Key Supplements

  • Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) 2-4g/day (CRITICAL—brain is 60% fat, most ADHD adults deficient, improves focus, reduces impulsivity), Magnesium 400-800mg/day (calming, focus, most ADHD adults deficient—glycinate or threonate form best for brain), Zinc 30-50mg (if deficient—test first, neurotransmitter function, many ADHD adults low), Iron (if deficient—ferritin <50, common in ADHD especially women, restless legs common, test before supplementing, 30-60mg elemental iron), B-Complex (methylated forms—B6, B12, folate critical for neurotransmitter synthesis, energy), Vitamin D3 5000 IU (deficiency common, affects dopamine, focus), L-Tyrosine 500-2000mg morning on empty stomach (dopamine precursor—focus, motivation, don't take if hyperthyroid or on MAOIs), L-Theanine 200-400mg (focus without jitters, synergy with caffeine—100mg caffeine + 200mg L-theanine), Rhodiola 400-600mg morning (adaptogen, focus, reduces mental fatigue), Bacopa Monnieri 300mg (Ayurvedic herb—memory, focus, reduces anxiety, takes 8-12 weeks for full effect), Ginkgo Biloba 120-240mg (blood flow to brain, focus, memory), Phosphatidylserine 300mg (brain cell membranes, focus, reduces cortisol), Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500-2000mg (brain energy, mitochondrial support), Alpha-GPC or CDP-Choline 300-600mg (acetylcholine—memory, focus), Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol) 1mg/kg (studied in ADHD—improves attention, reduces hyperactivity), Ashwagandha 500mg 2x/day (adaptogen, reduces stress, calms without sedation), GABA 500-1000mg (calming, if anxious ADHD subtype), 5-HTP 50-200mg (serotonin precursor—if low serotonin, mood/impulse control, don't combine with SSRIs), SAMe 400-800mg (mood, focus, methylation), CoQ10 200-300mg (mitochondrial energy), Methylfolate + Methylcobalamin (if MTHFR mutation—methylation critical for neurotransmitter production), Probiotics 50B CFU (gut-brain axis), Vitamin C 1000mg 2x/day (adrenal support, antioxidant), Caffeine (strategic use—enhances focus in ADHD, 100-200mg with L-theanine, but avoid if anxiety or insomnia), Nicotine (controversial—some ADHD adults self-medicate with smoking, nicotine improves focus, but don't smoke—gum or patch if needed, discuss with doctor)

Key Lab Markers

  • Comprehensive assessment (ADHD questionnaires—ASRS, Conners, clinical interview), Rule out other causes: Thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4—hypothyroidism mimics ADHD), CBC (anemia—fatigue, brain fog), Ferritin (optimal 70-90—low causes restless legs, inattention, common in ADHD especially women), Fasting glucose and insulin (hypoglycemia, insulin resistance—brain fog, focus issues), Vitamin D, Omega-3 Index (most ADHD adults deficient), Magnesium RBC, Zinc, B12, Folate, Methylmalonic acid (functional B12), Homocysteine (methylation status), Comprehensive stool test (gut-brain axis, dysbiosis), Food sensitivity panel (gluten, dairy), Organic acids test (neurotransmitter metabolites, mitochondrial function, B vitamin status), Heavy metals (if exposure suspected—neurotoxic, affect focus), MTHFR genetic test (methylation—affects neurotransmitter production), Sleep study (if suspected sleep apnea—causes fatigue, brain fog, mimics ADHD), Neuropsychological testing (if diagnosis unclear—differentiates ADHD from anxiety, depression, learning disabilities), SPECT scan (Dr. Amen—brain imaging, identifies ADHD subtypes, expensive, not standard but some find helpful)
