Z is for Zinc: Zinc and School Performance
Study findings presented at the Experimental Biology 2005 meeting in San Diego showed that supplemental zinc helped students perform better in school.
This was a 10-week study of 209 seventh graders, some of whom consumed fruit juice supplemented with zinc while others received regular juice. Those receiving the supplemental zinc had better reaction time on a visual memory test, more correct answers on a word recognition test and had better scores on a task requiring sustained attention and vigilance.
It certainly wouldn’t hurt to try a nutritional approach to improving school performance before some of the recommended medicinals. Feel free to contact me if you’d like more information about this.
