Spectrum-Mate Powder -5.8 oz

This comprehensive multiple vitamin/mineral supplement contains 28 highly bioavailable essential nutrients in amounts and ratios designed to address nutritional imbalances commonly observed in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Abnormal gastrointestinal function, including chronic diarrhea and malabsorption, affects a significant percentage of individuals with ASD and contributes to nutritional deficiencies. Food elimination diets and a tendency among patients to be highly selective eaters further narrows dietary sources of essential nutrients. Spectrum-Mate addresses these inadequacies by supplying balanced amounts of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements in forms that are typically well tolerated by patients with ASD. Active forms of folate, B12, and B6 are included along with naturally-sourced carotenes, vitamin E tocopherols, and vitamin D3 for optimal nutrient absorption and utilization. Iron and copper, often contraindicated in ASD, are excluded.

Spectrum-Mate is free of common allergens, including dairy, wheat, eggs, soy protein, and gluten. No sugar, maltodextrin, stearates, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, salicylates, or preservatives are used. This formula complies with Gluten-Free/Casein-Free (GFCF).  For maximum tolerance and versatility as a foundational nutritional program, herbal ingredients are avoided. The pleasant, natural berry-pomegranate flavored powder has fine texture that dissolves easily in liquids or can be mixed in foods. A convenient measuring scoop is provided for accurate dosing.

Suggested Dosage: Adults or Children 4 or more years of age: 1 scoop or 1 1/2 teaspoons daily with food. Children less than 4 years of age: As directed by a healthcare practitioner. Mix powder directly into room temperature or cold beverages or food (ex; fruit puree) just before serving.
