Best Vitamins for ADHD

Omega-3 Fatty Acid

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in brain health. It has been shown that people with ADHD are likely to have lower levels of a type of omega-3 called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) than others. Taking omega-3 supplements would help manage certain symptoms of ADHD. However, more research is still needed to learn more about the potential risks and benefits. Fish oil can be another source of this nutrient, which is generally safe for most individuals. You can also get it from certain foods in the diet, such as tuna, salmon, herring, halibut, nuts, and seeds. [5]
