A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined the effects of 100mg of pine bark extract supplementation on 57 boys and girls ages 6-14 years (Trebatická et al., 2006) and was clinically shown to improve focus and performance in these school-aged children. In addition to Organic Pine Bark extract, Dr. Formulated Attention & Focus For Kids also contains a Probiotic Brain Blend which includes 10 Billion CFU of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, a clinically studied probiotic to support children’s cognitive health and well-being.
