What are other minerals for ADHD?

Along with acetyl L-carnitine, Andrew Huberman also highlights the role of omega-3 fatty acids in managing ADHD symptoms. Specifically, omega-3s can modulate attention and focus, with studies suggesting that consuming at least 300 milligrams of DHA daily, alongside EPA, can be beneficial. The synergistic effect of omega-3s and phosphatidylserine—taken at 200 milligrams per day—has been shown to reduce ADHD symptoms in children, though its efficacy in adults is yet to be determined 1.

Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids may help alleviate ADHD symptoms by increasing dopamine levels through a gut-brain pathway involving neuropod cells. These cells respond to nutrients like omega-3s, amino acids, and sugars, all of which can influence dopamine release, potentially explaining the therapeutic effects of omega-3 supplements on ADHD 2.
