Guest guest Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 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! Quote
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2012 Report Posted September 13, 2012 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.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2012 Report Posted September 13, 2012 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 HI everyone. I just read about this supplement showing improvements in autism. Has anyone tried and saw improvements?
