* Nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are absolutely vital for proper brain function in both younger children and teens.
**[[Iron]] is like the body's oxygen shuttle, carrying oxygen from the lungs to every cell in your body. Low levels of iron can cause poor brain functioning and erratic behavior.
**[[Zinc]] : Many brain enzymes are zinc-dependent, so it's essential that the brain has adequate supplies of zinc. In addition, zinc helps balance blood sugar, so kids that are low on it crave sweets and refined carbohydrates and reject nutritious proteins and vegetables. Zinc deficiency can lead to angry, aggressive behavior, bulimia, frequent headaches, depression with suicidal ideation and anorexia nervosa.

* [[Phosphatidylserine]] in combination with omega-3 fatty acids may aid in the treatment of ADHD in children, suggests a 2012 study published in European Psychiatry.For the study, 200 children with ADHD were assigned to 15 weeks of treatment with either a placebo or supplements containing phosphatidylserine and omega-3 fatty acids. Study results revealed that participants treated with the combination of phosphatidylserine and omega-3 fatty acids experienced a significantly greater reduction in hyperactive/impulsive behavior and a greater improvement in mood (compared to those given the placebo).
