VITAMIN FOR CHILD WITH ADHD
ADHD apart from genetic causes also has relevance with malnutrition
and nutritional deficiencies. A normal healthy brain requires
a balanced amount of nutrients to develop.
A nutritional deficiency in woman during pregnancy or any deficiency
postnatal can cause brain tissues to affect largely.
These deficiencies can result in underdevelopment of some of brain
areas including that of psychomotor abilities related areas and
frontal lobes.
In treatment
of ADHD vitamins play an important role. ADHD is a health condition
that requires too much care and much attention regarding diet and
nutrition.
There are certain things that require attention concerning an ADHD
suffering child. Diet
is a major factor. Giving child balanced
nutrition is as important as prescribing good appropriate
ADHD medicines and having psychotherapies
for child.
A healthy growing mind and body gives a better chance for medications
to be effective and help the child be a better person.
Vitamin A and E are particularly good for eyesight improvement
and helps the child to focus. Cod liver oil or fish oil capsules
are prescribed to children along with a long list of medications.
Fish oil and cod liver oil capsules are particularly rich in Vitamin
A and E.
Vitamin B complex is found very effective in majority of cases.
It helps the nerves to be strong and take impulses properly.
The Vitamin B complex is a combination of multiple vitamins, they
include:
• B1 (Thiamin)
• B2 (Riboflavin)
• B3 (Niacin)
• B5 (Pantothenic acid)
• B6 (Pyridoxine)
• B12
• Folic acid
• Biotin
You can even give your child these vitamins in form of Vitamin
B complex form or in multivitamin form. These vitamins have nutritional
and therapeutic properties. The vitamins come in three potencies:
• B complex 150 mg
• B complex 100 mg
• B complex 50 mg.
Similarly multivitamins come in three potencies: (they can vary
in some regions)
• Multivitamins 250mg
• Multivitamins 500mg
• Multivitamins 1gm
When prescribing vitamins to an ADHD child, there are few points
that need to be kept in mind.
1. Never prescribe any medicine or vitamin without getting it confirmed
by doctor.
2. Ingestion of Vitamin C and Dexedrine (prescribed in treatment
of ADHD) simultaneously, e.g., taking medication with orange juice,
may significantly reduce Dexedrine absorption.
3. Feingold diet is a diet that is some times advised for children
with ADHD. This diet plan limits the intake of some fruits and vegetables
and that may prevent an adequate vitamin C intake. Check out other
