L-carnosine for ADHD

Previous page Next page

One study found that in ADHD-C sufferers, support for MPH treatment with L-carnosine had a positive effect on symptoms compared to MPH + placebo.1 However, L-carnosine does not appear to have a direct influence on GABA.2

L-carnosine has been reported to increase cortisol levels,3 which could remedy the cortisol deficiency as a stress response in ADHD-HI sufferers (ADHD-C/with hyperactivity).
From this perspective, treatment of the ADHD-I subtype (and probably also of SCT) with L-carnosine should be viewed with caution.

There are no studies on the use of L-carnosine for ADHD.
