Calvin is a 8 years old boy who often showed restlessness, irritability, impulsivity and a proneness to violence. His parents had been complaining about Calvin’s naughty behavior at home. He was very easily irritated and agitated when playing with his younger sister, Joey. He always bullied and kicked her while playing at home. In addition, he threw and destroyed his sister’s toys and always created arguments with her. Calvin’s parents were very concerned about his behavior and brought him to EdPsychTM, Centre for Educational Psychology, Centre of Excellence for Educational Achievement in International Psychology Centre (IPC) for psychoeducational assessments. The psychologists suspected that his aggressive behaviors were contributed by nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, they conducted a number of psychonutritional tests including the Kryptopyrrole Test using Calvin’s urine to find out the lack of specific nutrients on him.

Deficiencies of vitamins are known to be associated with irritability. These include niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamine, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. Research showed that adverse behavioral changes precede specific clinical findings in a number of vitamin deficiencies. It is not known that how frequently aggressive behaviors are a sign of marginal vitamin deficit. Kryptopyrrole Test is able to measure the levels of kryptopyrrole. Elevated levels of kryptopyrrole produced symptoms such as irritability, anger episodes, easily frustrated and inability to deal with stress. In addition, kryptopyrrole elevation can also be associated with poor tolerance of physical stress. Research showed people who having unhealthy diets were found to have biochemical evidence of marginal thiamine deficiency. These individuals tend to behave more impulsively, highly irritable, aggressive and highly sensitive to criticism.

Results of kryptopyrrole test showed that Calvin had deficiencies of several vitamins including vitamin B6, zinc and thiamine. Our nutritional therapists tailored psychonutritional therapy to Calvin to address his nutrition deficiencies. The psychonutritional supplementation can help to overcome his aggression concurrent with laboratory evidence of vitamins deficiencies. After 2 months of consuming the nutritional medication, Calvin showed obvious improvement in his behaviors. He was more serene when communicating with his sister. In addition, he was able to control his temper and emotional outburst when facing irritated situation. Calvin was able to control his irritation and impulsiveness more effectively. His parents were happy that the results of the psychonutritional therapy do not have any side effects on Calvin, and was able to solve his aggression problem at the same time.
