What natural supplement should you give a kid with ADHD

Sources:

The supplements discussed for children with ADHD are omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA, and acetyl L-carnitine—but they should be considered supportive options, not a cure.

  • Omega-3s: They may modestly support attention and ADHD symptoms; the discussion describes them as potentially making dopamine more available rather than directly treating ADHD.
  • Acetyl L-carnitine: In a study of children aged 6–13 with ADHD, supplementation was associated with fewer overall behavioral problems, including reductions in attentional problems, delinquency, and aggression.
  • Check with a healthcare provider: Consult a physician before adding or removing supplements.
