ADHD Supplements: Do They Really Work?

🎯 Reality Check: Sketchy 🚩

📝 Why: L-tyrosine is an amino acid involved in dopamine production, but there’s little evidence it helps ADHD, especially when compared to prescription meds like Adderall. NHS guidance and multiple reviews note no strong support for L-tyrosine improving ADHD symptoms. A 2021 meta-analysis says, “evidence for amino acid supplementation in ADHD treatment is weak” (Storebø et al., Cochrane).
