Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 My son has been taking 1 capsule a day for 10 days now. He is 38 mos and 30 1/2 pounds. I am supposed to increase his dosage in 4 days to 2 capsules a day. His pediatrician suggested starting with one capsule a day to see how he tolerates it. I use the Carn-Aware brand and it's 200mg per capsule. I put it on his breakfast sausage (it's barely warm and the powder dissolves into the oil in the pre-cooked breakfast sausage) or his cocoa (again tepid). I searched here and another mom gives her son 4 capsules a day and he is 5. Two in the am and 2 in the pm.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I forgot to mention the Carn-Aware site mentions 2 capsules twice a day: http://www.carn-aware.com/about.htm > > I just received Cranaware and want to try it on my son who is 5 and > severely apraxic.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I am giving my 4 year old son 2 capsules each morning in his oj and am seeing some pretty neat results. He is attempting more sounds and he is finally not only signing mama but also saying mama. His teacher told me today that he is focusing much better ie: in circle time, during story time etc. He doesn't have an " official " diagnosis as of yet but is non-verbal but signs like a champ. The website does state 2 capsules morning and night for autism dx. Overall, I am pretty pleased with this carnaware!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I would start with 2 caps twice a day of carnaware. The studies that Dr. Chez has done do not show any risks associated with this amino acid supplement. > > I am giving my 4 year old son 2 capsules each morning in his oj and am > seeing some pretty neat results.
