Autism spectrum disorder, which product is suitable for 4-year-old children?

I would like to purchase one of your supplements for my almost 4-year-olds who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, which one do you recommend?




Dear Enza,

if the specialist who follows your children also agrees, I recommend that you try VitaDHA liquid in single-dose vials, a supplement that contains a high dosage of DHA: each vial provides 1250 mg of DHA and 360 mg of EPA that is easily assimilated by the body because it is in the form of natural triglycerides. 


DHA is the omega-3 most commonly found in the cell membranes of the nervous system, and it has been shown that children with autism spectrum or behavioral disorders can benefit from omega-3 supplementation, and these patients often have a DHA deficiency. 


VitaDHA can be consumed in the dosage of 1 vial per day for a period of at least two months. The supplement can be directly drunk, due to its pleasant lemon-flavored taste, or mixed with cold or lukewarm foods or beverages, yogurt, milk, or juice. 


The usual recommended dose is 1 vial per day for supplementation for a period of at least 2 months.


I remind you that dietary supplements are not a therapy, but only nutritional support.
