Spectrum Complete II hypoallergenic capsules is formulated for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities without artificial flavoring or coloring.
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 physician's 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 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 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. 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?
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.
Free Of Soy, wheat, casein, gluten, milk, egg, yeast, gelatin, artificial flavorings, artificial colorings, fish, peanuts or tree nuts
