logismum Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi My son is currently on a multi-vitamin given to us by our Naturopath that we started seeing and i know there are lots of ingredients in it that have been talked about on the forum that can be a great help but just wondering if anyone who has more experience with this can see anything on the list that might be alarming? http://www.bioconcepts.com.au/pdf/products/ORTHO/Cognisense.pdf The adult dose is 10g a day, He is on 5g a day so is only getting half the qty's. I know he can have more magnesium that the 50mg he would be getting from this but don't want to give him the adult dose because i'm unsure on some of the other ingredients and the qty's for a child (he is 6.5) Any thoughts or opinions on this product would be appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hi it looks ok I think, but I have no idea what the last 3 ingredients are as I have not heard of those fruits? But yes, more magnesium would be needed, especially if he has tested low on that or does in fact have TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logismum Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hi it looks ok I think, but I have no idea what the last 3 ingredients are as I have not heard of those fruits? But yes, more magnesium would be needed, especially if he has tested low on that or does in fact have TS Thanks for your input I might ask her what those fruits are as i'm not sure either. We have no diagnosis, Only told that when he was 4.5yrs he had mild anxiety with a tic disorder and to not be surprised if he he started vocals as well. Which he recently has at 6.5yrs. This then led to me researching and TS coming up A LOT then researching again for natural help and me feeling more positive which then led to a natropath and candida/leaky gut etc. Hoping to see a new paedatrician that is starting in our town soon but that could take forever and my gp isnt being real helpful :/ so i'm sticking with the help from our natropath (who bless her has worked with kids and adults who have had tics and ts)I don't want to sit back and do nothing.

I would like to try it with my boys they both have Tourette's and I think this might help them. Hi My2boys, I think you can only get it through a natropath or practioner but maybe try a google search and see if it's possible to get online. My son is now taking double dose (the adult dose) as i checked out all the safe mg levels etc and he isnt getting constipated. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logismum Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi there have u found this vitamin has helped with ur son at all ? Thanks Hi, He has only been on it about 3 weeks so i can't really say yet if it's helping tic wise. My boy doesn't have any major motor tics and is mostly vocal for the last couple of months since vocal started. The vitamin definitely has great things in it for the brain and is used a lot in downs syndrome kids as well as those with ADHD so it would probably be even better for those with TS+. The Natropath seems to think when we are about half way through the tub we should start seeing some difference in his general wellbeing. We are also dealing with Candida and leaky gut for him which also impacts his health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My2boys Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 No I haven't found that vitamin yet. I did try a google search nothing came up. I might have to find a local naturopath to possibly get it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
