fish oil + E/

[Guest guest]

Hi :

I was reading through your message and saw that you are doing 1tsp of

omega 3,6,9 and haven't seen much progress with it. You may want to

tweak this formula and add more ProEPA. 1tsp of omega 3,6,9 = 5

ProEFA capsules. Many, not all, have found the formula of 2 ProEFA +

1 ProEPA to work. You mentioned multiple doses and some have

supplemented 3 capsules at breakfast, lunch and dinner bringing the

total of capsules to 9. For my son the extra Omega 3 from ProEPA

really helped with speech. If you were to try this formula you would

need to add 3 ProEPA capsules to your 1tsp of Omega 3,6,9. I spread

my dosing out in the day and give my son 3 at breakfast and 3 at

dinner. It is a lot of trial and error and finding out what works

best for your child, but you may get better speech adding in the

ProEPA.

As for Vitamin E, my son could tolerate 400iu, but couldn't tolerate

800iu of d-alpha. I switched him to d-alpha/high gamma mix 200iu and

200mg gamma and he does a lot better on that. It was a subtle change

on the 400iu and it was very obvious with articulation when I

switched him. You will also have to tweak this to find out what works

best for your child. Some children do fine on just the d-alpha and

some children like mine need the equal ratio of d-alpha and gamma. I

buy mine at Vitamin Shoppe. Here is the link:

You can buy it in 200iu or 400iu.

Hope this helps you,
