Last month, Dr. Julia Rucklidge and a team of New Zealand researchers published an article in the British Journal of Psychiatry a paper that outlines their investigation into the efficacy and safety of EMPowerplus in the treatment of ADHD in adults.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition and the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder in childhood often persisting into adulthood.
As many as one in 20 adults have ADHD marked by symptoms such as inattention and lack of concentration, impulsiveness, and difficulty controlling behaviour. Many other symptoms are associated with ADHD including hyperactivity, bipolar and panic disorders, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety.
Researchers at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand used a double blind, placebo controlled study finding that the nutritional supplement Truehope EMPowerplus has significant benefits for adults with psychiatric symptoms of ADHD, depression, hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention.
Dr. Rucklidge appeared on the Holy Hormones Honey! internet radio show on Thursday, February 20, 2014, to discuss her research. If you miss the episode, you can listen to the archive on VoiceAmerica or using the player below.
