What the studies actually show.
Our own reading of the published research behind the ingredients we use, written for parents and practitioners. Where a study is weak, retracted or contested, we say so.

Amino acids and autism
Autistic children often eat a narrow menu, and blood serotonin runs high in about 28%. What amino acid studies show, how B6 fits, and how to check supply.

For an anxious autistic child, CBT comes first and the supplement evidence is thin
Anxiety affects roughly one in five to two in five autistic young people, and therapy, not a supplement, is the first move. What the L-theanine, ashwagandha, magnesium and omega-3 trials...

High ammonia levels in children
What high ammonia does in a child, which signs need urgent care, how the blood test works and why it's easy to get wrong, and what the small autism studies...

How amino acids become the neurotransmitters behind mood, anxiety and stress
Tryptophan makes serotonin, tyrosine makes dopamine and B6 finishes both. What depletion studies show about mood, anxiety and stress, and where amino acids fit.
-
Mitochondria and autism
Mitochondria turn food into usable energy. A subset of autistic children show signs that this system is under strain, and a smaller group have a diagnosable mitochondrial disease. Here is...

Mold exposure symptoms
Mold exposure symptoms go beyond the airways: fatigue, brain fog, sleep, anxiety and low mood. What the studies show, what CIRS is, how to test a home and when mycotoxin...

What the attention and working-memory studies in children actually found
Omega-3 gives a small, EPA-driven bump in attention; iron and zinc help children who were low; phosphatidylserine has the cleanest small trial. Here's what the studies found, and their limits.
-
What the magnesium, ashwagandha and B-vitamin stress trials actually show
Everyday stress hits autistic children and their parents hard. Here's what the magnesium, ashwagandha, Relora and B-vitamin trials found, why we cap vitamin B6, and where the evidence stops.

Why EPA, not DHA, is the omega-3 studied for low mood, and where vitamin D fits
Depression is more common in autistic teenagers and adults than families expect. Why the omega-3 trials point to EPA over DHA, the dose they used, and where vitamin D and...

Why gut symptoms are common in autistic children, and what the trials show
Gut problems are about four times more common in autistic children. This is what the microbiome, probiotic, prebiotic and enzyme trials actually found, and where the evidence still runs thin.

Why we keep one of each active in a stack, and how to audit your own
Most supplement risk comes from stacking, not single doses. Here's the one-of-each rule we use so magnesium, B6, iron and the rest don't quietly double up, plus the audit any...
