Data Drop: ADHD, Attention, and the Gut — What Our Model Maps

Data point
In our condition model, ADHD, attention deficit, and hyperactivity sit in the same behavioral system as autism — mapped to the gut–brain axis. Gut microbes help produce and modulate dopamine and short-chain fatty acids, the signalling behind focus and impulse control.

The honest state of the evidence

Direct human-trial evidence for probiotics in ADHD is early and mixed — we won't pretend otherwise. What's better established is the mechanistic thread (microbiome → metabolites → attention/dopamine) and the finding that precision approaches outperform one-size blends in gut–brain conditions.

Why we map it to precision

Two people with ADHD can have completely different gut ecosystems. Flore builds from whole-genome sequencing and uses targeted bacteriophages to reduce pathobionts — supporting the gut–brain axis for a specific person rather than a demographic. This supports gut health; it is not an ADHD treatment.
