Niacin and ADHD – a Guideline for Parents

Is Niacin and ADHD a realistic possibility? Naicin is just one of the many essential human nutrients that we need to keep our bodies going. It is also called Vitamin B3 and belongs to the Vitamin B complex and as such plays a key role in daily nutrition.

Recently the Alternative Medicine Review published a study on vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients and found that these were as effective as ADHD meds in alleviating ADHD symptoms such as restlessness and hyperactivity. Niacin was one of the elements in the cocktail of supplements but to say that Niacin and ADHD are the solution for ADHD is a gross exaggeration.
