Spectrum Complete II Hypoallergenic
Food Supplement with Vitamins and Minerals
Spectrum Complete™ II hypoallergenic capsules are formulated for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities.
Kirkman® is pleased to offer this comprehensive nutritional supplement that 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 physicians' reports that will eventually be a guide to a supplement program. In this case, a broad-spectrum dietary supplement is suggested in the interim. Spectrum Complete™ II Powder helps solve all of these issues.
Spectrum Complete™ II also offers an alternative to Kirkman's Super Nu-Thera® product line that 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. Spectrum Complete™ II fills that role with nutrients in highly absorbable forms. Those parents who want to use Spectrum Complete™ II and who also want higher B-6 levels can supplement with additional B-6 or pyridoxal 5-phosphate.
Summarizing the above discussion, Spectrum Complete™ II should have 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 into their children.
* When parents are awaiting laboratory and/or physician's reports to guide them in setting up a supplement program.
* When high vitamin 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 a doctor's instructions.
* As an alternative to less complete products being offered by other supplement companies.
What are the unique properties of Spectrum Complete™ II and what are the ingredients that make it so comprehensive?
Spectrum Complete™ II 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 Spectrum Complete™ II are:
* A full spectrum of immune supporting ingredients, including vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, coenzyme Q10, 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, which are 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 Q10 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; this 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, which is included for its immune supporting properties
* Chromium picolinate, which is included as a chromium source.
* DMAE, which is included to aid in focusing.
* Higher vitamin B-12 potencies are present. Since vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble nutrient that 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 Spectrum Complete™II ?
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 Spectrum Complete™II . Though some herbs do have a place in supplementation, clinical studies are incomplete. Additionally, since herbs are natural products grown 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.
How many should I take/give?
We recommend the following:
As a dietary supplement take 4 capsules daily or if dosing by weight:
* Children 20-25 lbs: 2 capsules daily
* Children 26-60 pounds: 4 capsules daily
* Children 61-75 pounds: 6 capsules daily
* Children 76-120 pounds: 8 capsules daily
* Larger children and adults: 10-12 capsules daily
