"Feed My Brain... Smart Nutrition for the Mind"
Discover the Power of FMB and How to Increase Academic Performance
When it comes to your child's physical and mental development, the most critical develop of the brain occurs in the first two decades of life. That's why Feed My Brain (FMB) was formulated. Your child's brain can benefit from the nutrients in the FMB Children's Formula to support proper brain function, if they are missing these nutrients because of the way they eat. Loaded with “learning nutrients,” FMB is a clinically tested dietary supplement that may help increase academic performance in children. Balanced and scientifically formulated to naturally work with the chemistry of the brain, FMB Children's Formula is ideal for ages 5 through 17.
For over 20 years, FMB has been the “lifework” of bio-medical researcher and author, Dr. Alexander Schauss. With nearly three decades of studying the effects of nutrition on brain function, Dr. Schauss began his quest to develop FMB in 1983 following a four year study of the New York City Public School System that tested the effects of diet on academic performance. This study involved more than 800,000 students at all grade levels and was the largest of its kind ever. Dr. Schauss worked with the New York school officials to ensure that they studied the effects of a series of dietary changes on student performance over a four-year period. The results of this study showed that the New York students made the most significant gains in standardized academic test performance of any large school system in the United States! Dr. Schauss worked to isolate the nutrients in the school system diet and in 1991, his book “Eating for A’s” was published. Dr. Schauss then began to systematically modify dietary supplements in tablet form to combine all of the nutrients identified in his book, plus certain phytonutrients and a proprietary natural carrier agent, into a convenient, pleasant tasting, chewable tablet.
After years of testing, the first commercial scale quantities of FMB were introduced and evaluated in open field trials in the Far East. By 1999, with thousands of students having used the product without any reported side effects or adverse events and with consistently positive reports by parents and school officials, Dr. Schauss arranged an independent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to scientifically substantiate its effects of FMB on improving innate I.Q. A macro analysis was published in 1999 covering this study and 12 other randomized, double-blind trials involving more than 1,400 students age 6 to 17 in school systems across the country and around the world. Having carefully evaluated the data points of the study, the authors found that when FMB was taken twice a day, students experienced the largest gain in innate IQ ever reported in children in the world. Impressively, 20% of the students taking FMB, experienced a 15.9 point gain in innate IQ within 3 months, based on a well-validated and reliable standardized intelligence test. In order to place the magnitude of this increase in IQ in social perspective, a typical high school graduate who enters a vocational trade school has an average IQ of 100 while the typical college graduate who is successful in graduate school has an IQ of 115. After the careful comparison between the FMB group and placebo group, the FMB group gained on average 9.97 IQ points compared to a slight increase in IQ in the placebo group. The scientists could find no other explanation for the gain in IQ other than it was due to FMB. The results of the 1999 FMB study were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, 2000: 6(1); 19-29. |
