Description
Kirkman
is pleased to offer a new comprehensive nutritional supplement
which incorporates a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals
and other nutritional factors. Many parents find it difficult
to give their child a multitude of different supplements
daily or several times a day, and other parents are unsure
of which nutritional supplement regimen to follow. Some
parents may be waiting for laboratory or physician's reports
which will eventually be a guide to a supplement program.
In this case a broad spectrum dietary supplement is suggested
in the interim. SpectrumComplete™ helps solve all these
issues by being very comprehensive and because it tastes
good and dissolves well, kids should not resist compliance.
SpectrumComplete™
will also offer an alternative to Kirkman's Super Nu-Thera®
product line which contains higher dosages of vitamin
B-6. Some children do not respond to the high B-6 or to
Super Nu-Thera® in general, but those individuals
still need a very comprehensive, high quality supplement.
SpectrumComplete™ fills that role with nutrients in highly
absorbable forms. Those parents wanting to use SpectrumComplete™
but wanting higher B-6 levels can supplement with additional
B-6 or Pyridoxal- 5-Phosphate.
Summarizing
the above discussion, SpectrumComplete™ should find valuable
application in the following situations:
Parents
new to supplementation who want to start with one comprehensive
product.
Compliance
situations where parents find it very difficult to get
multiple supplements in their children.
When
parents are awaiting laboratory and/or physician's reports
to guide them in setting up a supplement program.
When
high B-6 products such as Super Nu-Thera® are not
effective.
As
a comprehensive foundation to supplementation, to which
other products can be added per testing results or doctor's
instructions.
As
an alternative to less complete products being offered
by other supplement companies.
What
are the unique properties of SpectrumComplete™ and what
are the ingredients which make it so comprehensive?
SpectrumComplete™
contains all of the B-vitamins, fat soluble vitamins,
and minerals children require. Other specialty nutrients
are also present. Some of the unique potencies, ingredients
and properties of SpectrumComplete™ are:
A
full spectrum of immune supporting ingredients including
vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, Coenzyme Q-10,
and beta glucan.
Pro-Vitamin
A from mixed carotenoids as well as the regular standard
form vitamin A acetate. These mixed carotenoids consist
of Beta Carotene, Lutein and Zeaxanthan, powerful antioxidants
and free radical scavengers. It is important to also
include a substantial amount of non-carotenoid vitamin
A such as the acetate.
In
addition to Beta Carotene, Lutein and Zeaxanthan, the
powerful antioxidants Coenzyme Q-10 and Grapeseed Extract
are present.
Choline
which is essential in the manufacture of the neurotransmitter,
"acetylcholine".
Inositol,
Tauine and Glycine which are required for liver support.
Inositol is also necessary for proper nerve, brain,
and muscle function.
Taurine
and Glycine help maintain the neurotransmitters in the
brain and produce a calming effect on the body. Glycine
is needed by the body to stimulate glutathione production.
200
mg. of Glucosamine Sulfate which provides sulfur in
the form of sulfate which helps to support the phenol
sulfotransferase (PST) enzyme system.
Molybdenum
which is important in sulfur metabolism and may help
support the PST system. Molybdenum may also be important
in supporting healthy copper levels.
Selenium
for its immune supporting properties and chromium piccolinate
as a chromium source.
DMAE
to aid in focusing.
Higher
vitamin B-12 potencies are present. Since B-12 is a
water soluble nutrient which does not accumulate to
toxic levels in the body, Kirkman feels this higher
level of B-12 is warranted.
Will I need
to use any other supplements with SpectrumComplete™?
This
depends on your child, your child's diet, and the nutritional
regimen agreed upon with your child's physician. Individuals
on a casein free diet will require extra calcium to bring
daily intakes up to 800-1000 mg. daily.
Kirkman
does not include any herbal components in SpectrumComplete™.
Though some herbs do have a place in supplementation,
clinical studies are incomplete and since herbs are natural
products growing in varying environmental conditions,
the potential for certain individuals to be sensitive
to a given herb is too great in our opinion. We feel herbs
should be supplemented on an individual basis.
Potencies
