Re: new to list/questions about supplements

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Just wondering....how did you go about starting your son on supplements?

I've read about them but I the slightest idea of where to begin. Did you

confer with your pediatrician or did you just start? Are there any side

effects? How do you know if your child has a fatty acid deficiency?

Thanks,

Marissa

Hi Marissa, yes, I did talk to my pediatrician, who told me that it

couldn't harm him so I decided to try ProEFA primarily based on the

info found on www.apraxia.cc. I figured if I didn't notice any

change then I would assume he didn't have a deficiency, butI noticed

a change within a few days. Hope this helps,

Is ProEFA a prescription or over the counter supplement? How do you know

how much to use? Where can it be bought if it is over the counter? I think

I'll try it with my 2 year old. I am allergic to fish and he was breastfed

vs. formula fed so maybe he has the deficiency?

ProEFA can be purchased online from several sources - I got mine from

Kirkmanlabs.com, but if you go to http://www.apraxia.cc and look in the index

for EFA resources, you will find some other sources. I think there

is a vegetarian form of omega-3 supplements which you might want to

try due to fish allergy.
