For managing ADHD, several supplements have shown promise based on expert insights:

1. Acetyl L-Carnitine: A study highlighted by Andrew Huberman demonstrated that acetyl L-carnitine supplementation significantly reduced behavioral problems, including aggression and delinquency, in children with ADHD 1.

2. L-Tyrosine: This amino acid, which is a precursor to dopamine, can help enhance focus and attention. However, dosage needs careful management to avoid side effects like jitteriness or euphoria 2 3.

3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Fish oil supplements containing EPA and DHA are recommended for improving cognitive function and managing ADHD symptoms 4.

4. Magnesium: Magnesium, especially in the form of magnesium glycinate, is beneficial due to its nervous system support and high bioavailability 4.

5. Other Supplements: These include B-complex vitamins for overall brain health, NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) for increasing dopamine, and L-Theanine for promoting calm focus 4.

Finally, combining these supplements with behavioral and nutritional approaches can further enhance their effectiveness and may reduce the need for higher doses of prescription medications like Adderall or Ritalin 5 6. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
