Can Magnesium Improve ADHD Symptoms?

02 Oct 2025

Description

ADHD affects more than 7 million children in the U.S., with many experiencing moderate to severe symptoms; yet nearly a third receive no treatment, highlighting the need for broader, integrative solutions Research shows children with ADHD are more likely to have magnesium deficiency, which disrupts neurotransmitters, stress response, and brain signaling. This worsens hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention, and emotional instability Clinical trials demonstrate magnesium supplementation improves behavior, focus, and social interactions in children with ADHD, with the strongest benefits observed in those correcting underlying magnesium deficiencies Food alone is often not enough to restore optimal magnesium levels due to soil depletion and poor absorption. Supplementation with forms like glycinate, malate, or L-threonate is a valuable tool Environmental and lifestyle strategies, like reducing pesticide and chemical exposure and improving gut health, help manage or reduce ADHD symptoms naturally
