depends on the supplement.

I haven't tried any except for molybdenum. If you are looking for a copper

reduction by adding molybdenum, that could take 4 months (on labs).

We usually try something for two weeks. Only adding one thing at a time.

Is that to test for tolerance/intolerance or to look for actual improvements?

or both?

That's the rule we use to see if it is doing anything. Intolerance you would

know within a couple of days. I'm not going to continue if the supplement is

making them aggressive, or physical reactions like BM problems etc...

Oh, I get the whole intolerance thing. I'm not one to continue a supplement that

has negative reactions just to see if I get some positives, too.

I was wondering what you do with that supplement after 2 weeks if you see

nothing? That is a pretty common scenario over here. My son is typically not a

reactor at all, and I question some of what I have in our regimen for that

reason.

How do you weed out what is doing its job even though you don't see overt signs

and what is a waste? There are some supplements, like zinc and molybdenum, that

might need more time to do their work at a cellular level.

Some supplements you just give because, like zinc, a multi, fish oil,

antioxidants, probiotics, etc...

The supps I'm talking about giving two weeks and seeing if they do anything are

like extra B6, B12, Vinpocetine, stuff like that.

This is my opinion only, based on my experience with my kids.

> vinpocetine 10mg 1xa day

I would try 5mg 2x per day, for two weeks. If no improvement, remove.

> Taurine-250mgs 2x aday.

If this one wasn't causing any negatives, I would keep it for six months. This

one was VERY beneficial for my kids, for several different reasons.

> Molybnenum-1 caps divided a.m p.m

Probably three months. If no improvements, remove.
