Supplements that made a huge difference

[Pennmom]

My daughter started battling PANS 3 years ago. We went to a specialist that gave her antibiotics for more than 8 months. I truly regret this length of time; especially since it did not seem to help as much as we would have thought/hoped. About 2 years after this started, we went to a functional medicine CRNP. She gave us a list of supplements for our daughter to take that helped dramatically within one week! We still have our ups and downs, but these supplements made a big difference, much more so than all the antibiotics. These are the supplements:

RelaxMax (Xymogen) can be purchased on the Xymogen website, even without a practitioner. Very helpful supplement in a powder form (GABA, Inositol, L Theanine, Taurine, Magnesium. She was prescribed half a capful per day at 10 years old.

Omega Longevity (Aceva) 1/2 teaspoon per day

The Extinguisher (Mechanism Wellness) 1-2 per day 

2,000 IU's vitamin D3

Probiotic (we used Culturelle kids packets; one per day)

Multivitamin (we used Flinstone gummies)

We used these supplements for about one year. We now adjust as needed: still using RelaxMax most days, 1,000 IU D3, probiotic, multi, sometimes omega 3.

I truly hope and pray that these supplements can help your child as they did ours.

PS There was also a supplement recommended called Copa Calm by Ortho Molecular. I think the nurse practitioner said one or two drops per day as needed. I did use this during a really bad flare and it was helpful. I did discontinue after that week when things settled down. My daughter's cheeks were flushing and I read that it can be from too much GABA. It really helped, but I believe only wise to use for occasional, serious flare ups.

Yes, the Relaxmax has been the most helpful supplement for our child, and the one we continue to use.

All the best!
