Just like adults, many children struggle with anxiety or ADHD, often at the same time. While being fearful or easily distracted are normal on occasion, when your seven or eight-year-old child’s fears, distractibility, or hyperactivity interfere with their academics, their relationships, or their overall quality of life, it’s best to take action before their symptoms worsen. We first recommend looking for ways to support them at home and considering a gentle medication like Brillia before resorting to prescription medications. 

Oftentimes, a child’s school or their doctor will quickly recommend prescription medications for these symptoms. We recommend taking a gentler route first. Brillia relies on a holistic approach to reducing anxiety and ADHD symptoms, combining homeopathic medication with behavioral modifications. A non-prescription medication that helps to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, restlessness, irritability, and hyperactivity without harsh, synthetic chemicals, Brillia is safe for children as young as five and has no harmful off-target side effects or contraindications with other medications. The active ingredient in Brillia consists of antibodies to the brain-specific S100 protein (S100B), an important regulator of many different intracellular and extracellular brain processes, including mood. Gently and efficiently, Brillia normalizes the processes related to the S100B protein and targets symptoms at their source. Without altering the concentration of the S100B protein in the body, Brillia results in more focus and less worry in children as clinically proven in numerous trials and studies.

Brillia works best in combination with the lifestyle habits outlined in our 5-Pillar methodology. These include limiting their screen use, encouraging them to follow a healthy diet, ensuring they get adequate sleep, and practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques. This multifaceted approach allows children to handle their symptoms in the most effective way for long-term success. 

Brillia’s dosage for seven and eight year olds depends on the severity of their symptoms as you would rate them: moderate or severe. If you are unsure, we suggest starting with the moderate dosage, which means one pill in the morning, one mid-day and one in the evening at least 2 hours before bedtime. Moderate and severe require 3 doses spread out as evenly as possible throughout the day. If you are unable to spread them out evenly because of school, it is still recommended to take 3 doses even if two of them might end up being a little closer together (instead of doubling up on a dose). And if your child is already taking other prescription medications or supplements, you can safely add Brillia to their regimen without worry because there are no contraindications.

If you suspect your seven or eight-year-old child is struggling with anxiety or ADHD or they’ve been formally diagnosed, there are many steps you can take at home to help your child deal with their symptoms. And the sooner you address these symptoms, the better. Teaching them coping mechanisms like mindful breathing or meditation are fantastic ways to equip them with tools to help self-regulate, face their anxiety, and feel more empowered. Expressing positive yet realistic expectations will also help them feel safe and supported while modeling healthy lifestyle habits will give them tools they can practice in their own way. They may also need guidance in limiting their screen use, following a healthy diet, practicing good sleep hygiene, and learning mindfulness techniques.

Brillia’s active ingredients are scientifically formulated to reduce anxiety and enhance focus and clarity for children with attention issues as backed by various clinical trials and studies. These studies have proven Brillia’s safety and efficacy, showing that children taking Brillia had a significant decrease in the severity of their symptoms compared to placebo and experienced no statistically relevant adverse effects. With 10 years of success in Europe, Brillia has provided substantive documentation on this clinical data to the FDA to support the claims the product makes while abiding by all FDA standards and regulations.
