Behavior Balance has arrived!!!!

[HolyCalamityJane]

Hi All,

On some of your kind recommendations I ordered some behavior balance for DD aged 5 which arrived today by courier (very exciting!!!!) So just after a little advice really will the 1 spoonful be enough to begin with or should I start with 2 and move down to 1. How quickly should I expect to see a difference in behaviour. Is it better to give in the morning before school. Unfortunately there were no guidelines with it so any info or advice that you have is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ineedstrongcoffee and iceflower - are your dc deficient in Vit B? If not there is no reason to give the supplement.

There is quite a bit if each Vit B in the supplement and if you overdose (ie your dc is not deficient and you still administer) can cause proprioceptive issues (my knowledge from research few years ago) hence some hyperactivity and bouncing off the walls since the child loses the sense of how their own limbs are oriented in space.

You should play a bit with dose and as with every supplement start with very low dose and slowly increse after few days to reach to the desired dose for age or the one that gives you good results.

Vit B are water soluble meaning whatever the body doesnt need will be excreted through wee mostly,

DS has been taking this for 2 years I think and will be taking it till his gut heals and his body will retain the vitamins from the healthy diet he is on.

one week after stopping vit D suppliment and started taking eye-qs again, ds is something of a pleasure to be with again - hoping its not just by chance
He also is now swallowing the eye-qs so I think we'll switch to vegepa when he runs out...
I really hope he has a better week at School - most stressful thing is School
