Role of Supplements in ADHD

Once the trigger foods are discovered and eliminated and all micronutrient deficiencies have been identified, we can move on to further improving symptoms with certain nutrients and supplements. For example, it has been shown that supplementing with Omega 3s can reduce the symptoms of ADHD by improving neurotransmission and reducing inflammation in the brain (but don’t rely on most gummies as they typically have very little amounts in them); magnesium is needed for neurotransmitters to function properly, not to mention that certain ADHD medications actually reduce magnesium in the body; zinc is also needed for neurotransmitters and research has shown that children with adhd typically have lower levels of this important nutrient in their bodies when compared to children without ADHD.  B Vitamins, Choline, Vitamin D and various other nutrients have been shown to improve symptoms of ADHD with little, if any, side effects that pharmaceutical drugs have. We can create a custom supplement plan based on your micronutrient deficiencies and symptom reduction goals to help you be at your best.
