“Many people find it hard to concentrate for two reasons. First because their brain has been hyper-stimulated by our digital age. And two, because the food we eat often doesn't contain the micro-nutrients that food did 100 years ago.”
“For example, the number of people who are deficient in B-vitamins, which are critical for peak cognitive functioning, is staggering! As many as 40% of the public is deficient in at least one B vitamin.”
Thomas' solution isn't to prescribe stimulants to students so they can better deal with the onslaught of cognitive stimulation they experience in the world.
He wants to help the students brain deal with the massive over-stimulation they're experiencing and give the brain the micro-nutrients it needs to focus at peak levels for extended periods of time.
It might seem strange that by helping the brain relax one can increase focus and concentration.
However, isn't that what practitioners of meditation have claimed for years?
AddFocus has developed a supplement called, AddFocus XR. While the name is an obvious nod to Adderall, the supplement couldn't be more different.
