Ginkgo Biloba, Scuttellaria Laterifolia (also known as Skullcap), Matricaria Recutita (also known as German Chamomile), Centella Asiatica (also known as Gotu Cola), Avina Sativa (Green Oats), also called Hawer, Urtica Urens, called Umbabazane in Africa, Aspalathus linearis (also know as Rooibos)

Focus is 100% natural, with no side effects, no addiction and no withdrawal.

What is the dosage?

Children up to the age of 15: Take one drop per age year of the child or adolescent in a little water or juice every morning and evening after meals.

Focus can also be combined with BrightSpark homeopathic ADD/ADHD remedy or Focus ADDult herbal ADD remedy.

Adults: Take 20 drops in a little water or juice every morning and evening after meals.

Caution: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Focus is best used in combination with a healthy diet, regular exercise and fresh air.

How often can I take it?

Focus is taken two times daily after meals. It can quite safely and effectively be taken daily. For children, you can opt to not take it on weekends, but be sure to take it daily during the school week.

How quickly does it take effect?

This depends to a large extent on the individual's physiological make-up. While an immediate calming effect is usually noted, it takes a little longer for improvements in concentration, distractibility and memory to be noted. As with BrightSpark,and Focus ADDult the best results are achieved when Focus is used consistently and the recommendations regarding diet and consistent discipline are followed.

How long will I have to take it?

Focus ADHD Formula is an herbal product and is intended to treat the symptoms of ADHD as long as you are taking it. It is quite safe to take forever, if needed. There are no side effects, it is not addictive and it is 100% safe.

If you hope to attain a permanent reduction in the symptoms of ADHD for children, this is possible if you also use BrightSpark. Because BrightSpark is homeopathic, it is possible that use of BrightSpark can permanently improve or eradicate some of the symptoms of ADD or ADHD, and we have seen that in some children.

How long does a bottle last?

One bottle of Focus at full adult dosage (20 drops twice daily) will last 25-30 days. For children under the age of 15 one bottle will last longer as less drops are taken, a bottle of Focus for a 10 year old child for example would last around 50 days. A 90-120 day supply of 3 bottles is offered at a discount (see the Buy 2 Get 1 FREE special).

Is Focus the right product for ADD?

No - Focus is not the product to use for ADD. For children with ADD, use BrightSpark. For adults and teenagers, use Focus ADDult.

Can I take it with BrightSpark?

Yes. While Focus is a very effective herbal remedy for helping with the symptoms of ADHD, for children, it can also be very effectively combined with BrightSpark.

Can I combine Focus with your other Homeopathic remedies?

Yes - Focus can be safely taken with any of our homeopathic medications. This is often recommended, especially for children with anxiety issues (Kiddie Calmer) and who have regular temper outbursts (Tantrum Tamer).

Can I take it with prescription ADD/ADHD medications?

No! Focus should not be combined with prescription ADHD medicines such as Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta etc. It is important to cease using those products before starting to use Focus. Since many of these medications have strong withdrawal effects, you should consult your medical practitioner for advice on how to wean off those products.

If you do wish to combine a natural remedy with these products, then BrightSpark is perfectly safe to take with other ADD/ADHD medications, including Strattera, Concerta, Ritalin and Adderall. Of course, we strongly advocate trying to get kids off these drugs, since their extreme side effects are well-documented. However, if you feel comfortable continuing their use but are looking to augment and improve their results with BrightSpark, this is quite safe to do.

Should I continue to take prescription ADD/ADHD medications?

Ideally, you should stop taking these medications to follow a more natural approach with none of the negative side effects experienced with these drugs. And remember, you cannot take these at the same time as using Focus. It is important to cease using those products before starting to use Focus. Since many of these medications have strong withdrawal effects, you should consult your medical practitioner for advice on how to wean off those products.

How do I wean my child off other ADHD/ADD medications (Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta etc)?

As you know, Adderall, Ritalin and Concerta are amphetamine stimulants and if they have been used for some time, your child will probably experience withdrawal symptoms when he/she stops using it. These are usually fatigue and moodiness, often with frequent tears and low tolerance levels, which can last up to 2 or 3 weeks.

To wean off these, we suggest:

1.Try to find the least stressful time possible to begin to reduce the dosage. A school vacation is often good - especially if some family members can also take time off to support him/her while they are coming off the drug.

2. As our BrightSpark formula can be taken together with any of these drugs without any adverse effects, we recommend that you begin your child on BrightSpark a week or two before you decide to start cutting down on the drug. Incidentally, BrightSpark is also particularly effective with children who have difficulty with anger and violent impulses. Some people experience an almost immediate improvement with BrightSpark, while for others a 3 - 5week period is needed to see significant results. Begin taking the BrightSpark exactly as directed on the bottle.

3. After a week or two of the BrightSpark, halve the dosage of the prescription drug for about a week and then give your child the reduced dosage every second day for a further week. While all may go smoothly, be prepared for some difficult times and try and ensure that there is as little stress on your child during this time as possible. At this point you can begin giving your child a full dosage of Focus ADHD Formula.

4. If all goes well after this, you can completely cut out the prescription drug and continue with BrightSpark and Focus.

Does it have any contraindications?

The only contraindications for Focus are for other prescription psychiatric ADHD medications, including Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall and Strattera. Additionally, Focus should not be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding. For all of these circumstances, use BrightSpark instead as, being homeopathic, it is quite safe for such cases.

Can adults take Focus?

Yes - Focus is intended to be used by children and adults.

Can I take it if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

No! Focus should not be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding. In such cases, use BrightSpark instead as, being homeopathic, it is quite safe.

Does Focus cure ADHD?

No - Focus is intended to help manage the symptoms of ADHD as long as it is being used. However, it is quite safe to take for an indefinite period, being 100% natural, safe and non-addictive.

If you hope to attain a permanent reduction in the symptoms of ADHD for children, this is possible if you also use BrightSpark. Because BrightSpark is homeopathic, it is possible that use of BrightSpark can permanently improve or eradicate some of the symptoms of ADD or ADHD, and we have seen that in some children.

If your child displays regular, severe temper outbursts, it can be very helpful and is quite safe to use Tantrum Tamer along with Focus to eradicate temper tantrums in highly volatile children.

Does Focus help temper tantrums?

Temper tantrums in children with ADHD is often a bi-product of the frustration these children experience in feeling "different" or "out of control". Often, as Focus takes effect, their frustration decreases and so do the temper outbursts. However, in some cases, it can be very helpful and is quite safe to use Tantrum Tamer along with Focus to eradicate temper tantrums in highly volatile children.

Is Focus safe for children and from what age?

Focus can quite safely be given to children from three years and up. Of course, one should be very careful in identifying a three year old child as ADHD or ADD. At that age, this is very difficult to establish and one should be wary about making such diagnoses. However, Focus can quite safely be taken from ages three and up.

Will it help with sleep?

While Focus is not a sleep aid, hyperactivity often plays a role in causing irregular sleep patterns for people with ADHD. As Focus takes effect and reduces hyperactivity, sleep patterns often improve. However, if you feel you need a sleep aid for regular use, consider using Serenite, which is a very effective aid for insomnia and sleep problems.
