What can i get my 7year old son to help him focus.
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Basics: Anyone performs their best when healthy, well nourished, well rested & in a comfortable setting. The 1st focus should be on assuring all these primary features ate met. A checkup to exclude any medical problems would be a place to start as is a review of sleeping habits. If the doc thinks there is an issue that needs treatment it can be arranged. There are no supplements that change this.

Maybe more remove: It is always worth cleaning up diet and environment, red, and yellow dyes, sugar substitutes, consideration of a 2 wk hiatus from screens (electromagnetic frequencies-EMF) which many kids do not tolerate well. Consider removing inflammatory foods -dairy, grains sugar.As well as good physical exam and some basic blood work. Optimize sleep, routine, relaxation process, and 250-500mg mg gluconate prn
