Pharmacological Actions and Mechanism of Action for Hyperactivity

Acacia: Contains prebiotic fibers that help balance the gut flora and enhance the absorption of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals.

Hops: Used for the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, sleep disorders, restlessness, irritability, hyperactivity, inattention, and anger. Hops has an appetite-stimulating effect and has been shown to be effective in treating insomnia after 14 days of use by improving sleep onset and sleep quality.

Lemon Balm: Used for treating anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, hyperactivity, inattention, and neurogenic digestive and cardiac disorders. It has a calming effect and reduces alertness. The essential oil of lemon balm contains terpenes that are rapidly absorbed, cross the blood-brain barrier, and activate GABA receptors, inducing relaxation.

Bitter Orange: Acts as a calming agent for nervous stress and is used to treat insomnia. It also stimulates appetite and relieves neurogenic stomach pain.

Passionflower: Has analgesic and sedative effects and is used to treat insomnia, anxiety-related gastrointestinal disturbances, and neurogenic pain, particularly in children. It is also used for hyperactivity and inattention.

Skullcap: Studies have shown that the root of Skullcap has sedative properties. Its potential antidepressant effects may be linked to the inhibition of monoamine oxidase enzymes. This herb also enhances the immune system.

Vitamin B6 and Magnesium Gluconate: Together with other ingredients, these help in regulating nerve balance.

Side Effects

Passionflower: No side effects were observed with therapeutic doses and one-month usage. Some patients may experience dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, imbalance, or lack of coordination during movement.

Skullcap: May cause gastrointestinal disturbances and skin hypersensitivity reactions.

Lemon Balm: May cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, and wheezing.
