New Study Confirms Benefits of Micronutrient Supplement

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah - Feb. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Q Sciences today released the findings of a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, on the benefits of micronutrient supplementation. Results based on a double blind study found that this micronutrient formula has significant benefits for adults with symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.

“This research reaffirms that EMPowerplus™ Q96 is an effective micronutrient supplement that is helping people improve their lives,” said Daren Hogge, Founder, President, and CEO of Q Sciences. “Additionally, the safety profile of the product has been researched extensively and has been proven to be safe in use over the past 16 years.”

Dr. Julia Rucklidge and her team of researchers successfully completed the placebo-controlled study, which was published January 30^th in the British Journal of Psychiatry. In the study researchers reported:

“We demonstrated that micronutrient treatment induced statistically robust improvements in several indices… Specifically, participants taking the micronutrient formula reported greater improvement in both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity compared with those taking a placebo.”

Dr. Rucklidge states in the publishing, “These results are consistent with a review of over 140 patients treated with this micronutrient formula, which did not identify any significant adverse effects or safety concerns.”

The research publication also identified a major reduction in symptoms of depression (using the MADRS depression rating scale) in those suffering with moderate to severe depression. “A further exploration of the MADRS scores revealed a significant difference in favoring the micronutrient group when a subsample of those with moderate or severe depression at baseline was examined.”

In addition, the researchers stated that 47.6% of the micronutrient group was “much” to “very much improved” over the eight-week study.
