Learning Objectives

OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) have emerged as a promising adjunct treatment for ADHD, supported by scientific research and historical evidence of their safety and efficacy. Studies indicate that OPCs benefit brain function by regulating neurotransmitter activity, supporting neuronal growth, and reducing oxidative damage. Zinc and copper, essential trace minerals, play crucial roles in brain health, with imbalances linked to ADHD symptoms. OPC supplementation has shown promise in restoring optimal mineral levels and reducing copper-zinc imbalances associated with ADHD. Furthermore, OPCs have been observed to improve cognitive performance and alleviate ADHD symptoms without adverse side effects, making them a valuable therapeutic option in ADHD treatment.

  • Understand the role of OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) in supporting brain function and alleviating ADHD symptoms.
