Mercury toxic people should get no more than 5 mcg of copper per pound of person from all sources - and the diet contains some. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Tried it, I asked when I called in about the ingredients, they assured my gf/cf and corn free......guess what, it has corn. If corn isn't a problem for you, the copper is 400mcg per serving, zinc is 10mg. Decent ratio, but my son needs more zinc (doctor recommended 50mg, so I figured I would give him extra zinc at night with his culturelle) If corn isn't an issue for you, email me and I can send you what i have left. I have a little more than half left (37 out of 60) These are the children's chewable wafers, and they consider 4 a serving (I figured 1, 4 times a day) My older son takes the adult version, unfortunately not regularly enough to know if it helps (moderate ADHD) My oldest won't eat the chewable wafers, they are kind of big, and the taste is a little better than a regular chewable, but the grainy texture really bothers me and my son. > There is a product called FOCUS FACTOR.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Dear Thank you so much for all the info. I would like to try it out because his teacher says he has hard time staying on task and focusing. It is also a very academic school with very high standards perhaps not good for him. Anyways as for corn it is a problem but he takes allergy shots for corn. Do you think it works?
