| 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.
-
-
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.
