Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 My developmental pediatrician recommended the following for my 2 1/2 yr old son. First Week - .25 ml (1 x per day) Second Week - .50 ml Third Week - .75 ml Fourth week - 1 ml (which is about 1/2 tsp) However, we just started with 1/2 tsp in morning. After a couple weeks, we went to 1/2 tsp in morn and then another 1/2 tsp at night. We've had great results so far. No negative side effects. > > Please anyone help !!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 One teaspoon is 5 mls, so half is 2.5 mls. ..25 ml is really a nothing dose - and we have seen surges with every bump in dosing. So 1/2 tsp twice a day is 10 mls. (We are using 1/2 tsp 3x a day at mealtime - so total of 15 ml (or a tablespoon a day). -claudia [ ] Re: ProEFA Help My developmental pediatrician recommended the following for my 2 1/2 yr old son.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 , Thanks for clarifying the dosage amounts. I knew that what was recommended was way lower than what those on this site were using, so we didn't go with that anyway. But wow, I didn't guess it was so little! > > > > Please anyone help !!
