With children under the age of 17, more time and attention is given with understanding the needs of the child, root causes, deficiencies, and system imbalances. Kids who are ADHD or on the spectrum need to watch their intake of food dyes, sugar, the amount of hours they sleep and spend in front of televisions or computer screens. 

​

Here are supplements to consider taking for help managing ADHD symptoms. However, consult Dr. Penn to see which supplements will work best after she takes the health history and checks the child's labwork. 

​

1. Inattention& Impulsivity

Myo-inositol is a form of inositol, a type of natural sugar alcohol involved in various cellular processes. It's often used to support brain function and improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar management, thereby improving mood stabilization and energy.

​

2. Inattention & Poor Focus

Iron is a vital mineral needed for oxygen transport and energy production. It produces hemoglobin in red blood cells, which carries oxygen throughout the body, making it essential for overall brain health and function. 

​

3. Anxiety, Irritability & Mood

Magnesium is a mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body10, including digestive, muscle, and nerve functions that play a role in mood regulation, stress responses, and hormonal health.

L-theanine is an amino acid commonly found in tea leaves. It promotes relaxation without drowsiness and supports cognitive function.

​

5. Focus & Energy

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for protein metabolism14and cognitive development. It is essential for brain development and function and helps produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, crucial for mood regulation and cognitive function. 

 

6. Sleep 

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. It's naturally produced by our bodies at night to help us feel sleepy, and it can also be taken in supplement form to assist in sleep.

 

7. Hyperactivity

*Passionflower is an herb traditionally used for its calming effects and ability to improve sleep quality. 

*Zinc is an essential mineral crucial for many biological processes, including immune function and cell growth.

​

8. Cognitive Function
