How Can ADHD In A Teenager Be Treated?

I am ordering Fish Oil OMEGA 3 to try on my ADHD 16 year old son. I need to know a brand and also what other supplement would be most beneficial. ZInc B6 magnesium L-carnitine I dont want to do too much at once cause I am not sure how to tell if it is working. He is not hyper but has a difficult time focusing.
