Neurology and Nutrition are involved in Stress and Learning Disabilities

A Learning Disorder or Disability can come from many factors: heredity, a head injury, exposure to toxic substances – but very commonly, learning difficulty can be caused by nutritional shortages in the body which don’t allow the person’s neurological signals between the Brain and Central Nervous System to function properly.

When stress increases, the body needs more calories and would normally break down protein into natural amino acids, sugars and phosphate bonds. But sometimes the body is lacking the ability to synthesize amino acids which play many important functions. At least 30% of the diet should be made up of amino acids when the body is under stress. Extress contains these amino acids. As the body stops this breakdown, the emotional effects and physiological symptoms of stress and anxiety are also lessened. So stress management for the learning challenged is very important.

The natural ingredients in Extress, including popular herbs and nutrients, have been found remarkably effective in providing specific dietary requirements which aid the body’s own innate processes during periods of stress, anxiety, tensions, general patterns of fretfulness, and even minor phobic reactions. When our nutritional requirements have been appropriately addressed, the conscious mind is allowed to become refocused with less effort, and this increases the possibility of more efficient learning.

Some highlights of Extress that can help with stress and anxiety:

St. John's Wort (Hypericum Perforatum): “Monamine oxidases”, the Brain’s 3 main neurotransmitters (Dopamine, Seratonin and Norepinephrine), must work in harmony with each other. St. John’s Wart is documented to help the body relax because of (1) MAO inhibiting properties to keep them in balance (2) acts to increase the amount of circulating Serotonin, which when too low causes detrimental mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and anger along with physical nervous manifestations like migraine and irritable bowel; and (3) inhibits Cortisol and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which also cause anxiety and depression (Cortisol is our main “stress” hormone, and either too much or too little are both a disadvantage to our physical and emotional health).

Taraxacum Officinale: Specifically useful for calming and generally for reducing excessive restlessness and tenseness.

GABA: Helps naturally relax all muscle tissue, relieving tension build-up and reducing blood pressure.

Chinese Herbs such as Radix Condonopsis Pilosulae, Radix Heraclei: Help the body to combat tiredness, tension and stress, and can also soothe over-activity in children.

Specific Branched Chained Amino Acids (BCAAs) and Supporting Amino Acids: which aid in preserving muscle and neural tissue during times of stress and anxiety (the former) and provide critical anti-stress buffering precursors for Brain, Central Nervous System (CNS) and Skeletal needs (the latter).

Extress can be used alone, or as part of our 3-prong strategy, the Attend Strategy Pac, to help improve attention, memory and decrease stress for better learning.
