LTO3: food supplement for ADHD
-
Do you suffer from ADHD, ADD, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia or nerves? LTO3 is a dietary supplement that seems to help against all kinds of psychological complaints. What's in it and what's already known about it?
-
LTO3 is from Canada. There it has been used for about ten years by people with ADD and ADHD. In the Netherlands it is not yet well known.
The ingredients
-
There are three ingredients in LTO3: L-Theanine Fishweed extract (sementis) Blue skullcap L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves. A calming effect is attributed to this. It is not only in LTO3, but also in other supplements and products that are said to have a relaxing effect. Sementis is an extract of wild herring roe from the Atlantic Ocean. This seems to reduce fatigue. It also contains many omega-3 fatty acids. These fish fatty acids are more often used in people who suffer from ADHD. There is no scientific evidence yet that they work, but they cannot hurt either. Skullcap or Scutellaria lateriflora is a plant from the lavender family. The above-ground part of this plant is used in LTO3. It is said to have a calming effect and reduce stress and anxiety. It also relieves nerves, nerve pain and insomnia, according to the manufacturer of LTO3. These positive effects have not been scientifically proven either.

How to use?
-
LTO3 are capsules with powder, which are supplied in a jar. The capsules are easy to open, so that the powder can be mixed with water if necessary. You can also easily swallow the capsules in one go. If you weigh more than 45 kilograms, you should take three capsules a day 10 minutes before breakfast. If you weigh less than 45 kilograms, you will need two capsules per day. There are 90 pieces in a jar. A jar is therefore good for 30 to 45 days. If you start with LTO3 you may not notice the effect immediately. When the effect does become visible differs per person. This varies from 30 minutes to a number of days. You may also notice almost or nothing at all. Some people use LTO3 as a natural alternative to medications such as Ritalin and Concerta. They indicate that due to its effective effect, they were able to wean off their normal medication and eventually stop sometimes. Annoying side effects of medication like Ritalin also disappeared. However, LTO3 is not a proven substitute for medications like Ritalin. This is because Ritalin has been scientifically proven to be effective for some of the ADHDers and this is not the case with LTO3.
Side Effects
-
According to the manufacturer, few side effects are reported and LTO3 is not harmful in combination with other drugs. Anyone over the age of three can take it. It works for about eight to ten hours during the day and is not addictive. There is also no rebound effect, whereby the complaints get worse after the effect. However, LTO3 can make the symptoms worse in the first three days after starting to take it.
Disadvantage
-
The disadvantage of LTO3 is that it is very expensive. At the moment there is only one insurance company in the Netherlands that will reimburse it. Another objection is that the effect of LTO3 has not been scientifically proven. There are many sites with positive comments and explanations about the drug, but many of them also sell the drug. This information is therefore not that reliable. Inquiries with a number of specialists showed that little is known about this drug. You will find a lot of advertising, but no scientifically substantiated evidence for the effect of LTO3.
