Key Supplements
- Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) 2-4g/day (PROVEN effective—reduces symptoms comparable to low-dose stimulants in some studies, high EPA formulation)
- Iron (if deficient—ferritin <50 linked to ADHD severity, don't supplement without testing, 30-80mg if low)
- Zinc 30-50mg (deficiency common in ADHD, supplementing improves symptoms and medication response)
- Magnesium 400-600mg (calming, improves focus, many deficient)
- Vitamin B6 with Magnesium (neurotransmitter production)
- L-Tyrosine or L-Phenylalanine (dopamine precursors—500-1000mg morning, use cautiously, contraindicated if on MAOIs)
Key Lab Markers
- Clinical diagnosis (DSM-5 criteria, rating scales—Conners, Vanderbilt), Rule out other causes (thyroid dysfunction, sleep apnea, vision/hearing problems), Ferritin (optimal >50 for ADHD—many children deficient), Zinc, Magnesium RBC, Vitamin D, Omega-3 Index, B12, Folate, MTHFR genetic testing, Comprehensive stool test (gut-brain connection), Food sensitivity panel (IgG), Fasting glucose and insulin (blood sugar dysregulation), Lead level (if exposure risk), Thyroid panel, Sleep study (if sleep apnea suspected), EEG (if seizure disorder suspected), Neurotransmitter testing (urine—controversial but some practitioners use)
