Zinc is required for the proper function of over 100 different enzymes in the body and previous research has shown that a deficiency in this important mineral can be associated with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).Zinc also helps regulate levels of the important compound melatonin, which plays a significant role in regulating sleep patterns in individuals both with or without ADHD. Melatonin also plays an important role in regulating levels of the brain chemical dopamine, which is a key factor in ADHD.
