You may or may not be aware of the need to take supplements for ADD. Questions like do they work, or are they effective, may need answering before you can make a decision. You may on the other hand already believe that taking them is a good choice but are unsure as to which ones will give you the best results for your condition. Some may cost you a lot of money without giving adequate benefits, while others may give you no improvement or make your condition worse leaving you even more confused than before.

It is recommended that you do your own research in this area in order to find the best suited supplements for you or your child’s condition. Some doctors may not suggest supplementing because they may still be of the belief that we should get everything our bodies need from our food. Others will recommend a brand to you only on the basis that get a commission if they do so and not for the supplementation’s healing properties.

The reasoning against supplementation by some doctors makes a valid point. If we ate only healthily and consumed what our bodies needed then their advice would be correct. Unfortunately many people do not follow the correct eating habits and live lifestyles rich in fatty, unhealthy foods. Obesity is on the increase, evidence that we are not making the healthy choices that our bodies crave. If this is the case, then how does it affect our Attention Deficit Disorders?

Those who believe that they do not need to take supplements for ADD, may find it interesting to know that research has shown that by supplementing, your IQ can rise on average by 4.5 points. The non-verbal IQ has been shown to increase on average as much as 10 points from supplementation.

This linked with other benefits in reducing Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms, prove it to be a key alternative to medication. One of the main supplements for ADD that you should be taking is Omega 3 and 6 Essential fatty acids. For the best results, this supplement is combined with a few others that will enable you or your child to have better focus and concentration.
