Is there an over-the-counter product that helps improve concentration?

Question

As a young adult suffering from hyperactivity and awaiting a diagnosis of ADD, however, as a student, I need advice regarding my lack of concentration and my hyperactivity which prevents me from reading for more than 5 minutes at a time. Is it possible, while waiting for my diagnosis, to consume some type of non-prescribed product to help me concentrate?

Hello Sir Unfortunately, no over-the-counter product is proven to improve concentration Some studies mention Omega-3 supplements, but again, they are not conclusive, and the quantities and concentrations of Omega-3 vary... For your study environment, reduce distractions as much as possible, such as cell phones, computers, television and noise... write down your study goals on a list to assess your progress and to stay on track. Take frequent breaks (like every hour). Finally, exercise and a sufficient amount of sleep can greatly help you relax and assimilate the material being studied. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions, good luck with the exams!
