For the treatment of A-baby, one of them is called supplement therapy. The supplement here is not the prescription drug I wrote about in my last article, but a health medicine. Supplement therapy is done by improving diet and nutrition as a means of reducing symptoms associated with chronic diseases.
I also read a lot of related articles after my baby was diagnosed with ADHD, and other parents recommended a very popular book "90% of children's attention can be improved by nutrition".
These articles describe how to improve ADHD symptoms by supplementing with vitamins and nutrients that I don't even have a name for. Because these nutrients are not drugs, supplementing Adolls with these supplements has become the main choice for most Adolls' parents. Of course, I am no exception to buy a lot of them, let me talk about my personal opinion, purely sharing, don't spray if you don't like it.
One: To know what to make up, naturally you must first know what is missing? So let's talk about detection first:
1) Before the diagnosis of ADHD, the hospital will definitely do a very comprehensive trace element test for the baby, and some hospitals may also do allergen testing. Like this:
2) Some parents will also go to special institutions for nutrient metabolism testing, neurotransmitter metabolism markers, organic acid testing, etc. The cost of testing institutions is very high, generally thousands or even tens of thousands.
Two: What to make up?
1) After the test report made by the hospital comes out, the doctor will prescribe you vitamins for supplementation according to the results. If you are allergic, you must avoid these foods. In addition to deficiency, some babies may also be excessive in lead, etc., and need lead treatment.
2) The report entries from the testing institution are very detailed, if interested parents can study carefully, especially in the above mentioned books also have an introduction to many nutrients. Choose the right supplement based on the results.
Three: What are the more common supplements for A doll?
a) PS phosphoylserine (there are many brands) function is mainly to improve nerve cell function, regulate the conduction of nerve impulses, and enhance brain memory function.
b）DHA,EPA
DHA plays an important role in children's intellectual development, and also has anti-allergic and immune enhancement effects.
EPA belongs to the omega-3 series of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are indispensable and important nutrients for the human body. EPA has the effect of helping to reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides, promote the metabolism of saturated fatty acids in the body, and improve the oxygen supply to tissues and eliminate fatigue.
c) Probiotics
One study showed a modest association between children who ate junk food and hyperactivity symptoms, with sucrose associated with increased motor activity and was shown to reduce attention span in children with ADHD, but had no effect on normal children. Gluten intake can lead to gastrointestinal dysregulation that can lead to chronic pro-inflammatory immune dysregulation. This chronic inflammation may be one of the potential links to the development of ADHD.
d) Multivitamins
Micronutrients are used as cofactors in enzymatic reactions and play an important role in metabolism, neurotransmission, cognitive function, immune function, and detoxification, and zinc deficiency can have a significant impact on attention, motor activity, cognition, and behavior.
e) magnesium threonate
Magnesium: Magnesium acts as a neuroprotective agent to prevent overexcitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate
f) Vitamin B6: By regulating neurotransmission, vitamin B6 can improve executive function and symptoms of ADHD.
g) Vitamin D may be considered a major player in improving certain symptoms of ADHD, and reduced outdoor activity and reduced sun exposure may lead to a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children with ADHD. Vitamin D supplementation in children based on laboratory results may be a safe and effective strategy to help improve symptoms.
Four: Write at the end, but important
None of the above supplements have any brand recommendations, just random images searched online. The view I am more in favor of is that the most important thing in the choice of supplements is to be based on the test results, do not make up indiscriminately, do not supplement indiscriminately, do not supplement indiscriminately. Because the human body is a very sophisticated instrument, what we lack needs to be supplemented, but if you do not lack supplements, it is more, and more will also cause disorders of body functions, but will produce bad results.
