Guest guest Posted December 24, 2000 Report Share Posted December 24, 2000 Dear List: My daughter, who has autism and is nine years old, has a very limited diet. I am looking for vitamin supplements that I can add to what she does consume. Preferably something that can mix in juice. I also remember reading something about vitamins that were like gummy bears. Any info & where I can get these vitamins would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all & have a good holiday! Jill (jillplato@...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2000 Report Share Posted December 25, 2000 http://www.dbs2.com/sangsters/shopvm.htm This is a Canadian Company (Prices are in Canadian dollars.) Please look at the last item under " others " . Also, a company called Highway to Health around San Francisco area carries them too. Their number is 650-634-0308 They have Yummie Bear Whole Food $9.95 (The price was a year ago) and Yummie Bear vitamins and Minerals $9.95 I think I was told that they are gummy bear type of products.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2000 Report Share Posted December 25, 2000 Careful if she is on a gluten free diet. I looked in to a set of healthy gummy-bear type supplements, and they had barley and oats in them. I don't know if these are the ones I saw, but I just wanted to throw that caution in.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2000 Report Share Posted December 25, 2000 Neutralized (buffered) but not straight vitamin C is practically tasteless. This can be made from sodium ascorbate, from " buffered " vitamin C powder, or by adding ascorbic acid powder to assorted other powders. Magnesium oxide powder as available from the Life Extension Foundation works quite well. You can also add zinc gluconate powder and that has minimal taste. Or you can mix the C crystals with milk of magnesia. You do have to figure out the proper ratio of ascorbic acid to oxide, hydroxide or carbonate powder to yield a more or less neutral product. Carnitine, DMAE, and TMG are fairly taste free. So is molybdenum in reasonable amounts. B vitamins taste pretty icky - you can add about 2 or 3 " b-50 " capsules to 64 ounces of some strong tasting juice like cran-raspberry before it becomes annoying. B-12 is pretty taste free if you get either straight powder or use sublingual lozenges (which are usuallys sweet). Other people's comments on what tastes good and what doesn't in juice and food would be well appreciated - we need some recipes the kids like so we can 'cook them up something that is good for them!'

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Mariette.... You may be one of the lucky ones who never really has a flair up. I never did and was sure that it was not working. I was wrong. I have been on Minocin for over 3 years and have almost no pain anymore. Occasional cranky joint here and there but at 58 I have friends who are in worse shape than me. And they do not have RA!! Sounds like you are on the right track but I would include acidophilus and a general one a day vitamin to sort of give a wide assortment of vitamin and minerals to cover all the times when you should have had that helping of spinich but opted for another piece of chocolate cake!! Can't hurt and might help is my motto. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hi folks: " Vitamin supplements do nothing to prevent gut cancers and may shorten life expectancy, research suggests. A review of 14 trials involving more than 170,000 people found antioxidant vitamins, like vitamin E, offered no protection against these cancers. People taking some supplements died prematurely, the European researchers said in the Lancet. " (But selenium may be beneficial) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3703498.stm Rodney.
