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, Taurine 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 in SpectrumComplete™ are as follows:
