Will Immunocal help children with ADHD?
The results of a clinical trial published in 2003, indicates that subjects with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are subjected to higher levels of oxidative stress .

Another study published in the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics involving 1139 children, who were representative of the general US population, found that children with higher concentrations of organophosphate pesticides “were more likely to be diagnosed as having ADHD.” The researchers found that “children with levels higher than the median of detectable concentrations” of one of the most commonly detected organophosphate pesticides “had twice the odds of ADHD compared with children with undetectable levels.” The paper concludes: “These findings support the hypothesis that organophosphate exposure, at levels common among US children, may contribute to ADHD prevalence.”

Additionally, children with ADHD have been found to have higher levels of mercury in their system . For example, in August 2006, The University of Hong Kong published the results of a clinical study in Neuropediatrics , which demonstrates that blood mercury levels are higher for children with ADHD. “There was significant difference in blood mercury levels between cases and controls.” And the study concluded: “High blood mercury level was associated with ADHD.”

Immunocal is scientifically and clinically proven to optimize your levels of glutathione. Glutathione is your body’s master antioxidant, and as such, it reduces oxidative stress. Glutathione is also the main enzyme your body uses to eliminate toxins, including organophosphate pesticides and toxic heavy metals like mercury. Hence, some subjects of ADHD have reported beneficial results from supplementation with Immunocal.
