None: There are no otc medicines or supplements or diets definitively shown to help adhd. Has she been diagnosed by a doctor? There are many behavioral programs that can be helpful.

There is none: Do not believe the junk science reports that are out there.There are currently no proven otc herbs or products that help add/adhd.You need a proper diagnosis and a planned course of therapy with a trained professional ( and not some self proclaimed expert).
