin, I use these both and

didn't realize there was a liquid form available?

HI,

You can try herbal medicine ,please visit http:www.thetole.com

it has many types of hyperactive herbs.

Thanks

[Guest guest]

, you just described my son to a T! I think I may look into

that. I had to hold my son down for over an hour every nap and

night to get him to sleep. When I started melatonin it worked

miracles too. I took him off when he would go to bed on his own. I

had to start up again though because he was waking up at 430. Now

he is " sleeping in " until 630-700 again. Thank God for supplements!

Cathie,

I picked it up at a local place it is made by Innovative Natural

Products, www.inponline.com One whole dropper full is 3mg. I am

literally giving him 2 little drops. I just squeezed as much as I

could in the dropper and I counted 25 drops. Not too scientific, I

know... You might be able to call them or email them and get more

information for dosage based on the weight of your child. Their

number is 1-800-893-7467.

,

I just tasted the DMAE.... It is nasty!!!! Salty and bitter at the

same time. It says it is unflavored so I don't know whether they

have a flavored version. It is made by TwinLab. Somehow my son has

been tolerating it in his Juicy Juice. It was under $10.00 for the

bottle and it's lasted a long time.
