Dr. Glen Elliott answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

None: There are no "brain supplements" that have been shown to be as effective or safe as a stimulant for treating adhd. If they work, they have a stimulant of some sort, probably one with much less research behind it than either methylphenidate or amphetamine. If they don't have a stimulant, they don't work.
