Learning Factors School-Aid

Feature Summary

Learning Factors is a blend of essential fatty acid rich oils, shown to optimize brain and eye function thereby contributing to normal learning, attention and concentration. Natural Factors has combined three essential polyunsaturated fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA), and gamma linolenic acid (GLA).

Our DHA comes from the highest quality dolphin-friendly tuna oil and the GLA and AA is derived from high quality evening primrose oil. Vitamin E and thyme oil, two well-known antioxidants, preserve the fatty acids to optimize the amounts available to the body. This unique blend is solvent- and pesticide-free and is regularly tested for heavy metals and peroxides.

Learning Factors is ideal for children as well as adults who want to enhance their mental focus naturally and safely. Emerging research shows a strong link between learning, behaviour, concentration and essential fatty acids. Children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD or dyslexia often have low levels of these essential fatty acids. Learning Factors is based on Dr. Jacqueline Stordy's research which shows that children supplemented with long chain essential fatty acids often become calmer and improve in their reading skills.

Parents of children with seizure disorders may want to check with their nutritionally-oriented health care practitioner before taking any supplement that affects brain function.
