Medication Alernative

My son is not diagnosed...but had some traits. I don’t believe in going straight to medication and his traits not severe. Some inattentive, fidgeting and general disobedience. Also tantrums at home. Did some research and started him on On Task Naturally. Gummies with zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6 and C. All natural. I have seen a MAJOR improvement at home and school in a short 3 weeks.

Just looked up On Task and they sound great! We take Smartypants kids complete vitamins for the same reason. Did those come up in your research too? Interested how they compare.

Hi, I believe we all started with an alternative ways to help our kids and families.

Nobody is looking for a psychotropics med as a first choice. In our case nothing worked and things were going down hill.

Good luck to you and your son. Great that vitamins are working !

My son takes Barlean’s high potency fish oil, along with a magnesium supplements. He also is on a probiotic. Fish oil is highly recommended for ADHD. Barlean’s comes in a few flavors, and my son doesn’t mind it at all. We take it every day.

Just found it on Amazon. How old is your son? How much do you give?

I’d always suggest new parenting techniques, improved nutrition and sleep, vitamins way before trying potent stimulants that have many side effects. Especially if the symptoms are minor

My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD, my husband and I have decided to use natural remedies for his ADHD. I found your post about On Task Naturally and purchased a bottle. How often does your son take the gummies? We have been giving one gummy at breakfast.
