Supplements for ADHD
Recently I've become interested in what supplements are good for ADHD. I personally take N acetyl cysteine, omega 3 fatty acid, vitamin D, l theanine, methylfolate, and methylcobalamin for mental health and focus. I did some reading and found a few supplements that might help ADHD.
This page seems to suggest that methionine, B12 (cobalamin), and folate (B9) are good for ADHD. It also has dosing information, although it's more targeted for parents of kids with ADHD.
This page talks about the evidence that supports whether omega 3s, pycogenol, melatonin, St John's Wort, and gingko help ADHD. It seemed to conclude that evidence was limited for all of these but they're popular. St John's Wort probably doesn't work for ADHD. It also mentioned that correcting a zinc deficiency should help moderately with ADHD symptoms.
This page discusses citicoline, saffron, bacopa, l theanine, omega 3s, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B complex vitamins. It links to scientific studies. It also discusses safety and when you shouldn't take each supplement (like drug interactions). I wouldn't necessarily buy from their links as I think they get a kickback, but it's a good starting point to learn about each supplement.
Overall I think l theanine has helped me the most with ADHD symptoms. What supplements have you tried and have they helped you?
