Hi-Tech’s Attention Link - Product Review
|
DescriptionHi-Tech's Attention Link offers a natural alternative to commonly prescribed drugs for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). It contains a proprietary blend of Phenylethylamine HCL, Acacia Rigidula 70% extract (leaves), DMAE Bitartrate, L-Tyrosine, Gamma Amino Butyric Acid, L-Threonine, Inositol, Theobroma Cocoa Extract (seeds), Citrus Aurantium Extract (seeds, fruit), Naringen (fruit), 6-7 Dihydroxybergamottin (fruit),5-Hydroxytrytophan (5-HTP) and Co-Enzyme B-12 (Dibencozide). Attention Link helps support focus, concentration and brain health. Attention Link provides precursors of neurotransmitters that can help minimize imbalances and dysfunction of message sending systems in the brain. DMAE is a precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Research indicates that DMAE can enhance memory and learning ability and improve hyperkinesis (an older term for ADHD). The amino acids tyrosine and threonine are precursors for biosynthesis of neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine. Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a 'feel good' amphetamine-like chemical naturally found in chocolate and the botanical acacia rigidula. In addition to enhancing mood, PEA stimulates the transmission of brain neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. 5-HTP is produced in the body from the amino acid L-tryptophan. 5-HTP is converted to serotonin, an essential neurotransmitter that helps regulate emotional/mental function, sleep, pain control, inflammation, blood pressure and other body functions. Clinical studies report that it may be effective in treating insomnia and anxiety. The methylxanthines citrus aurantium (synephrine) and theobroma cocoa boost the metabolism, enhance energy levels and promote fat breakdown and thermogenesis (calorie burning). Naringin (a citrus fruits bioflavonoid) and dihydroxybergamottin (bergamot oil) can prolong the activity of methylxanthines. Co-enzyme B12, the biologically active form of vitamin B12, acts directly on muscles, nerves and other cells for a quick burst of energy and fat burning. ProsAttention Link is based on three years of research and development by a top research firm in Belize, Pharmatech Limited. Attention Link's nutrients have the following benefits:
ConsCertain people may experience nausea or headache when taking 5-hydroxy tryptophan. At this time, there is no firm evidence linking 5-HTP with the 1989 L-tryptophan controversy. During manufacture in Japan, a contaminated strain of bacteria was used to synthesize L-tryptophan, causing illness and death. L-tryptophan was subsequently banned in the US then partially lifted, allowing only physicians to prescribe L-tryptophan. Dihydroxybergamottin can affect the metabolism of a variety of pharmaceutical drugs. Naringen can affect the intestinal absorption of certain drugs and should not be combined with prescription medications. Side effects reported with vitamin B12 include mild diarrhea, anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia, breathing problems, chest pain, skin rash and allergic reactions to B12 injections. DMAE may cause depression and hypomania (moderate symptoms of mania). No clinical studies have been conducted on phenylethylamine at this time, so take with caution. It has not been determined if long-term use of tyrosine in large amounts (more than 1,000 mg per day) is safe. Long-term use of tyrosine should be monitored by a health care professional. Citrus aurantium (synephrine) should not be combined with prescription medications. Citrus aurantium (synephrine) and theobroma cocoa may cause insomnia, trembling, anxiety, and urinary frequency. If you regularly drink coffee or caffeinated beverages, Attention Link should be taken in place of your caffeinated beverages, not in addition to them. Individuals sensitive to caffeine's stimulant effects should avoid taking Attention Link. Pregnant or lactating women, people with pre-existing medical conditions or those taking medications should consult a physician before taking Attention Link. Be aware that some drugs may interact with the nutrients in Attention Link including but not limited to:
