Everyone knows that vitamins and minerals are essential for your health. But what happens if you take to much? There are alot of articles online that that will claim autism can be "cured" by taking this much of one vitamin or this much of another. Please know your own peace of mind that as of now there is no cure for autism. A multivitamin is always a good thing for you and your child to take. The same can be said for probiotics. But, did you know that even vitamins and minerals have possible side effects? Especially when taken in large doses. If a person is deficient in a particular vitamin and takes a supplement to bring it up to where it should be the benefits could be extraordinary. But if you are not deficient you are just taking something your body doesn't truly need and could potentially do more harm than good. Multivitamins are designed to help keep your vitamins level not in excess. We recommend that before you give your child anything other than a multivitamin to please have the necessary blood work done to check for deficiencies. Your doctor can preform vitamin and mineral tests.
