6 Natural Supplements That Support ADHD Symptoms and Boost Focus, Mood & Energy

Managing ADHD—especially in a fast-paced, overstimulating world, can be a challenge. Whether you're supporting a child, navigating your own symptoms, or just looking to stay sharp and balanced, natural remedies can offer meaningful support. While they aren't a substitute for professional care, some supplements can work alongside healthy lifestyle habits to enhance focus, stabilise mood, and improve energy levels.

Here are 6 HappyHealthy supplements that may help ease ADHD symptoms and sharpen the mind:

1. Omega 3 Krill Oil

Why it helps: Omega-3s—especially EPA and DHA—are essential for brain health. Research suggests that people with ADHD often have lower levels of omega-3s, which are crucial for mood regulation, cognitive function, and attention.

Benefits:

  • Improves focus and attention span
  • Supports mood and reduces irritability
  • Enhances overall brain function

Tip: Look for high-quality fish oil or algae-based omega-3s if you prefer a plant-based option.

2. Magnesium Bowel Cleanse

Why it helps: Studies have shown that people with ADHD have a different gut biomes to those without, and a healthy gut is essential for all of us to live happy, healthy lives.  Magnesium plays a role in hundreds of biochemical reactions in the brain. It's particularly helpful for calming the nervous system, making it ideal for hyperactivity, restlessness, and irritability. HappyHealthy’s Magnesium Bowel Cleanse also includes vitamin C and Sugar Beet fibre to help boost your immune system and manage blood sugar levels.

Benefits:

  • Reduces hyperactivity and impulsivity
  • Promotes calmness and better sleep
  • Enhances mood and stress response

3. Multivitamins

Why it helps: The HappyHealthy Multivits are designed to support people with ADHD by providing essential vitamins and minerals.

Benefits:.

·       Help with focus, energy, and mood balance.

·       Nutrients like B-vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and iron are known to support brain health, reduce feelings of restlessness, and improve concentration.

These multivits fill nutritional gaps that can impact attention and emotional regulation, making them a simple daily support for busy minds and bodies.

4. Ashwagandha

Why it helps: Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogen herb known for its calming effects on the nervous system. It can help reduce stress, balance mood swings, and improve overall mental resilience—key areas for those with ADHD.

Benefits:

  • Lowers cortisol and stress response
  • Enhances mood and emotional balance
  • Supports focus by reducing anxiety and overstimulation

5. Calmer

Why it helps: Found in green tea, L-theanine is a calming amino acid that promotes alpha brain waves—those associated with relaxed focus. In the HappyHealthy’s ‘Calmer’ supplement, it is combined with Ashwagandha (see above) and Tart Montmorency Cherries that contain high levels of phytochemicals including Melatonin, which is crucial in regulating the sleep-wake cycle in humans.

Benefits:

  • Reduces anxiety and stress
  • Improves sleep quality

Final Thoughts

Natural supplements can be a powerful tool for managing ADHD symptoms when used thoughtfully and consistently. Always speak with a healthcare provider—especially when supporting children or combining with medication—to ensure safe and effective use.

Remember, supplements are just one part of the ADHD puzzle. A nutrient-rich diet, quality sleep, physical activity, and mindfulness all play a critical role in helping the brain function at its best.
