I do not buy anything without seeing that there are good results first, and then i buy a liite amount to try. My daughter is non verbal and low functioning, so she does not eat a lot of foods, and what she will eat is not the healthiest foood either. We started giving her pediasure sidekicks, or boost kid essentials because she can taste anything you add to her food and will not eat it. Now she only drinks the chocolate ones and no others, so we give her a few of these a day. We did this because the Dr said she needs more nutirients. They are exspensive, but we got a script from the doctor and submitted it to the insurance company with a letter of need and the insurance company pays for it, and a service sends them to our house. They also send us pull ups because she is not potty trained.

There's too much snake oil out there. Unless there's an independent study that verifies claims, I won't waste my time and hope.

Yes I would. But do one thing at a time and know how you plan to evaluate "working". BTW, many of these products can be bought at a fraction of the price online. My favorite is vitacoast. Make sure you read the labels to make sure it has the right strength.

I make the sacrifices necessary to free up some wiggle room in my budget to help my child. Do you have cable/satellite? Netflix? A landline? Eat out? You could easily free up a few hundred bucks simply by cutting out these luxuries. Maybe that won't get you the more expensive supplements, but it would go a long way to get the basics covered.
