"In ADHD, the supply of neurotransmitters if often low and not directed as well to the front brain (a focus of initiating, managing, and sustaining executive functions, including impulse control, among other activity). Therefore, supplementing with amino acids that play a role in neurotransmitter synthesis and activity may be helpful in managing Adult ADHD symptoms. L-tyrosine is one such amino acid."

"The various B Vitamins play a role in keeping the brain and nerves healthy, functioning optimally, and they are part of neurotransmitter synthesis and antioxidant function -- all important and helpful to the management of Adult ADHD symptoms. In the brain, B vitamins are important to the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems: the brain itself and the nerves that travel from the brain to the rest of the body. The B vitamins play important roles in improving the efficiency of neuron metabolism (powering neuron functions), myelin creation (improving neuron signal speed), and neurotransmitter synthesis (the chemical signals essential to the communication and function of neurons). More generally, they also play important roles in antioxidant processes."

"Improving inflammation with anti-oxidants has been shown to improve mood symptoms and overall mental health; which both benefit adult ADHD symptoms as well. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that has been linked by research to many benefits including liver health, mental health, and decreasing inflammation. Typical doses from research start at 600mg daily. The capsules are easier to take, but the tablets (a little chalky) are cheaper, so you can choose the one that you prefer."

"Improving inflammation with anti-oxidants has been shown to improve mood symptoms and overall mental health; which both benefit adult ADHD symptoms as well. Omega-3-fatty acids have been linked to many benefits (some listed on this page) like heart health, mental health, decrease in inflammation, and longevity. But more isn't always better. Recent research shows the sweet spot is in the range of 5,00mg to 1,000mg daily AND the ratio of types of omega-3s matters. Ideally, benefits are related to a 60 to 40 ratio of EPA to DHA (they're listed on this page). So you can make this bottle last longer by taking a lower dose (1 capsule) that's shown to be more effective and get the right ratio of omega-3s. Win-Win-Win. (Also, taking it with a meal and keeping it in the fridge helps decrease the chances of an aftertaste and may prevent fishy burps).""

"In Adult ADHD, the genes related to sleep and melatonin production, management of sleep, and sleep quality are all impacted. Therefore, supplementation with melatonin can be helpful in both managing sleep cycles and managin symptoms, since good quality sleep is vital to general mental health and improving ADHD symptoms. Low-dose melatonin has been found to work better for those with Adult ADHD compared to higher doses."

"Improving mood symptoms and mental health overall, also improves Adult ADHD symptoms. Magnesium does many things for our bodies, and so has been linked to heart health by relaxing blood vessel muscles and lowering blood pressure, helping us keep hydrated, keeping muscles healthy, and it can improve anxiety and sleep. Monitor stools in the beginning because certain forms of magnesium supplements may loosen stool."

"Improving mood symptoms and mental health overall, also improves Adult ADHD symptoms. Additionally, the impulsivity and need for dopamine stimulation of ADHD, have been associated with difficulty controlling consumption of food and substances. L-carnitine has been linked to improved mental health (specifically depression), improved insulin management, weight management, and overall brain health."

"Improving mood symptoms and mental health overall, also improves Adult ADHD symptoms. Vitamin D has been linked to multiple benefits in known research, including mental health (particularly depression), immune system health, and bone health, among others. And in combination with omega-3 fatty acids and moderate exercise, it has been shown to reduce overall cancer risk."

"(Take with meals or on an empty stomach.) Evidence-based probiotics can improve general and mental health by improving the concentration of neurotransmitters in the gut, strengthening the immune system, and improving nutritional absorption, among other things. Variables to consider are the strain (or type of probiotic), the dose, and the duration of treatment (which depends on the benefit sought, overall health, etc.). I've included more information in the Healthie App's "Documents" section."
