Spectrum Support II, in either the original (P5P) form or the lower-intensity PAK
version, is the starting liquid multivitamin formula used by a large majority of the children taking our supplements. It is designed to provide a moderate level of nutritional support for children and adults on the Spectrum. SSII provides extra nutritional support for the neurological and metabolic systems, in a very easy-to- absorb liquid form. It has a broad nutrient profile of 44 vitamins, minerals, accessory nutrients, herbs, and essential oils created to normalize metabolic function. Spectrum Support II's nutrients and herbs support digestion, digestive tract integrity, blood sugar regulation, detoxification, immune function, vascular integrity and circulation, as well as enhanced cerebral oxygenation and neurological function.
Spectrum Support II and Spectrum Support II with PAK each contain two bottles:
Part A - Vitamins and Part B - Minerals. Our 32-ounce bottles provide over a two month supply for a 25 pound child, a one month supply for a 50 pound child, or a 23-day supply for a 100 pound child. The supplements are in the form of a kid- friendly, easy to dose liquid suspension. The supplements are flavored with natural flavor extracts and low-glycemic index vegetable glycerin. They are available in Lemon Lime, Strawberry and unflavored (but still sweetened). Spectrum Support II Vitamins and Minerals are designed to be mixed together and given 3 times a day, with meals, either in juice or other beverage, or alone with a glass of water afterward.
ABOUT THE TWO KINDS OF SPECTRUM SUPPORT II
Spectrum Support II now comes in two varieties: the original formula with P5P,
and with PAK. P5P and PAK are two different forms of vitamin B6. The only difference between the two forms is that the original P5P form contains the active P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) form of vitamin B6, and the PAK form contains the pyridoxine alpha ketoglutarate (PAK) form of vitamin B6 instead. Pyridoxine must be converted to P5P for the body to use it, which means that the body gets several times as much effective vitamin B-6 per milligram of P5P than it does from PAK or other pyridoxine forms.
As you may have read, vitamin B6 can be extremely very helpful to many
children. However, depending on the individual child's readiness to absorb nutrients and unique body chemistry, some can take P5P with excellent results, and others do better starting out with PAK and working up to P5P if appropriate as their bodies start working better. If your child is in the early stages of treatment, or if you do not know if they tolerate high amounts of vitamin B-6, we suggest starting out with PAK and working up to P5P.
ABOUT THE MINERALS
The Spectrum Support Minerals used as "Part B" with Spectrum Support I, II,
IIPAK and III are chemically bound to five Krebs cycle intermediaries (fumarate, citrate, malate, succinate and alpha ketoglutarate) utilized to enhance cellular energy production. Minerals bound to Krebs intermediaries are far better absorbed, utilized, and tolerated than minerals bound to sulfate, oxide, carbonate, or chloride. In addition, all our mineral formulas are iron and copper free.
ABOUT THE LIQUID SUSPENSION
The nutrients in these supplements are broken down into extremely small
particles in a gentle, technologically advanced liquid suspension formula which is readily absorbed in the digestive tract and better utilized throughout the body than conventional powders, capsules, tablets or standard liquid solutions.
