TYPES OF ADHD

     Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting 2–5% of children and adults. ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity.

        ADHD is not a disease, but when it negatively affects several areas of life, precision nutrition can be essential in maintaining brain performance, helping to improve focus, attention and productivity.

      TYPE  INATTENTIVE

  • Low dopamine activity
  • Excess copper
  • Low GABA activity
  • Zinc deficiency

TREATMENT APPROACH

  • Increase neurotransmission at dopamine and GABA receptors;
  • inhibit the expression of DAT reuptake proteins and promote GABA synthesis;
  • increase nutrients zinc and B6.

TYPE  HYPERACTIVE AND IMPULSIVE

  • Excessive activity at norepinephrine and adrenaline receptors
  • Copper Overload
      TREATMENT APPROACH

  • Reduce the neurotransmission of norepinephrine and adrenaline;
  • normalize serum copper and plasma zinc, folate, B12, B6 and GABA.

TYPE  COMBINED = TYPE  INATTENTIVE + TYPE  HYPERACTIVE AND IMPULSIVE

  • Mixture of both types of ADHD.
