Getting started

There are plenty of things that you can do right now to start with a supplement regime and a cleaner lifestyle. . The first has to do with food. Buy organic. I know it sounds simple, but the impact can be significant. I won't get into the science here, but know that it can help.. The second has to do with supplements. I recommend four core supplements to start help with gut health, inflammation and detox. You should see some wins, and it won't take much time, effort, or money.. My recommendation is to take a quality probiotic. I may be slightly biased because we sell one, so feel free to find another brand if that makes you feel more comfortable.. The next supplement I recommend is to take digestive enzymes with each meal. This helps break down food so our children can get the nutrients they need and reduce the chronic inflammation caused by SAD (Standard American Diet.). The next area we will focus on is DETOX.. While there are many ways to detox a child’s body, including prescription drugs and other more harsh methods, I recommend sulforaphane, which is broccoli sprout extract.. Sulforaphane is a powerful tool for detox that has been clinically proven to show results in Autism.. This is something that both my son and I both take, and I recommend for everyone.. In a recent study done by the National Academy of Sciences (http://www.pnas.org/content/111/43/15550) they found that:. * 46 Percent of the boys who took the sulforaphane supplement had significant improvements in social interaction.. * 42 Percent had substantial improvements in verbal communication.. * 54 Percent had significant decreases in abnormal behaviors.. The majority of the boys who were chosen to take the active supplement began showcasing noticeable improvements in the first 4 weeks.. In some cases even as early as 14 days.. Improvements were found in the following symptoms:. Irritability.. Lethargy.. Repetitive Movements.. Unusual Mannerisms.. Hyperactivity.. Awareness.. Communication.. That said, not all broccoli sprout extract products are created equal. There are specialized enzymes that need to be present for your body to produce sulforaphane.. I’ve tried them all and finally found one that is the best out there. I have them imported from Australia where the company harvests their broccoli sprouts and where studies show that the products yield around 3.5 times more SULFORAPHANE than the next highest broccoli sprout product.. There are two versions available as well, depending on the ability of your child to be able to swallow pills. If they can, I’d go with EnduraCell BioActive capsules.. If they’re younger, then I’d use the PomGenex mix which is a combination of broccoli sprout extract, coconut, and pomegranate.. My son uses the PomGenex, and I mix it into his daily berry smoothie, and he loves the taste.. And the last supplement of the 4 is Omega-3 fatty acids.. Omega 3 fatty acids directly help reduce inflammation in the body and brain.. I have two different products listed here and depending on your situation. I would select accordingly.. The Barleans Fish oil lemon swirl is delicious and suitable for any palette. SFH tastes decent, but is still an oil and not as yummy as the Barleans. If your kid will take it, I’d recommend the SFH because it has 10x the Omega 3’s per serving.. ===To Summarize===. Take the following supplements to help heal the gut, reduce inflammation, and help the body detox:. 1. Quality Probiotic. 2. Broccoli Sprout Extract (Sulforaphane). 3. Digestive Enzymes. 4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids. For your convenience, here's a link to our store where we carry the brands I recommend: https://myAllStarNutrition.com.
