Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA)

for ADHD

Omega-3 supplementation (particularly EPA-rich formulas) has modest but consistent evidence for improving attention and hyperactivity in children and adults with ADHD.

How it works

EPA and DHA are structural components of neuronal membranes. Children with ADHD show lower omega-3 levels. Supplementation may improve dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission.

What to watch for

Effect size is modest — useful as a complement to evidence-based treatment but not as a standalone replacement for medication or therapy. EPA-dominant formulas show the most consistent evidence.
