Research indicates that children and adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often have deficiencies in key nutrients. Identifying which minerals ADHD lack can be an important part of a holistic approach to managing symptoms and supporting brain health.

A 2017 meta-analysis found that children with ADHD had significantly lower ferritin levels, indicating low iron stores, compared to those without the condition. This reflects broader research showing that some children with ADHD may be deficient in specific vitamins and minerals.
