When parents are looking for a good quality, comprehensive vitamin and mineral supplement they look for something that is easy to give as well as being well rounded. I have had really great success with my patients on a multi-vitamin called Syndion or Syndion SF. It is a very well rounded multi-vitamin, multi-mineral and antioxidant support. Jim Adams PhD created Syndion. Jim Adams is a researcher from Arizona State University who has worked in the biomedical research community for Autism for many, many years. You can get more information about Syndion on my website www.autismsupplementscenter.com. So again, Syndion is great because it is a vitamin, mineral and antioxidant support you get all three very important supplement groups with one liquid supplement.
You will also find dosing information on the website so you can find out how much to give based on the child's weight. Generally you take Syndion twice a day and it can very easily be mixed with many different juices. Some children really have a hard time with certain tastes so with Syndion you can try out different juices to mix it in. Syndion can work very successfully for some children who have issues with swallowing in general, who cannot swallow pills or who have aversions to certain tastes. Syndion is great at providing those necessary things that are often lacking in an individual with Autism such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Starting a new supplement such as Syndion can bring new skills and development. Some of the things you may see when you implement Syndion is better eye contact, better language skills and even more recognition of their environment. Or you may see a change in mood for the better or better comprehension in general. Whatever the changes, we can tell that many things are happening and they are generally related to the major areas that we know are affected in Autism. And when we talk about those areas we tend to refer to areas related to socialization, attention and focusing, the issue of language and communication, higher level cognitive functioning, and often even self-stimulatory and stereotypical behaviors. We know that not one single supplement is going to address all of the issues we want to address with each child. But, as far as a great nutrient support that can provide necessary vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, Syndion can be a great place to start.
