Any experiences with lion's mane?: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323400#potential-benefits https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323400#potential-b... There are more supplements. You better do your own research on these: - Tyrosin - Theanine - Creatine - Protein - 5-HTP - GABA At best they might help, at worst, you wasted your money. PS: Have you tried fish oil (or perhaps algae oil) and zinc? According to the findings I provided, they might help you too.

I have not, only since the latest "health supplements" scam of our time is exactly these kinds of "healthy mushroom boosters". Claiming all kinds of insane health benefits from "mushroom extract" etc. But wrapping it in an earthy Goop-esque marketing cascade targeting rich house-wives and wall street types. You'd be surprised how much BS wall street types fall for (even when something is just priced idiotically high), for instance Molekule air purifiers (literally fake science and work half as well as a $12 HEPA filter) and anything made by Dyson haha.

  Fair enough. I suspected that my posting above could come off as "bro-science". But regarding the supplements or nutrients omega-3 & zinc. They do help. I provided the findings. Meditation also works. Some links supporting my case: https://www.additudemag.com/slideshows/treating-adhd-without-medication/ https://www.additudemag.com/slideshows/treating-adhd-without... https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-best-strategies-managing-adult-adhd/201702/can-you-improve-adult-adhd-without-medications https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-best-strategie... https://www.helpguide.org/articles/add-adhd/treatment-for-adult-adhd-attention-deficit-disorder.htm https://www.helpguide.org/articles/add-adhd/treatment-for-ad... Key points I made out of these links above: - Mindfulness/Meditation - Omega-3 (EPA > DHA) - Zinc - Protein - Exercise 30 min/d (walking, calisthenics) - Low sugar, caffeine, and carbohydrates - Schedule/"game plan" (calendars, task lists) I am also disappointed with how this "Ask HN" of mine unfolded. It is perhaps my fault. I should have clarified things from the start. My intention was to (prematurely?) optimize self-help strategies without medication, but my point wasn't well taken it seems.
