Vitamin supplements
My son has been on a vitamin supplement for Down syndrome for years. Listedbelow are the ingredients in this supplement. Are any of these ingredients”red alerts” (shouldn’t be given) to a child with some autistic features?Is there anything missing? I am considering switching to Kirkman’s but amconcerned that his current formula has so many more things in it?

I will highlight the ones which jump out at me. There is differenceof opinion on certain of the other ones, which you can read about here

into usable vitamin A, and need something like CLO, a retinol A.
If more than a “minute” amount, you should not be giving it every dayunless your child does not have high metal levels.

I taught my kids how to swallow capsules. But before they learned, Imixed everything into peanut butter and honey.
