That sounds like intolerance, my son had that rash from several foods

and supplements.

My son needed mito cocktail with CLO and all other EFAs.

the mito cocktail. Any recommendations on dosing for the following

child??

35 pound male 3 year old on the following Kirkman Lab supplements

daily:

2 capsules hypoallergenic supernuthera

2 capsules hypoallergenic promineral support

20 mg zinc

1 capsule probio gold

He is GFCF, soy/egg intollerant and PST-deficient.

TIA for any and all help!!

For my son, the most important supplements to address mito issues were

CoQ10, carnitine, and taurine.

Are those doses working okay? Do you notice problems? They seem okay

just from a cursory glance, altho they may cause problems for certain

children.

Dana,

Will's doing great with the dosing of supplements that he is

currently on with the questionable one being the CLO. We are also

hoping to test out DMG w/folinic acid and B12 in the near future once

we get the CLO issue stabalized.

Regarding CoQ10, carnatine, taurine, any suggestions on starting dose

and max dose as well as preferred brands?

Again, MANY thanks for your help!!

CoQ10: I started with 15mg per day, worked up to 60mg per day.

Carnitine: Started with 250mg per day. One of my kids needed as much

as 5000mg 3x per day at one point. This helps not only with fats, but

my kids need it for proper absorption of vitamin C and certain B

vitamins, especially mB12, folic acid, and TMG.

Taurine: Started with 250mg per day, worked up to 1000mg per day.

For brands, I go to my local health food store and find brands that

have the fewest fillers and additives. Henry's brand [the store brand

of Henry's Marketplace, where I go] generally is the best for my kids.

I have used other brands also, like Natural Factors. I use NOW for

carnitine, because it is expensive and NOW is not as expensive as the

other brands.
