Tocotrienol-rich fractions (TRF) supplementation in school-going children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD): a randomized controlled trial

Background Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is often treated with medications but many parents seek alternative treatment for fear of adverse effects. Increased oxidative stress has been observed in children and adults with ADHD. We postulate that tocotrienol-rich fractions (TRF), a potent antioxidant from the natural Vitamin E family, may help children with ADHD. The objective of this study is to determine if supplementation of TRF has an effect on the symptoms of school-going children with ADHD.
