super nu thera and rda?

	Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic
	We recently started our son(4 yrs old) on super nu thera. He only takes 1 caplet per day so far. It says to work your way up to 3 caplets per day. I called the company and they said he can definately handle the 3 per day. He weighs 42 lbs. But what I've noticed is that the ingredients are way above the recommended daily allowance(rda). He also takes 2 softgels a day of nordic naturals omega 3.6.9. Were hoping all this may help his speech. Have any of you used super nu thera? Did your kids take all 3 vitamins?  I read a lot of the studies Dr. Bernard Rimland at the Autism Research Center wrote about the positive effects of b6/magnesium(super nu thera) and autism. Thought I'd give it a try since it's fairly safe, but in that quantity? I also noticed my son started wetting the bed again at night after we started giving him the vitamins. I don't know if it was coincidence or actually the vitamins. I heard b6 can make the kids sleep heavier, so maybe he wasn't able to wake up to go? My son is fully potty trained and hasn't needed pullups or had a nighttime accidence in 4 months until now. The last 2 nights he was dry . Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks! I only give my ds one capsule of super nu-thera...BUT that is because he also takes a lot of seperate vitamins like a b6 pill among others.  If your child isn't taking anything else (other than the omegas...the super you are giving is w/out A & D right because you can easily give too much A & D w/out realizing it and the omegas are full of A & D) then I think giving the 3 pills would be fine...however maybe you want to work up to that amount.  Give the 1 pill for several weeks then add in another for several weeks, then the 3rd....watching for anything different all the while. Hope this was helpful.   Actually the super nu thera I'm giving him does have vitamin A & D in it. I looked and it's 833iu vit A, and 33iu of vit D per caplet. Is that too much in addition to giving him the 2 softgels of omega 3.6.9?I'm not positive of these numbers, but from what I remember you can give up to 2500 of vitamin A and 200 of vitamin D....I think there's an SNT without vit Aand D in it.  My son takes 1 tsp. liquid along with other vit.  supps.  I thing the vit B's just get excreted out if there is extra.
