How It Works
SpectrumNeeds® combines 33 active nutrients selected to support interconnected biological pathways involved in metabolism, methylation, cellular energy, and neurotransmitter function.*
The formula was developed to provide broad-spectrum nutritional support for individuals who may have increased or specialized nutritional needs, particularly children and adults with autism spectrum and related neurodevelopmental conditions.*
Because SpectrumNeeds® already contains a comprehensive combination of nutrients, a healthcare practitioner may recommend reducing or discontinuing certain overlapping supplements to avoid unnecessary duplication.
