5 Supplements that ACTUALLY work with Executive Dysfunction

Dr. L Grant, who has personal experience with ADHD, shares his expertise on how natural supplements can help manage symptoms associated with executive dysfunction. He emphasizes that supplements are a useful tool, but they should not replace deeper investigations into underlying causes.

For those struggling with emotional regulation issues such as anxiety, stress, and depression, Dr. Grant recommends trying Min-Chex and Tension Ease. These supplements address neurological imbalances and have proven effective in calming anxiety.

  • Min-Chex aids in addressing depression and high anxiety.
  • Tension Ease is beneficial for acute anxiety management.

To tackle difficulties in staying focused and attentive, ginkgo biloba and bacopa monnieri are recommended. These supplements help increase blood flow to the brain, improving concentration and learning capabilities.

Dr. Grant notes, particularly for those working or studying, these supplements can alleviate challenges commonly linked with impaired executive function.

Memory retention is another area where supplements can be helpful. For those experiencing forgetfulness, especially in people over 40, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine can provide great improvements.

  • Phosphatidylserine supports cellular function in brain neurons.
  • Phosphatidylcholine contributes to cognitive performance and memory retention.

For individuals struggling with motivation or task initiation, Dr. Grant highlights the importance of the dopamine pathway. Using supplements like DopaTone Active, which includes phenethylamine, can significantly enhance motivation by influencing neurotransmitter activity.

When it comes to learning new information and retaining it, rosemary and lavender demonstrate beneficial effects. Inhaling rosemary can increase blood flow to the brain, aiding long-term learning, while lavender can help reduce anxiety during study, enhancing overall recall.

"Supplements are only the first step; they shouldn't distract from addressing underlying issues," asserts Dr. Grant.
