Evidence-graded support alongside a clinician's plan
ADHD is a clinical diagnosis. Nothing here diagnoses it or stands in for a prescribed medicine. Two of the six items have no trial in people with ADHD and are labelled as such. Tell your prescriber before adding any of them, especially if you take a stimulant.
Unlock the full ADHD Support with exact doses, brand recommendations, and interaction checks.
Tap any supplement card for detailed evidence. All content is independently researched.
How was your focus today, 1 to 10? Did you take your prescribed medicine as directed?
Daily check-ins build your personal data set. After 7 days, you'll start seeing trends and correlations.
Omega-3 has the strongest ADHD-specific evidence here: a 2023 meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials examined core ADHD symptoms (PMID 37656283), and an earlier systematic review and meta-analysis covered youths with ADHD (PMID 28741625). Zinc supplementation in children with ADHD has a dose-response meta-analysis of randomised trials (PMID 34184967), alongside a systematic review of iron and zinc trials in children and adolescents (PMID 34836314). Iron is conditional on measured deficiency rather than on diagnosis. L-theanine and magnesium L-threonate are included because people ask about them, and the honest position is that neither has been tested in an ADHD population: the L-theanine evidence is a randomised trial in healthy adults under stress (PMID 31623400) and the magnesium L-threonate evidence is a randomised trial of cognitive function in healthy adults (PMID 36558392). Caffeine with L-theanine improved attention and alertness in randomised trials in healthy adults (PMID 21040626, PMID 18681988), again not in an ADHD population.
Omega-3 trials run for months, not days. Nothing here should be judged at two weeks. If you started iron, this is the point to confirm your clinician has your ferritin result.
The omega-3 trials that reported an effect on core symptoms ran longer than this. Keep a note of what changed and what did not, so the next conversation with your prescriber has something in it.
This is the length at which the supplement trials in this plan reported their results. If nothing has changed by now, that is a real answer and worth saying out loud to your clinician.
