Scientific Validation

The effectiveness of treatment with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas has been validated in a scientific clinical trial conducted at the Paediatric ADHD and Adaptation Clinic of the Sheba Medical Centre in Israel, headed by Dr. Miri Katz, a paediatric psychiatrist.

120 children between the age of 6 to 12 years, who had been diagnosed as suffering from ADD or ADHD, and who had not been previously treated with any medication, participated in the clinical trial. The participants were divided into 3 groups: a group of 40 children suffering from ADHD; a group of 40 children suffering from ADHD; and a third group, comprising the remaining 40 children, serving as a control group. All the participants underwent various tests (TOVA tests, Connors questionnaires and Achenbach questionnaires for parents) for the purpose of evaluating their condition, as well as a clinical interview by a paediatric psychiatrist, conducted according to DSM-IV criteria.

During the 4-month treatment period, the children in the first group received one teaspoon (5 cc) of Nurture & Clarity® medicinal plant formula and those in the second group received the same quantity of Nurture & Clarity-H® formula - diluted in a quarter cup of water. The formula was taken 3 times a day, shortly before mealtime. The children in the control group received a placebo formula, which was similar in colour and taste to the Nurture & Clarity® formulas, however, did not include medicinal plants.

At the end of the 4-month trial period, all the participants underwent the same tests again, the questionnaires were filled out by their parents, and the children were interviewed by a paediatric psychiatrist, in order to evaluate the effect of the treatment with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas. The results revealed that, based on scientific criteria, significant improvement was evident in four different attention-related parameters among the children in the first two groups, while those in the third group did not demonstrate any noteworthy improvement. It is important to emphasize that no negative side effects were reported among the participants.

The article summarizing the scientific clinical trial will be published on this web site following its publication in a scientific journal in the near future.
