Formula Suggestion Flowchart (for Children)
|
|
|
|
This flowchart is made to assist parents in determining a starting formula for children. We do not yet
have a similar flowchart for adults. Adults, please give us a call at 831 465-0104, and we would be
happy to help you determine a good starting formula for yourself.

The most common question we hear is "which supplement should I start with?" Here are some
guidelines for determining which of our Spectrum Support formulas might be the most appropriate
starting place for your child. If you are still unsure after considering these questions, please give us a
call at 831 465-0104.

A very small percentage of children on the spectrum are
so intolerant to the world that they react to literally
almost everything around them, including vitamins,
minerals, foods, chemicals and so on. For this
exceptionally sensitive 3-5%, our Ultra-Sensitive Formula
is a good starting choice. Over time, we find that they
may be able to tolerate the regular formulas.

Excessive energy/activity levels

Agitation
|
Sleep disruptions
