Re: Brainchild Nutritionals

[Guest guest]

We've been on the Brainchild for a few months and it is sooooo much easier to

give than anything else we've tried. Plus, it replaces a lot of supplements

(MSM, DMAE,NAC,ALA ,Trimethylglycine etc), making it cost effective.

Brainchild's Nutritionals might be tolerated better if your child is

having trouble with the SNT. I am looking into it at the moment and

have this information:

The website is www.brainchildnutritionals.com

Phone: 831-465-0104

The owner of the company HAD two autistic children and he will take

with you.

Another parent said the taste of the vitamins is very good

(especially the nite cal calcium supplement). The products are gfcf,

and most meet the finegold diet restrictions as well as being free of

other problematic items.

I am using ALL-One at the moment which is also very digestible, but

would like to have something not in a powder on hand. There are a few

different formulations of the brainchild as well.

Could you provide about how much Brainchild runs per month per child.

It looked expensive to me, but I couldn't figure out how long it

would last. Of course, if you are replacing other supplements, that

will increase the affordability of it. Right now the All-one runs

about $12/child for 1 month.\

Thanks,

They come in 2 bottles-1 minerals and 1 vitamins. The 2 bottles will last 2

months for a 25 Lb child, 1 month for a 50 lb child. That's for 3 doses a

day(I just do 2) With shipping and handling-the total of SSII was 83.00 and

The SSIII is about 10.00 more.

This is expensive but that's all has to take(besides enzymes) and if

ya'll are on a lot of different supplements, it really simplifies things.

That sounds like quite a bargain to me, since that is all they have

to take. I realized how much I was spending on all the supplements

and giving them throughout the day was kind of a hassle. I don't know

about anyone else, but I have noticed I am not going to the clinic

once every couple of weeks, for all kinds of pains and infections and

stuff anymore. That was $10/visit plus whatever quick remedie was

prescribed.

Ann,

Actually I'm really interested in Brainchild supplements because right

now the monthly cost of my son's supplements comes to:

- prescribed multivitamins from Apothecary - $40

- CLO - ~$20

- Flora Source powder (~$20)

- amino acids - $32

If Brainchild suppls can replace all those and more, then I'll

definitely go for them.

My son is a patient of Dr. Amy Holmes and she does not have a problem with

him taking Brainchild Spectrum Support III daily (contains a small amount

of alpha lipoic acid - 15 mg a day, I think). She said this is too small

amount to cause any movement of metals. Just thought I'd toss this in for

anyone considering such a supplement.

ALpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN ON A DAILY BASIS IF YOUR

CHILD HAS A BODY BURDEN OF METALS! It's a natural chelator and your

body should have breaks from chelation. If your child is taking this

and you want to know if your child is excreting metals have his/her

bile tested to see if metals are being excreted.

Thanks, Ann, and others, for the info. I will follow up with

Lang.

We used spectrum support II because I didn't want the ALA. (ALA is a

common additive to a number of pre-mixed supplements.) You have to

remember the majority of people see ALA as a nice antioxidant, not as

a fat soluble chelator.

We had no problems with the level II product, except he (it's a one

man show) can be pretty backed up and it can take awhile to get the

product to you. That aside, I'd recommend it. It tastes pretty good

and it has good ingredients.
