I agree it’s a good idea to ensure your magnesium levels are healthy. Don’t stop there though; go for a full blood test; magnesium, iron, vitamin D, B12, sodium, potassium, etc.
Most people that have healthy vitamin D levels (40-50ng) don’t need calcium suppliments. I think the best way to get your nutrients is naturally (I still use suppliments to give me a boost or if I have difficulty with natural sources). For magnesium I snack on sunflower seeds. Shellfish are another good source of minerals.

I started focusing on healthy eating years before I was diagnosed with ADHD, so I can’t say what difference it made in my symptoms.
Except for my iron saturation being marginally high,& magnesium marginally low, my blood test results are very healthy. I still need at least 40mg/day of MPH to make a big impact on my ADHD.
