The FDA prohibits any supplement company or natural product from claiming to have a natural treatment for any health care condition and this includes mental health conditions such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disoder) or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). ADD-care® therefore makes no claim to be a treatment for ADD, ADHD, or any other mental health condition.

However, ADD-care® has been shown repeatedly to rival the stimulants on several diagnostic indices that strongly suggest its efficacy for symptoms that are often associated with ADD and ADHD. These symptoms include distractibility, impulsiveness, lack of concentration, irritability, procrastination, restlessness, preoccupation, and other ADD and ADHD like symptoms.

ADD-care® was developed by a psychotherapist with over 35 years of clinical experience and a specialty in ADD and a noted naturopathic physician. It has been studied extensively since 2005 by having clients with ADD or ADHD who had been successfully treated with regular stimulant and/or antidepressant medication try ADD-care®.

85% of these clients have decided to forgo their medication and now use ADD-care for their symptoms of distraction and impulsiveness. Most of the other clients use stimulant medication for their symptoms during the day and then use ADD-care® in the late afternoon or evening since stimulant medication can't be used after 4 PM due to appetite and sleep disturbances. ADD-care® has no such side effects. There are even a couple of these clients who use a stimulant medication and ADD-care® together and have reported that they feel even more focused, but feel that ADD-care® minimizes some of the side effects of the stimulants.
