Autism Supplements and autism vitamins are specifically designed to aid the treatment of Autism, and Autism-Spectrum disorders.
Amino Acids
5 HTP
5-HTP is a nutritional supplement derived from the seeds of the Griffonia plant and is considered a natural mood enhancer. 5-HTP is a safe and effective means of increasing brain serotonin levels. Serotonin, an important brain neurotransmitter, is key in the regulation of appetite, mood, and melatonin production. The presence of serotonin in the brain [...]
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Acetyl-L-carnitine is a derivative of L-carnitine that provides all the benefits and functions of L-carnitine such as aiding in fatty acid metabolism and energy production. Deficiencies in L-carnitine are manifested as low energy levels and muscular weakness. The acetyl group that is part of acetyl-L-carnitine contributes to the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is [...]
GABA natural calm
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA is synthesized in the brain from another amino acid, glutamate, and functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter – meaning that it blocks nerve impulses. In the body, GABA is concentrated in the hypothalamus region of the brain and is known [...]
Glycine
Glycine is an amino acid essential for aiding the detoxification pathways in the body and for central nervous system function. In the brain, glycine acts to inhibit the neurotransmitters that can cause seizure activity, hyperactivity, and manic (bipolar) depression. It also helps supply the body with glucose needed for energy and helps to regulate blood [...]
L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine is an important nutrient and is necessary for fatty acid metabolism and energy production in heart and muscle function. Although L-Carnitine is not “officially” an amino acid, it bears many resemblances to amino acids and is usually grouped under this heading. Since the burning of fat is a major source of muscular energy, [...]
L-Carnosine
L-Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide, which is a protein building block consisting of two amino acids, alanine and histidine. Found abundantly in the muscle and brain tissues of the body, L-Carnosine levels decrease significantly with age. Neurological research suggests that L-Carnosine appears to stimulate brain function in areas of the brain that control [...]
L-Glutamine
The amino acid glutamine plays a key role in the metabolism, function, and structure of the entire gastro-intestinal (GI) tract and its extensive immune system. Many clinical studies support that the fact that dietary and endogenous glutamine is critical in maintaining normal intestinal permeability, mucosal cell regeneration, and structure. Glutamine is the most abundant [...]
L-Taurine
Taurine is a non-essential sulfur rich amino acid that is found in abundance in the central nervous system and is essential for the maintenance and protection of vision. It is synthesized in the liver from the amino acids cysteine and methionine, along with the assistance of Vitamin B6. Taurine is helpful as an antioxidant, and [...]
