Research Studies Involving Children and EMPowerplus
Consider the following studies that have been completed to analyze the benefits of EMPowerplus with children:
- Anxiety and Stress in Children Following an Earthquake: Clinically Beneficial Effects of Treatment with Micronutrients
- “The study provided evidence that treatment with a dietary supplement containing micronutrients reduced children’s post-disaster anxiety to a clinically significant degree.”
- Clinically Significant Symptom Reduction in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Treated with Micronutrients: An Open-Label Reversal Design Study
- “This study demonstrates the clinical benefit,
