Iron, zinc and the ADHD brain

from The ADHD habits podcast · host Monique Suidgeest

If your child is living with ADHD, iron and zinc are two nutrients worth knowing about. Research shows that deficiencies in both are common in children living with ADHD, and both play a direct role in dopamine production and regulation. In this episode, Mon breaks down what the science says, what to look for in everyday meals, and why a simple conversation with your GP is the best place to start. Practical, research-backed, and built for busy families.Well Nourished LinkNatural Super KidsScience reference: Di Lorenzo, R., Balducci, J., Poppi, C., Arcolin, E., Cutino, A., Ferri, P., D'Amico, R., & Filippini, T.
