aminco acid profile in kids with ADHD

aminco acid profile in kids with ADHD

My son is 9 years old and I currenlty take him to a Naturopath to help treat his ADHD.  He is on a vitamin regime and also drops to help with his food allergies.  I have noticed no difference in his attention and focusing, which by the way is his issue.  He is not hyper.  The naturopath suggested having a amino acid profile.  My question, is it better to have the urine profile done or the blood profile done?  For obvious reasons, the urine would make my son happier.  If I do the urine should it be a 24hr. collection of urine or just morning urine?  Thank you
