Lawyer&Mom Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Any recommendations? My kids don’t actually like the Smarty Pants gummys, that would be the most obvious option. I’m trying to find a more affordable methylated option before we go to the fancy Autism vitamins, which maybe more than we actually need. (Affordable is relative, I’m willing to spend money on good vitamins, but the fancy Autism vitamins are super expensive.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Have you tried different variations of Smarty Pants? You'd have to check the amounts vs recommended amounts for children yourself, but my whole family prefers the flavor and texture of Smarty Pants prenatal (non-organic version) vitamins. They don't like the kids' version, the mens' version, or the organic versions we have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 what do you call "autism vitamins"? I found the "simple spectrum" ones - and so far, I can't even find out what is IN THEM because of how their website is set up. If I can't read the label - no way in hades would I fork over any money. (I know of a few other brands of sups that do that with their "one size fits all" - I did finally track down their ingredients, ,and they were very overpriced for very poor quality.)

(I know of a few other brands of sups that do that with their "one size fits all" - I did finally track down their ingredients, ,and they were very overpriced for very poor quality.) Our pediatrician gave us a list of supplements that have been studied as being beneficial for Autism. I don’t remember the names, but they are all from specialist labs and are like “take 5 pills 3x a day” and cost hundreds per month. Even the pediatrician said they may be overkill for my successfully mainstreamed Autistic kid. I want to try a methylated vitamin, because methylated B-vitamins have been hugely beneficial for my anxiety. The pediatrician recommended just trying it instead of testing her methylation status. Worth a shot, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
