Re: - which product? how much?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to the boards as well (so glad I found this

site). Similar to Brigett, my son is 22 months and 24 pounds and I

was also confused as to how much/how often and what to give him.

Any guidance would be most helpful.

Thanks

When my son was 2 years and 9 months old I started with Nordic Naturals

Pro EFA Junior. These are half the dose of the regular Nordic Naturals

Pro EFA. I gave him 1 capsule a day. After a couple of months I

increased to 2 capsules a day. Then I found this group and learned

that was a fairly low does. Now I am giving him 2 capsules of Pro EFA

(regular not junior) a day. I just added 400IU of all natural Vitamin

E per day also. I can't say that I have seen any significant changes

yet, but I am hoping that it is just too early (it has been less than 2

weeks). Basically, I think if you start out low, you are not going to

hurt your child. Just keep an eye on how they are responding and react

accordingly. I think the fish oils could make stools kind of loose,

but their body may adjust after a couple of weeks. My son has not had

any problems with the fish oils. I started Vitamin E about a month

ago, but didn't realize I had a blend of synthetic and natural Vitamin

E. He started to get emotional like separation anxiety when going to

school. It's hard to say if it was the Vitamin E or just a normal

phase in childhood though. I'm not a doctor and there are others in

this group more knowledgable than me so others may have more advice.

Best wishes!

Hello,

Okay I'm still confused. I've spent hours each night trying

to read everything and learn as much as I can to help my son.

My son is 3 1/2 and has sever apraxia and Developmental

Coordination Disorder. Since finding this group and starting enzymes

and supplements he has shown improvement with both speech and body.

He currently is taking digestive enzymes, culturelle, vitamin E

(400), Taurine (325), Brainchild vitamins/minerals, mag & B6

chewables, and efalex (5 ml twice a day). He just got a prescription

today for Methyl B12 injections, which we are so excited about.

I have a few questions that I just can't seem to get answered

(and maybe it is just me not understanding). My son is on Efalex

(5ml twice a day), but I notice more people here take ProEfa and

ProEPA. Is this better? Some people I read take 2 ProEfa and 1

ProEpa twice a day and others are up to 3 times a day. Would it be

better to switch him to this and do I start him at twice a day (2 and

1) and then move up??? Is there more of what he needs in these two

supplements than what is in Efalex(Efamol)??? Someone please help me

with this b/c I've been trying to figure this out for the last couple

of weeks.

Also I just starting him on Vitamin E (natural 400). Is

there another type of Vitamin E, gamma something I should also have

him on??? I am only giving him this once a day, should it be twice a

day?

Any other recommendations would also be appreciated on

supplements that may have helped your child(s). I look forward to

any answers and for making me believe that there is hope for my non

vebal son (babbling and few words).

Hi :

Here is the formula for the ProEFA and ProEPA for one capsule.

ProEFA on capsule

148 mg EPA

99 mg DHA

40 mg GLA

ProEPA one capsule

425 mg EPA

100 mg DHA

90 mg other omega 3s

615 mg total omega 3s

You can switch to Nordic Naturals or stay with the Efalex and figure

out if the formula is similiar. Then figure out the price

difference. We started out giving one proefa, 6 mos. later added 2nd

proefa, 6 months later added 1 proepa. Then about a month later from

that we upped his dose to twice a day (total of 6 capsules). Lots

and lots of new words once we upped it to the second dose. Some are

doing 9 capsules.

When and if you up his vitamin E to 800 is when you should add the

gamma. I have had trouble finding the Gamma Vitamin E in stores

around me. suggested to me to google Jarrow Gamma 300 and

buy it online.

Hope this helps you some

I have noticed that many of you are having a hard time finding gamma. I

found a High Gamma E that is 200 I.U. E and 200mg Gamma. It's by Rexall and

I found it at Wal-Mart for under 4 dollars. It is natural and I give him two

of those a day and 1 400 IU E. I plan to increase his E to a total of 1200 E

400 gamma in February. I'm seeing great results. Just recently, my son had a

surge in his signs. I got the signing time dvds from the library and he has

watched them all week. It's amazing the things he is telling us now.
