Re: BCAA supplement?

[Guest guest]

BCAAs (valine, isoleucine and leucine) are good -- but the $64 million question -- can the child metabolize it?  The inability to metabolize it due to insufficient resources (carnitine, coq10, riboflavin, or niacin -- or faulty metabolism of any of these components) can sometimes lead to glutathione depletion under certain conditions.  It's great if they can metabolize it, but in a lot of cases, autism exists bc of the inability to metabolize certain aminos properly.

 

HI everyone.  I just read about this supplement showing improvements in autism.  Has anyone tried and saw improvements?  If saw what brand is good?  I read reviews that say it doesn't taste very good.  Thanks for any replies!

I totally agree, but want to add that some will have genetic issues

making other than low amounts of one of these very harmful to them. So,

just saying that I do believe many can be helped with these since I have

heard of other supplements having these and bringing good results, but

always remember some will get worse instead.

Love and prayers,

Yes & Yes. Our son's OAT showed him low in these ( his valine is in the lowest possible percentile) so we started roughly 6 months ago. We use the swanson's brand. Yes it tastes pretty bad. We mix is strawberry banana coconut yogurt. Sent from my iPhone
