Have ADHD?

Have ADHD?

I think we all can have times where we struggle to focus or pay attention. But, ADHD can take that inability to another level.

The problem COULD be as simple as just a deficiency in Vitamin B6. In a study, they believed that a disorder of Vitamin B6 metabolism leads to ADHD symptoms.

What they concluded was “According to our data, multi-year pyridoxine treatment normalizes completely the pattern of ADHD behavior, without causing any serious side effects.”

So, just making sure that you are getting enough B6 in your diet on a daily basis would be a start and then you may supplement with B6 as well. Just remember that it was said that it took “multi-year” before ADHD symptoms were normalized.

Therefore, don’t expect upping B6 in your food or supplements will make drastic changes over a few weeks. It may take longer to see sustainable changes.

If you do decide to supplement, my personal recommendation is to stay under 10-15mg of B6 for long term daily consumption as higher doses over the long term can have some side effects.
