The brain and nervous system are constantly developing in children, which is why Simple Spectrum contains nutrients specifically studied for neurodevelopmental support. Research shows vitamin/mineral supplementation improves nutritional and metabolic status in children with autism, including improvements in methylation, glutathione, oxidative stress, and ATP production — all critical for healthy brain cell development.

Simple Spectrum addresses the documented nutritional deficiencies common in autism spectrum disorder. Studies show vitamins B1, B6, B12, A, and D are often low in children with ASD due to selective eating, gastrointestinal issues affecting absorption, and increased metabolic demands. Our formula provides these nutrients in highly bioavailable forms to bypass common absorption barriers.

This unflavored dissolvable powder uses methylated and chelated nutrient forms for superior absorption. Research demonstrates vitamins in highly bioavailable forms are more effectively absorbed and utilized by the body — especially important for children with gastrointestinal issues or genetic variations affecting nutrient metabolism.

Most children's multivitamins lack the brain-specific nutrients documented in autism research. A national survey found nutraceuticals had significantly higher benefit ratings and lower adverse effects than psychiatric medications for autism symptoms. Simple Spectrum includes choline (neurotransmitter synthesis), CoQ10 (mitochondrial energy production), inositol (mood regulation via serotonin pathways), and MSM (sulfation support) — nutrients specifically studied for neurodevelopmental disorders.

How to mix: Dissolve powder in 4–6 oz of food (applesauce, yogurt, oatmeal) or beverage (juice, smoothie, milk alternative). Stir thoroughly. The powder is unflavored and dissolves without changing taste or texture significantly.

Why start low: Gradual introduction allows you to monitor tolerance and gives the body time to adjust to increased nutrient intake. If digestive upset occurs, maintain the starting dose for another week before advancing.

Finding a manufacturing facility that met the high standards of our founders was extremely important to us. All of our manufacturing is done in a FDA certified facility right here in the U.S.A.

Third-party testing is also very important to us. This means that an independent organization has reviewed our product and determined that the final product complies with specific standards for safety, quality, ingredient accuracy and performance. Basically, this is the most effective way to guarantee that the ingredients you intend to be in your product are actually in your product. Unfortunately, this is not the standard practice for most supplement makers but it absolutely should be!

All of our supplement containers have the manufactured date listed on them. Our supplement is effective and safe to use for up to two years after the manufactured date.
