Basic Supplements Recommended For ASD Children

Please refer to Guidelines For Supplementing ASD Children first before introducing any supplement. Introducing supplements to your child can be easy or a real battle. If the battle lines have been drawn, you are not alone, many parents have already experienced this problem. If this is the case, see Advice For Giving Supplements To ASD Children.

•    Multivitamin that does not contain copper and preferably free of colours and flavours. If a child reacts to a multivitamin the unusual suspect is the vitamin B6 in the supplement. Recommended: Begin with Children's Formula then progress to Nutri 21

•    Vitamin B6 preferably in the activated pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P) form Recommended: Activated B6

•    Magnesium as a chelate or glycinate. Magnesium oxide may be required if constipation is an issue. Recommended: NuroBalance, especially if anxiety is an issue

•    Zinc Recommended: Zymin. If zinc levels do not increase may need zinc in the citrate or picolinate form

•    Essential fatty acids are an essential nutrient not only for ASD children but all children. Recommended: Nordic Natural Arctic Cod Liver Oil or Udo's DHA Blend

•    Calcium especially when on a casein free diet

•    Vitamin A preferably as cod liver oil as the beta-carotene does not convert to vitamin A well in many children. Recommended: Nordic Natural Arctic Cod Liver Oil 

•    Vitamin C for it's antioxidant, liver support and co-factor for many metabolic pathways. Recommended: Vitamin C as Calcium Ascorbate

•    Probiotics especially if there are issues with constipation, diarrhoea or yeast. There are a number of probiotics available (See Product List) however the probiotic needs to be matched to the child's symptoms.

Gut repair program due to dysbiosis, parasites, pathogenic bacteria and leaky gut.
