SpectrumNeeds® by NeuroNeeds – Comprehensive Nutritional Support with 33 Active Ingredients for Overall Well-Being Lemon Flavor

This product is excellent. Is so helpful for my autistic son. I buy it every few months.

I started using SpectrumNeeds® as part of a broader focus on improving my energy, focus, and general well-being—and I’ve been really impressed. The formula is packed with a ton of essential nutrients (33 active ingredients!) and feels like a great all-in-one daily support. One of the things I really like is that it doesn’t upset my stomach like some other supplements I’ve tried, and it actually tastes pretty decent for something so comprehensive—lemon flavor is refreshing and easy to mix into water or juice. I mainly take it for the nervous system and energy metabolism support, but I also appreciate the antioxidant and methylation benefits. Bonus points for being allergen-free and clean. I’ve noticed subtle improvements in focus and overall energy during the day, so I’ll definitely keep using it as part of my morning routine.

The ingredients list is impressive. As soon as I opened the tub, I got a whiff of vitamins. The smell you get when opening a bottle of multivitamins. I thought for sure there was no way I’d get my son to even take a small sip of the mixed drink. To my surprise, once mixed in juice, the vitamin taste and smell diminished! Virtually undetectable when mixed in juice. The claims stated in the listing are all true! This is a phenomenal supplement! The ingredients list is well thought out, and backed by studies on supplemental needs of the targeted group. Pricy, but well worth it. I highly recommend giving this supplement drink a shot!

This SpectrumNeeds supplement comes in a dissolvable powder. The lemon is pleasant but is nothing to rave about. What made me ordered this is the extensive list of ingredients and that it is manufactured in the USA. I don't take it everyday, I take it every two to three days to feed some goodness into my body, since I don't always eat a balanced diet. I do feel kind of good after taking it, other than that I don't notice much other effects on me (good or bad). Mine arrived with about 14 months from the expiry date. It is a bit pricy, that's why I only take it every few days :)

SpectrumNeeds® is loaded with a great mix of essential vitamins and nutrients, and the flavor is surprisingly good! The flavor is comparable to a lemonade drink. I've been taking SpectrumNeeds® twice daily in the morning after breakfast and in the evening after dinner. I have noticed a better regulation of my energy levels throughout the day, with little to no energy drop offs mid-day, and the benefits seem more and more noticeable every day. Cognitive function and mood feel more balanced as well. For the reasons outlined in this review I give SpectrumNeeds® by NeuroNeeds – Comprehensive Nutritional Support my highest of recommendations! Purchase with confidence!

I'm actively using this, and it seems like a solid, all-in-one supplement. It's packed with 33 different active ingredients, including a bunch of vitamins, minerals, and other stuff, which I like for general health support. It's supposed to help with energy and metabolism, and it gives you antioxidant defense. It also mentions supporting things like neurotransmission and the nervous system. I appreciate that it's a clean formula – no artificial additives or common allergens, which is a big plus for me. It's also made in the USA which is a big requirement for me. It has a lemon flavor, which makes it easy enough to take. Like with most supplements, it's hard to tell instantly if it's hitting every single intended effect, but I'm taking it consistently for its broad support. So far so good.

The supplement is great, but the flavor is very sweet.

I am taking this, as this has exceptionally clean, natural and high-quality ingredients and targets brain and overall health, which is what I want. But I didn't read through and research this thoroughly until after I started taking it (I know, I did it backwards). Although this can probably benefit just about all kids and adults, this was designed specifically to benefit kids and teens with autism. If you are a parent of a child with autism, I especially encourage you to read this, and the full product description, and look up the clinical study on Google - more on that below. As a side note: although the study was with children and teens with autism, it makes sense to me based on how this works that adults and children with and without autism would experience many benefits from this too. As a side note for all: I've only been taking it for just over a week and will say that it is a balanced multivitamin with great things like L-carnitine, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, etc. that are missing from many multi-vitamins, that I usually have to take separately, so the convenience is great. It is easy to take, well-tolerated, and tastes great. I ordered the lemon flavor, but it is not overly lemony, it actually is orange in color and has a slight orange taste to it, it kind of reminds me of Tang. It tastes sweet (sweetened by natural monk fruit) with a slight tartness (citric acid). It disintegrates easily in just water, and I think it tastes really good just with water. But if you have kids who still might not like the flavor, I would add this to orange juice, I think the taste will blend right in. I personally would find that too sweet and would water down the orange juice, but whatever works! It is exceptionally clean for those who have allergies or might have food sensitivities - it's free from any nuts, milk, gluten, or shellfish. I throw it in my morning smoothie, and it has been a great addition, it makes taking your vitamins so easy. It's impressive that it contains 33 active ingredients - and no allergens, and nothing harmful/synthetic (so many supplements have things that can cause problems) - designed to: * Enhance Methylation * Provide antioxidant support * Remove metabolites * Promote mitochondrial metabolism * Facilitate selected neurotransmission We have all probably heard about the importance of antioxidants for years. And I'm not a doctor, but I do know a little bit about why improving mitochondrial health is so important for everyone. Just learning about methylation. But it's especially exciting that they have clinically shown that improving these specific things nutritionally has been shown clinically to benefit kids and teens with autism. ASD benefits: supported by clinical study conducted with kids and teens with autism: - This is pulled from the product description, but I think the very impressive medical credentials of the physician who designed this are important and lead me to think that this is a highly trustworthy and effective supplement: "SpectrumNeeds was designed by Dr. Boles, a Medical Geneticist with expertise in mitochondrial and other metabolic disorders. He completed medical school at UCLA, followed by a pediatric residency at Harbor-UCLA and a genetics fellowship at Yale. He is board-certified in Pediatrics, Clinical Genetics, and Clinical Biochemical Genetics." - Towards the bottom of the product description you'll see where it talks about the clinical study done with SpectrumNeeds. If you google the study: “A Mitochondrial Supplement Improves Function and Mitochondrial Activity,” published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences by Dr. Richard Frye et al. - it will lead to the PubMed summaries (found links to a short and long version) of the clinical study that was done with autistic kids and teens using this product specifically. I don't have a child with autism, but the significant social interaction improvements really stood out to me, so I wanted to highlight this for those who have loved ones with autism. It's recommended that one serving be taken twice a day and the package has clear dosage directions by weight. For example, at the smallest end, a child who weighs 22-33 lbs (10-15 kg) should take "1 heaping scoop (2.2 grams)" is a suggested 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of liquid, twice a day. The high end is 132 lbs and over (60+ kg) - 3 heaping scoops (6.6 grams) in 6 ounces of liquid, twice daily. So no guesswork, which is good. And the study used the recommended amounts per the child's weight. Taken 2x a day: For kids up to 33 lbs, this is a 2-month supply. For kids 44-88 lbs, this is a 1-month supply. For adults and kids 132+ lbs, this is about a 23-day supply. Even though I received this product at no charge, I always give honest reviews. And I try to take a lot of extra time on reviews of products that I think can really benefit people and improve the quality of their lives in some way. This is definitely one of those times. The value of this supplement in my opinion is probably highest for people/children with autism and their families, especially if it can provide similar health/quality of life improvements that were noted in the study. "Nutritional support to optimize brain function" is the tagline on the container and that to me is the main point of this. Having said that, these ingredients are important for physical health as well for everyone. And really, the two are very related. Is this cheap, especially at the adult dosages? No. But is something cheap that doesn't work a good value? Definitely not. And this does replace a multivitamin and add a lot of high-quality ingredients - at the right amounts - not found in other multivitamins. And sourcing all of that from clean allergen-free high-quality sources must be expensive. For parents of kids with autism, if this actually can help their kids and improve their quality of life, I think this would be priceless. I think if they can at all afford it, at least trying this for a month or two would be a no-brainer. This having been designed by a highly credentialed and certified specialist physician and having a quality clinical study to back it up would make me more confident that it will provide benefits to those taking it. Even for people without autism who want similar improvements. It is my hope that as more people buy this, the company will be able to scale their sourcing and production, and the cost will go down to help those who can't afford it and make this more widely available. A suggestion for Dr. Boles - maybe a simple explainer video to help people more easily understand the clinical study, why this works, and the potential benefits to them. Highly recommend! All the best to you and your families!
