I. Definition
A dietary supplement is also known as dietary supplements, it is as a form of dietary supplements, with the intention of providing nutrients for people, for whatever reason, is defined to a lack of food supplements such as vitamins, minerals are ready, fiber, fatty acids, amino acids, etc. Many countries define dietary supplements as foods, in others they are defined as drugs.
II types of dietary supplements andhow they contribute to the treatment of autism
A. Vitamins
a) Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps in preventing the formation of free radicals and enhance immune system function. It is an important vitamin, because most children with autism have weakened immune systems, it is true that vitamin A helps to support immune memory and improve eye contact and behavior of children with autism if taking in combination with vitamin D.
b) Vitamin B complex
Vitamin B Complex is a vitamin family, including thiamine (B1),Riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9), cyanocobalamin (B12) and choline. They work together to improve the function of the other, so a lack of vitamin B can reduce the effectiveness of the others. Vitamin B complex helps function of the nervous system and glands, through the creation of enzymes needed to improve the brain.
i) Vitamin B1
In addition to supporting the smooth functioning of the heart, it also helps to improve the emigration andFunction of the central nervous system cells in the transmission of information. Study shows that vitamin B1 has the help to improve the test results for children with autism. It may be in green, leafy vegetables like spinach and peas are found.
ii) Vitamin B2
It is also important, helps to build healthy DNA, it also helps to control mental function and stress, by increasing the production of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, which improve a rare genetic defect in some children with themAutism.
iii) Vitamin B3
It is also important for the production of energy metabolism, but also contributes to an increase in cerebral blood flow, which negatively affects the risk of nervous symptoms such as emotional problems, irritability, memory loss, etc.
iv) Vitamin B6
It is said that vitamin B6 reduces behavioral problems, improved eye contact and attention span and learning abilities of children with autism, when working with magnesium.
Folic v)Acid
Folic acid is also known as Vitamin B9, it is in maintaining healthy brain, cell-DNA production and reproduction of crucial importance. Most children with autism are found, folate deficiency have, leading to neurological problems, including slow thinking, depression, memory loss and indigestion.
vi) Vitamin B 12
Besides helping to improve the inclusion of all essential nutrients in the body, but also improve the proper functioning of the nervous system and brainWork as they should, and therefore reduce the risk of nervous symptoms, including developmental regression, impaired memory, slow thinking, anxiety and depression.
c) Vitamin C
Besides the best known for its antioxidant in the fight against the formation of free radicals and bacteria and viruses, but also known for the crucial function of the brain. Some studies show that vitamin C helps to remove toxins from the body, and heavy metals accumulate in the brain. In some studies, vitamin Cincreased the IQ scores in normal and Down's children, and reduces confusion and depression in children with autism.
d) vitamin E
Study shows that vitamin E helps to improve verbal language for children with autism if taking along with omega 3 fatty acid.
B. minerals
a) Magnesium
Magnesium is important for the proper functioning of the brain and muscle cells of crucial importance. Study shows that magnesium has a significant positive impact on the behavior of children with autism if the removalTogether with vitamin B6. Magnesium can be found plenty of vegetables, seeds, nuts, and whole grain products.
b) Zinc Picolinate
Zinc is not only important to lower elevated levels of other minerals like copper, it also helps the function of the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract to improve, which adversely affect the risk of nervousness and the increase of the digestive system to absorb vital vitamins and minerals.
c) calcium
It is also a very important mineralfor strong bones, it also plays an important role in neurological function in the transmission of messages. Lack of calcium causes nervous tension, leading to unpleasant dispositions, temper tantrums, muscle spasms and cramps, anxiety and insomnia.
d) Selenium
Selenium is also a key enzyme that prevents the formation of free radicals in the brain cells, it is also important for the production of glutathione, which helps eliminate the toxic metals and othersharmful man-made chemicals in our bodies.
e) Sulfate
Most children with autism have little or no ability to convert compounds to sulfate, resulting in the inability of the body in protecting the environment, produced against chemicals and some chemical substances in the body, leading to nervousness as a result of environmental toxins in some parts of the accumulated body.
g) Iodine
Iodine is for the regulation of normal thyroid function and the prevention of critical importancemental retardation. Most children with autism are found in order to have iodine deficiency, leading to behavioral problems.
f) potassium
Some children with autism may experience low muscle tone as a result of the lack of low levels of potassium in the body, or the inability of the body to absorb potassium, because of low levels of magnesium.
C. Other supplements
a) Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid that helps not only to calm the brain and inhibitsthe excitation of nerve cells, it also helps that blocks the excito-toxic effects of glutamate and aspartate, which is in reducing the risk of extreme hyperactivity and regression.
b) glutamine
It is a precursor of the antioxidant glutathoine. Besides helping to prevent excessive oxidation of cells, ie the risk of failure of the transmission of information by brain cells affected by reduced cell membranes, but also improves the digestive enzymes and probiotics on the gastrointestinal tract --Tract and thus restoring the integrity of the digestive system.
c) Glutathione
Glutathione is found in the liver, helps the liver to many harmful compounds from the bile detoxify. In addition to support to protect our body cells from oxidation and increase oxygen neorological function, it also fills the gastrointestine-intestinal tract.
d) Carosine
It is said that helps carosine, neurological functions, including behavior, language, eye contact and to improve theSpeech. Studies show that the inclusion of carosine helps improve the brain in the control of emotion, epileptic activity, cognitive, expressive language and abstract thinking for children with autism.
e) melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the method of our brain to be us going to sleep and generally used as a sleep aid medicine for children. Since most children with autism with behavioral problems, including sleep disorders, melatonin improves the combination of betterSleep, a better control of biological rhythms, and a high antioxidant activity. Is no matter how good it is still a kind of hormone, please contact with the children of doctors before using.
f) DMSA
DMSA is an oral chelating agents to remove mercury and other metals from the body, including toxic heavy metals in the brain, which helps in improvement of social reciprocity for children with autism.
g) Coenzyme Q 10
Coenzyme Q 10 is an important addition to the maintenancea healthy immune system, it also helps to improve the neurological functions that are more and more oxygen to the brain and central nervous system, leading to rising energy prices as a result of the ATP energy cycle and the improvement of mental alertness.
h) Essential fatty acids
Essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6, also contribute to the normal function of brain cells to receive, and the reduction of cholesterol in the bloodstream. it also constitutes an important role in increasing the attentionAnd improve the concentration span of children with autism. Essential fatty acids Omega 3 p.m. to 6 a.m. can be found in cold water fish, flaxseed oil, olive oil and nuts and seeds.
