Slide 1 : Vitamins and Supplements for ADHD *Zinc for ADHD symptoms *Fish oil for ADHD symptoms *St. John's Wort: No help for ADHD
Slide 2 : *Other natural supplements for ADHD *
Slide 3 : Have you ever wondered whether vitamins and supplements can help treat the symptoms of ADHD?
Slide 4 : Alternative and complementary medicine has gained in popularity. As a result, there is now a wide range of nontraditional approaches to personal health and healing.
Slide 5 : There are other natural or alternative remedies that are unsafe. That's why it's important to know what works -- and what doesn't --
Slide 6 : Claims are made that a vitamin or supplement is natural is not a guarantee that it's safe. It's important to always discuss any therapy with your doctor before taking it.
Slide 7 : Zinc for ADHD symptoms Some studies suggest that children with ADHD may have lower levels of zinc in their body. And some scientists have reported improved symptoms in children with ADHD who took zinc supplements along with traditional ADHD treatment.
Slide 8 : Several studies have shown a reduction in hyperactivity and impulsivity with zinc supplementation. The same studies, though, report no change in inattentiveness, which is another key symptom of ADHD. A 2005 study in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, though,did show a correlation between zinc levels and teacher- and parent-rated inattention in children.
Slide 9 : Foods high in zinc include oysters and other seafood, red meat, poultry, dairy products, beans, nuts, whole grains, and fortified cereals.
Slide 10 : Fish oil for ADHD symptoms Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids. There are some findings that suggest that, in children with ADHD who are 8 to 12 years old, fish oil supplementation may improve mental skills. It may help improve a child's ability to organize activities.
Slide 11 : In one study, a specific supplement of fish oil and evening primrose oil was used. Results showed that it improved hyperactivity, inattentiveness, an inability to think clearly, and overall behavior in children with ADHD who were 7 to 12 years old. Fish oil for ADHD symptoms
Slide 12 : High in omega 3 fatty acids include salmon, albacore tuna, herring, mackerel, trout, and sardines.
Slide 13 : St. John's wort: No help for ADHD St. John's wort is a common herbal supplement. It's used for treating depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. This herbal treatment affects brain chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
Slide 14 : Other natural supplements for ADHD There is some preliminary evidence that some natural supplements may benefit people with ADHD. For example, in one study, a combination of American ginseng and Ginkgo leaf improved ADHD symptoms in children ages 3 to 17.
Slide 15 : Can nutritional supplements help with ADHD by filling dietary gaps? Some proponents of nutritional supplements believe that ADHD symptoms occur because of a lack in the diet. They also believe that supplements are needed to fill that dietary gap.
