Top 8 Supplements for ADHD
May 16, 2023
The brain of someone with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is similar to a Ferrari engine! It’s powerful, capable of reaching high speeds at any time. But, the brakes are like those of a bicycle. That requires us to build a better brake system for our brains! North Century Pharmacy offers a large selection of supplements for ADHD that act as those brakes. Many prescription medications for ADHD are made from stimulants that can be habit forming, often giving pause to parents considering treatments for their child. Before going that route, we recommend trying supplements for ADHD! Watch Dr. Easton explain, then keep reading to learn more about the top 8 supplements for ADHD:
1. NeuroMAG PLUS
Our NeuroMAG Plus is a unique blend of patented, stimulant-free, non-habit-forming ingredients! Methylcobalamin, magnesium L-threonate and theacrine work together to promote concentration, focus and mental clarity, making this one of the top supplements for ADHD. Methylcobalamin specifically helps with cognition and supports healthy energy metabolism. Magnesium L-threonate supplies the brain with highly bioavailable magnesium. Theacrine promotes mental and physical energy, focus and motivation.
2. NCP NEURO Magnesium Blend
Our NCP NEURO Magnesium Blend is made from magnesium L-threonate, the only form of magnesium known to cross the blood brain barrier! Albion® di-magnesium malate and TRAACS® magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate are included in this formula that is specifically formulated to boost magnesium levels in the brain. Magnesium is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in supporting brain health and promoting healthy nervous system functions.
3. Omega Jr.
Our Omega Jr. provides essential omega-3 fatty acids required for proper health in children! We must consume these fats through diet or supplementation since the body does not naturally produce it. Omega-3 fatty acids are required for a number of bodily functions, from proper blood flow to brain development. These long-chain fatty acids are crucial components of tissues and organ systems throughout the body, including the heart, skin, joints, eyes and immune system.
4. Advanced DHA
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for healthy brain development and function both in childhood and adulthood! One of the most important omega-3 fatty acids is DHA! DHA is concentrated in the brain and the central nervous system, but the body makes very little of it naturally, meaning it needs to be acquired through diet or supplementation. Advanced DHA is a fish oil supplement containing 650 mg DHA and 200 mg EPA to support brain function and provide cognitive benefits throughout life.
5. Good Day
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers responsible for regulating mood, memory, the sleep cycle and daily stress. The body requires an adequate supply of amino acids, vitamins and minerals in order to produce these crucial neurotransmitters. Good Day provides these essential nutrients that are necessary for optimal neurotransmitter production! Good Day features amino acid precursors and bioactive nutrients that help to support healthy levels of neurotransmitters like gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine.
6. Memoractiv
Our Memoractiv is a special nootropic formula that provides optimal brain support! Nootropics are substances that boost cognitive function and brain performance. Made from 6 botanical extracts and nutrients, Memoractiv provides cognitive benefits by supporting concentration, motivation, mental focus and reaction time. This product reduces cortisol levels, fights the effects of stress and protects the eyes from the negative effects of blue light. Your stress response and brain function could show improvement thanks to the most clinically studied ashwagandha available that is in this supplement.
7. OptiOmega
Our OptiOmega is made from natural enzymatically enhanced MaxSimil monoglyceride fish oil and has an EPA/DHA absorption rate 3 times greater than the equivalent dose of ethyl fish oil! This IFOS five-star certified fish oil stands miles above other fish oils in quality thanks to its MaxSimil patented lipid absorption enhancement technology (PLATform). OptiOmega includes 650 mg of high-quality fish oil concentrate, 430 mg total omega-3 fatty acids, 300 mg EPA and 130 mg DHA.
8. Theanine
Our Theanine is another one of the top supplements for ADHD! This product is made from L-theanine, a unique amino acid found in the tea plant that has been used safely in Japan for decades. L-theanine has been proven to positively impact brain waves and the key neurotransmitters responsible for mood, focus and memory. This product works by enhancing the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin while simultaneously playing a role in the formation of GABA — a neurotransmitter that acts like a “brake” during times of stress.
These supplements for ADHD have helped numerous people develop a better attention span, clearer focus and better decision making ability! Need help deciding which supplements are right for you? Our team at North Century Pharmacy is ready to assist you no matter where you live!
