1. Foundations (Non-Negotiables)
These set the stage for focus, energy, and calm. Without them, the stack won’t “stick.”
- Omega-3 (DHA/EPA) → 2–3 g/day. Improves focus, reduces hyperactivity, and lowers brain inflammation.
- Magnesium (glycinate or threonate) → 200–400 mg at night. Calms the nervous system, supports dopamine signaling.
- Zinc (15–30 mg) + Iron (if labs show deficiency) → required for dopamine synthesis.
- B-Complex (esp. B6, B12, Folate) → co-factors for neurotransmitter production.
- Vitamin D (2–5k IU depending on labs) → linked to mood regulation and reduced ADHD severity.
2. Natural Cognitive Enhancers
Gentler supports that synergize with the foundation and nootropics.
- L-Tyrosine (500–1000 mg AM) → dopamine/norepinephrine precursor, supports focus & stress resilience.
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine (500–1000 mg AM) → boosts mitochondrial energy, brain fuel.
- Rhodiola rosea (200–400 mg AM) → stress resilience, mental stamina.
- Bacopa monnieri (300–600 mg PM) → memory & learning, calming effect.
- L-Theanine (100–200 mg, with coffee/tea) → smooths stimulation, reduces anxiety/jitter.
