BIOFOCUS RICE BASE - BERRY / WHEY BASE - CHOCOLATE A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS, 4 YEARS OLD & UP (INCLUDING OVERACTIVE CHILDREN & ADULTS)

  • Healthy meal replacement
  • Supports healthy energy balance
  • Complete multivitamin/mineral
  • Safe alternative supplement

Your healthcare provider has recommended BioFocus for you and/or your child. Experts with over 20 years of experience in diet and nutrition have specifically designed this product for both children and adults. BioFocus has also been specifically designed to promote good health.

The safe and effective care of you and/or your child is a priority for us, as we know it is for you. The following questions are ones that you may want addressed in selecting a health promotion program for you and/or your child:

1. WHAT SPECIFICALLY ARE YOU RECOMMENDING FOR MY CHILD AND/OR ME?

We are happy to introduce you to a nutritional approach to the care of your overactive child and/or adult known as BioFocus. Certified nutrition professionals and doctors specializing in nutritional care of overactive children have designed this program. It is intended to address the deficiencies and improve the nutritional status of your overactive child and/or adult.BioFocus consists of a delicious “nutrition shake,” a healthy diet,and daily exercise.

BIOFOCUS SHAKE: A delicious nutrition shake taken daily at breakfast. It contains nutritionally balanced amounts of protein,carbohydrates, and essential fats with effective quantities of critical nutrients intended to begin the day with a healthy approach.

PROPER DIETARY HABITS AND EXERCISE: The symptoms that overactive children and adults experience are sometimes activated by a diet that is over-dependent on simple sugars, chemical additives, and processed foods. Providing the overactive child/adult a fresh, non-processed diet that is rich in nutrient density and low in simple sugars is a vital component in the BioFocus program. A daily exercise program suited to you or your child’s ability is suggested as well. As an adult or a parent, you can judge the appropriate level and intensity of exercise for you and/or your child in conjunction with your healthcare provider and adjust amounts accordingly.

2. HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM OR SUPPLEMENT WORK & WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN THIS PRODUCT?

The BioFocus program works by improving the nutritional status of you and/or your overactive child. The following nutrients are critical to the success of the program:

TYROSINE: In a healthy body, tyrosine is converted into chemicals that support normal brain, thyroid, and adrenal function. The brain neurotransmitter dopamine (dopamine receptors are targeted by commonly used hyperactivity drugs) is derived from tyrosine. The nutrient co-factors magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C help the body create dopamine from tyrosine.

L-GLUTAMINE: This amino acid supports healthy gut and immune function and serves as the base for the formation of GABA. GABA (GammaAmino Butyric Acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and is one of the most calming chemicals in the brain.

L-PHENYLALANINE (LPA): This essential amino acid is better absorbed than, and a precursor to, tyrosine. It works specifically with brain neurotransmitters and is involved in brain chemistry, mood and pain regulation,and growth.

AMERICAN GINSENG: This herb has a long history of improving individual stress tolerance and adrenal function. Stress creates chemical changes in the body that promote overactivity and, in extreme situations, can reduce oxygen delivery to the brain.

GINKGO BILOBA: This herb is known to improve circulation and therefore enhance cognitive function. Although Ginkgo biloba has historically been utilized with older individuals, current research finds it effective for children diagnosed with attention problems and/or overactivity.

PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE: This substance can help in optimizing brain function by enhancing the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and promotes the production of calming alpha brain waves.

DMG: Dimethylglycine (DMG) promotes proper oxygenation of the brain. It is also utilized in methylation reactions critical to proper brain and nervous system function.

GRAPE SEED AND PINE BARK EXTRACTS: These plant extracts contain potent antioxidants called proanthocyanidins, which can aid in protecting the brain from damage due to oxidative stress.

5-HYDROXYTRYPTOPHAN: 5-HTP serves as a precursor to the critically important amino acid L-Tryptophan. L-Tryptophan has calming effects and enhances the production of the calming neurotransmitter, serotonin.

SODIUM SULFATE: Sulfate is utilized in the liver to deactivate toxic compounds. Toxins either ingested or created within the body can impair brain function

INOSITOL: High levels of inositol are found within the brain and central nervous system. It plays a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes. Inositol is also converted into phosphatidylinositol, which is involved in the intracellular messaging system and the proper release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine.

VITAMIN B6: Vitamin B6 serves as a co-factor in the formation of brain chemicals and supports adrenal gland function. This can help the child and/or adult remain calm during stressful situations. BioFocus predominantly uses the activated, most bio-available and phosphorylated form of vitamin B6 known as P5P (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate).

VITAMIN B12: People with low levels of this important vitamin often experience neurological symptoms. In addition, vitamin B12deficiency causes a type of anemia that impairs the ability of red blood cells to deliver oxygen to the brain.

VITAMIN C: This vitamin has long been known to enhance immune function. Along with this wonderful benefit, vitamin C helps the body manage stress by assisting in the formation of calming brain neurotransmitters and supporting adrenal function.

ZINC: Zinc improves immune function and assists in the formation of calming brain neurotransmitters.

CALCIUM: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body.It helps maintain acid base balance within the body and can help to improve the efficiency of the body’s many enzyme reactions.

FOLIC ACID: Folic acid, along with magnesium, vitamin B6and vitamin B12, works to protect the health and function of the central nervous system and heart.

MAGNESIUM: Magnesium is involved in approximately 80% of the chemical reactions that occur in the body. Magnesium is a calming mineral and assists in the formation of brain chemicals that can relax a child and/or adult as well as improve concentration capacity. Magnesium deficiency is common in the American processed-food laden diet. The nutrients discussed above are contained in a base powder, which also serves as a full spectrum multivitamin.You and/or your child will love this delicious shake, which is also designed to comprehensively enhance his or her nutrition. A blend of natural flavorings,protein, simple and complex carbohydrates, and essential fats provide a great source of nutrition without negative effects on blood sugar. You and/or your child will look forward to their tasty daily BioFocus shake.

3. IS THE PROGRAM PROVEN SAFE? ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

All of the nutrients included in BioFocus rice berry and BioFocus chocolate whey were chosen for their effectiveness and safety. Research has been done to present to you the highest level of safety for you and/or your child. However, it is always advisable when starting any new supplement program to start out at a low dosage (possibly 25% of the recommended dosage) and gradually increase to the recommended dosage in 7-10 days. Great care has been taken to balance nutrient ratios, such as the P5P (vitamin B6) and 5-HTP levels, in order to account for their synergistic actions and to avoid potential side effects.

4. WHAT RESULTS SHOULD I EXPECT AND WHEN?

You may notice a fairly rapid balance in you and/or your child’s energy levels. Some people respond in several days with the improved nutritional supplementation of BioFocus and others may take a little longer.Marked improvements are generally seen in 2-4 weeks and continuation of the program with improved diet and exercise will lead to positive healthy results.

5. HOW LONG SHOULD I OR MY CHILD TAKE THESE SUPPLEMENTS OR PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM?

BioFocus is specially formulated to correct the nutrient deficiencies commonly associated with overactivity or impaired concentration. You and/or your child may require less of the product. As you see improvement in you and/or your child, you can reduce the dosage of the product at any time without worry of withdrawal. You may also continue to provide it at the suggested dosage as a healthy meal replacement and multivitamin supplement.

6. WHAT OTHER SUPPORTIVE MEASURES CAN I PARTICIPATE IN TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF MYSELF ORMY CHILD?

The BioFocus program is not a substitute for good comprehensive health care.Children/ adults that are overactive or have difficulty concentrating may have problems with blood sugar, food or airborne allergies, toxic metals like lead or mercury, problems with yeast, fungus, or parasites, or even thyroid dysfunction. There is no substitute for a physician who knows how to screen for and correct these problems. In general, a diet that is low in refined sugars and includes increased amounts of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and pure water is recommended. Proper rest and healthy levels of exercise can also provide a tremendous health benefit to you and/or your child. See handout for diet recommendations.

BIOFOCUS IS A HEALTHY MEAL REPLACEMENT.

BioFocus is made of easily digestible foods that rarely cause allergic reactions. BioFocus Rice Base is free of wheat, rye, oats, barley, dairy,citrus, eggs and peanuts. No fillers or artificial colors/flavors are used.

Question: Is there Caffeine in the Chocolate Whey BioFocus for Kids product?
Answer:

Q: Is there caffeine in the Chocolate Whey BioFocus for Kids product?  My husband and children are very sensitive to it.  I'm assuming there is, but if not, my children would very happily take a chocolate flavored ANYTHING each day :-)

I will order a container as soon as I hear back from you.

Thanks!


A: The Bio-Focus Whey Chocolate for Kids contains cocoa powder. Cocoa powder does contain a small amount of caffeine.

However, the BioFocus Rice Berry for Kids does not contain any caffeine.

My children prefer the Rice Berry over the Whey Chocolate. In fact, I would say the Rice Berry flavor sells 4:1 over Whey Chocolate.

Here is a PDF document about BioFocus which you may find useful.


Other products which are beneficial for neurological support are:
- Bacopa Plus
- Cognifactors by BioGenesis

Sensitivity to caffeine is typically due to an ineffective phase 1 liver detoxification pathway - specifically the Cytochrome P450 pathway. Nutrients which can improve phase 1 are B vitamins and vitamin C.

If your family enjoys grapefruit juice, they may need to stop for a bit and choose a different juice. Grapefruit considerably slows down the liver phase 1 pathway thereby stopping the breakdown of caffeine and other compounds.

Once phase 1 is improved, phase 2 needs to be improved as well, otherwise a bottle-neck of halfway metabolized toxins from phase 1 will not be able to get out of the body.

Thus, your family may need to take B vitamins, vitamin C, eat broccoli, cabbage, onions and all those sulfur containing foods. These all help immensely in phase 1 liver support.

Part of the ADD/ADHD problem can be due to ineffective detoxification of liver phases 1 and 2. If one builds up toxicity and compounds such as caffeine, it is no wonder they show symptoms of hyperactivity.

Consider looking at a product which stimulates phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification pathways.

A complete kit for this is the BioCleanse powder and BioCleanse capsules. The BioCleanse powder is more Phase 1 support and the BioCleanse capsules are more phase 2 support.

Should you have further questions, please do ask!

Completely off meds!
My son was on Strattera, and Aderall before that. He has been on Bio-Focus for 2 months and completely off any meds. Yeah! He is doing well, we also have him on tryptophan and a product called Limbic Balance by Pacific Biologics to supplement. This combination is working beautifully. All credit goes to his alternative doctor who examined the ingredients of Bio-Focus and believes in the quality and effectiveness of the product. Thank you Biogenesis for creating this wonderful product/alternative to prescription meds-which are labeled as narcotics. i am glad to be relieved of the guilt from being (forced) to have my son ingest such toxic poisons. He is extremely intelligent, and being forced to learn in a setting that is not conducive to his learning technique is also a major factor in our schools. It is my hope that we can, one day, design a better school system that teaches according to the way each child learns best, and move away from the societal herd mentality at present.

    • Dr. Ben, I have been giving my 6 year old your children's multivitamin, which has the active forms of folic acid and B12 (the only one on the market that I have been able to find by the way) but I am also looking for a protein powder to give to my daughter in the mornings. She has ADD and most likely has MTHFR. I am Homozygous with the C677 and the A1298 mutation. We are in the middle of having her tested.

      I would love to give her the kids BioFocus, but it does not have the active forms of folic acid and B12. Any suggestions?

      Thanks, Amy
    • Hi Amy - Sorry for the delay. I am not sure if you know we have a new chewable multivitamin which tastes pretty good and offers the active form of methylfolate and methylcobalamin. This is useful if she has troubles swallowing 3 capsules twice a day - breakfast and lunch. If you want to try this one, consider giving her 1 chewable tablet with breakfast and 1 with lunch. http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-multivitamin-60-chewable-tablets-seeking-health.html I recommend having both the Kid's Optimal Multivitamin and the Chewable Optimal Multivitamin on hand. I find my middle boy, Mathew, age 6, likes to switch back and forth depending on what he feels like doing - chewing or swallowing ;) I recommend you consider Paleomeal DF Berry Vanilla protein powder. Mix in some rice milk, blend and add a tablespoon of Optimal Fish Oil. If you'd like, blend with frozen blueberries or raspberries for additional antioxidants. Here is the Paleomeal DF: http://www.healthegoods.com/paleomeal-df-berry-cream.html Here is the Optimal Fish Oil - which tastes quite good! http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-fish-oil-liquid-8-ounces.html I also recommend the use of L-Tyrosine as research has shown much benefit in those with ADD/ADHD. Consider using 1/2 capsule mixed in some juice first thing in the morning. http://www.healthegoods.com/tyrosine-supplement-seeking-health.html If you see some improvement with 250 mg of L-Tyrosine (half a capsule), proceed to increase the amount to 1 capsule which provides 500 mg. You may have to give her 250 mg of L-Tyrosine twice a day first and then increase the morning amount to 1 capsule of 500 mg. Then if she is still improving but not enough, consider 500 mg two times a day - AM and before lunch. Keep me posted. I bet you'll see some significant improvement! In health, Dr Ben
