Im doing a case study on additives and although i know that hyperactivity most probably is caused by certain additives, i cannot seem to find any scientific explanation as to why.
Additives for chemicals have different purposes. If you are studying effects of medicines, there are many class of additives. Most common are fillers - This compounds help in preparing dilution for tablating (or other forms of medicines) to help tableting exact dose. These are generally starch or salts. There are some additives being used to encapsulate the medicine. This help in delivering the medicine in the targeted zone. his compounds protect the medicine from being absorbed in region where it is not required - and in most cases it works on pH balance or presence of some specific ions. This compounds indirectly help in improving the efficiency of medicine. Some additives are made to increase the efficiency of the medicine. They are some times other medicine - combination preparations or some enzyme like compounds. It is known as synergistic effect. Increased efficiency - effect of medicines can be identified as hyper activity in body. Some additives are binders - that help tablating.
