Re: zinc deficiency and ADHD - Ellen

[Guest guest]

Hi Ellen,

I'm curious how many mg's of the zinc you are using and how old your daughter

is?? My pediatrician said to use a 5 mg supplement, (but she is not treating

for ADHD, only for her deficiency). I'm thinking a larger amount would help,

but I can't find anyone who knows what the RDA for an 8-year-old is! Thanks

for your help. Kath

Hi Ellen,

Thanks for the info! I'm hoping to see a change after adding 5 mg of zinc.

I think I'll also look into the calcium and magnesium. Thanks, Kath

I know that Calcium/Magnesium if there is any deficiency is known to decrease

anxiety - or should I say that the deficiency causes anxiety which can be

decreased with supplementation.
