Do omega‑3 supplements help adult ADHD?
Quick answer: Effects are small/inconsistent; EPA‑dominant blends are most studied. Discuss with a clinician before supplements and do not replace established treatments.
Meta‑analyses show small and inconsistent effects for omega‑3 fatty acids on ADHD symptoms (often small standardized mean differences). EPA‑dominant blends have been studied more than DHA‑dominant blends. Supplements can interact with medicines; consult a clinician.
