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.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-best-strategie...

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.
