Joan - Speech supplement

[Guest guest]

We have never used this product but we have used “elements†of the product. We use Omega 3 like crazy! When we first introduced it we saw a huge comprehension growth as well as motor planning. Both required for improved speech, especially motor planning. Once we added flax seed (huge on Omega3s) we saw Freddie's conversational language sore! Freddie's speech therapist was so impressed with his recent rapid speech development that she started taking the omega 3s herself. For her to bring this too my attention unsolicited gives me extra confidence in it's nutritional value!

The product seems awfully expensive especially because you can walk into any vitamin store and get the same products a great deal cheaper! You just have to learn a little about the manufactures. As an example, we use Carlson's products because of the purity (no detectable traces of mercury). A little research and you could probably reproduce it for much less.

Freddie’s Omega 3 supplements consist of :

3 X daily Carlson’s DHA Fish Oil (DHA Omega-3 oil)

2 heaping teaspoons daily of BROWN flax seed ground in a fruit smoothie

An added bonus of the flax seed is that Freddie's constipation has completely disappeared!!!! No more Miralax ever again!!!!!!
