When introducing our vitamin and mineral supplements to children with a particularly
high level of sensitivity, a conservative approach is often indicated. The following
approach has been found to be highly effective for introducing our supplements in such
situations. This is also the approach we recommend if sensitivity is encountered while
using the regular start-up schedule outlined on the dosage chart (after first taking a one-
week break from the supplements).

This schedule is a much slower, more conservative version of the regular schedule,
designed for those children who have the greatest challenge adapting to new nutrients.
You will start by giving the Minerals (Part B) only, three times a day, at one-eighth of the
suggested dosage. Assuming this goes well, after getting Minerals well-established, you
will begin very slowly adding the Vitamins. The mineral formula is generally found to
be a very calming supplement, and serves to build a firm "foundation" to which
vitamins can be gradually added.

Introduction of the supplements, especially the vitamins, can be slowed down further if you
or your doctor feel it is indicated. Signs of sensitivity while on this schedule may indicate
that a less intense formula should be tried (i.e. if you are using Spectrum Support II, switch
down to Spectrum Support I or Ultra-Sensitive Formula instead). If indicated, we can send
you trial size samples of other vitamin formulas, as part of this process, to allow you to try
both formulas and figure out which one is the best fit for the individual child. Please feel
free to call us if we can support you in any way while you are in the process of introducing
our supplements.

If your child's full dose is smaller than one teaspoon per meal, then we suggest that you
begin with one-eighth teaspoon of the supplement for the first four days as your initial dose,
and work up slowly. from there if that amount is well tolerated.
