For parents who don’t want to give their kids prescription stimulants for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, “natural” alternatives like Synaptol may seem like an attractive option. In fact, the company’s internet ads say “Synaptol works for ADHD guaranteed” and the company’s website says the product can help stop fidgeting, impulsiveness, and difficulty listening.
