Omega-3, B vitamins.
Don't write a 20-page article for ADHD people. Jesus fucking christ.
Just a warning for those who dont know.
You can do permanent neurological damage by overdosing B6. It may sound hard to do but some energy drinks have several times your daily recommended intake and a lot of sports and fitness supplements put it in for no good reason. "Potentially hazardous" levels are defined as 1000% of your RDI over a prolonged period of time.
So if you have 2 white monsters, a multivitamin, a zinc/magnesium supplement and a rehydration tablet and you're there.
The article is actually written for SEO
"AI" obviously wrote it. It reads like a teenager trying to fill a word quota for an essay assignment. Tons if repetition of useless information. And probably they get paid by ads and the longer the article is, the more ads load. I hate what "AI" and capitalism have done to science.
yeah, and the suggestion is to take supplements
There is a lot more nuance in the article that is certainly worth looking at and considering and while I hear your annoyance with the long article I think going to the effort to write a long and informative article like this is commendable in some ways. I'll grant it's not a perfect article in many ways though. Nonetheless I wanted to share a bit more of what I learned from it for others.
More from the article
(Plus my takes after studying a bit of nutrition.)
(Personally, I'd clarify that to processessed sugars, as fruit is quite good for you, not juice though, you need that fiber.)
(I'd recommend a vegan omega 3 as otherwise you're likely to get a dose of mercury with your omega 3 every day).
Habit recommendations
(I have had some success with the app "Feeling Great" but a therapist is certainly preferred over an app if you can.)
Mindful eating - Try no screens, or as slow as you can eat for the first few bites.
Eating schedule - setting reminders on your phone for when to eat can help you create a good and consistent eating schedule.
Why use many word when few word do? Know your audience (not you, the author). He's painting a rainbow for the color blind. I'll respect it that much.

But algae based is better. Flax is less good. That's ALA and it's proposed that we ADHD folk have trouble converting ALA.
Uh oh. Hope you're prepared for the consequences of copying and pasting an AI analysis.
They don't take too kindly to that around here.
