Hypersensitivity Disorder is a $1 Billion Dollar Industry
Scottsdale Scientific Inc. (Symbol:STDS), through its wholly owned subsidiary Allergy Research Group Inc., Tuesday announced ProBalance(TM), a multivitamin powder formula designed to support children that are ADD or ADHD challenged.
ProBalance(TM) for Kids is a product that provides key nutrients, such as fatty acids, soluble and insoluble fibers along with important "friendly bacteria" to promote health in overly active children.
ProBalance(TM) for Kids was developed for Scottsdale Scientific by Dr. Mary Ann Block, D.O., founder of the Block Foundation and the Block Center (a medical facility for children and adults with chronic health problems in the Dallas/Fort Worth area).
Based upon her research with the hundreds of patients she has treated, Block has developed this formula to address the nutritional needs of children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD.
She stated, "I have found a consistent pattern of nutritional deficiency in the children and adults I have seen who have been diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. This is why I recommend this comprehensive nutritional support program."
Scottsdale Scientific, in keeping with its commitment to provide quality supplements to all markets, is honored to work with Block in developing ProBalance(TM) for Kids, which addresses nutritional needs of children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD.
Dr. Peter Breggin M.D., director of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology and associate faculty at Johns Hopkins University Department of Counseling, stated in his book, "Talking Back to Ritalin," "America's children are being exposed to a 'prescription epidemic' of dangerous, addictive stimulant drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall. Ritalin does not correct biochemical imbalances, it causes them."
Edward Lau, general manager of Scottsdale Scientific, stated, "A product like this fills several needs. Not only does it address a very large segment of the population of both children and adults who need basic nutritional support, but it also fits well with the needs of forward thinking pharmacists who now have a viable alternative to offer customers using drug related products to treat their children."
Scottsdale Scientific Inc., through their wholly owned subsidiary, Allergy Research Group Inc., is an innovative leader in nutraceutical research and product formulation. Since 1979, the company is noted for quality, hypoallergenic nutritional supplements and supplies products to approximately 6,000 physicians and health care practitioners worldwide.
Allergy Research Group was the first in the U.S. to introduce numerous specialty products including melatonin, a neurohormone, germanium sesquioxide (a trace mineral), AntiOx(TM), a broad-spectrum antioxidant, Buffered Vitamin C and the Total Nutrient Concept. (Includes all in one, proprietary formulas, Total Immune(TM), Total Nerve(TM) and Total Heart(TM)).
