Hi Everyone,

I am just wondering if anyone has used Nourishlife Speak Supplements to assist with non verbal autism... Would love to hear some feedback from parents that have actually used them?

My son has only just turned 3 and he has nonverbal autism, he makes heaps of sounds but has no words. I am wondering if these supplements are worth trying. I feel pretty desperate any feedback would be great!

Thanks,
Jen

Members shared varied experiences with supplements and essential oils aimed at supporting speech development in children with nonverbal autism, with some reporting progress using Young Living essential oils like Vetiver, Brain Power, and Clarity, while others found success with Kirkman supplements such as B12, DMG, and carnosine, or NourishLife Speak nutrients. Several members emphasized practical strategies including probiotics, magnesium, zinc, and DHA fish oils, with one member describing a detailed daily routine of opening capsules and mixing them with water in a syringe, which after persistence became part of her child's accepted routine and led to more words and better behavior. A recurring theme was that every child responds differently to supplements, so parents were encouraged to try one product at a time under medical guidance, monitor individual responses carefully, and remain patient through the trial-and-error process of finding what works best for their unique child.

Norish speech, b12 carnosine and dmg all comes in liquid form. Dmg stand for
Dimethylglycine. You can google them all of these. Some children have good results with
Speech, focus. Each child is diferent. My dr recommend me to use one at a time to see how my child respond.

I also have plenty other oils that I could recommend. Just let me know if you're interested.

I'm using quite a bit at this point. Over the last several months I've created a stock pile. Clarity is the oil that I used when Benjamin said his first approximation of the word 'ball'. The top 5 oils that I would recommend are:
Peace and Calming ( which should be alternated weekly with Grounding)
Sacred frankincense
Brain Power
Vetiver
Clarity

There are several other oils I alternate weekly so they don't grow immune to them for lack of better words. The oils are expensive, but In my experience are completely worth it. The first 5 oils I listed would be my go to'S to get started. The following oils I have accumulated over the past 6 months and highly recommend them as well.
Sara
Frankincense
Melissa
Valor I
Valor II
Peace and Calming II
Grounding
Genyus
Thieves
Including the oils I give the boys 2 oz. of NingXia Red a day for inflammation. I highly recommend that as well. We started this regime 3 weeks ago and Jacob has started using a couple a verbs recently.
I'm not sure if your kiddo has sleep issues like mine DID but since I started Lavendar and Cedarwood and peace and calming on their body and the diffuser every night, my children sleep for 10-12 hours every night with no nap during the day. These oils have far exceeded my expectations and I can't wait for the day Jacob and Benjamin can tell me which oils they prefer. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope I answered your question.

Hi Jen! I have not used Nourish life speaks supplements, but I do use Young Living essential oils. My sons are 3 1/2 and since starting the oils 6 months ago their language has taken off. Jacob has started using 3 word sentences and Benjamin uses 1-2 words at a time. In the last 6 months they have become great at labeling things. We are currently working on verbs. Benjamin said his first word immediately after I tried the oils for the first time. He said 'ba' for ball. His speech therapist and I were amazed. I'd highly recommend Young Living oils for a nonverbal kiddo. Their is plenty of info online about them. Best wishes!
