8 Nutrients That Reverse ADHD According To Researchers. Graphic © herbshealthhappiness.com
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common mental health problem in children – and it can continue into adulthood. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, ADHD affects over 6 million children in the United States. [1] Even more concerning, the prevalence of diagnosed cases increased by a high of 42% between 2003 and 2011. This necessitates the exploration of alternative approached such as diet to help manage the symptoms. [2]
⦁ Probiotics: Probiotics are gut microbiomes that have been shown to significantly affect how the brain functions. As it turns out, there’s a link between ADHD and these microorganisms. [3]
⦁ B6 and B12 Vitamins: B-vitamins – especially pyridoxine (B6) and cobalamin (B12) – are vital in the production of red blood cells, amino acid metabolism, and formation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and GABA. [4][5] Regulation of these neurological chemicals may help with ADHD symptoms. Consider supplementing your diet with seafood, chickpeas, dairy, and potatoes.
⦁ Fish Oil: Fish oil is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3 fatty acids. According to research, EPA and DHA protect neurons and improve the outcome of ADHD. [6]
⦁ Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc: Calcium, Zinc, and Magnesium are important nutrients for the human body and brain. They affect the production of glutamate, GABA, dopamine, and serotonin – which are associated with the etiology of ADHD. [7][8]
⦁ GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid): GABA is an important brain chemical with several effects on brain health. Studies [9] show that children diagnosed with ADHD have a lower concentration of GABA. Although you can’t get GABA directly from food sources, flavonoids in some fruits, red wine, and vegetables influence how it works. Alternatively, you can purchase GABA supplements.
