This comprehensive multiple vitamin/mineral supplement contains 28 highly bioavailable essential nutrients in amounts and ratios designed to address nutritional imbalances commonly observed in children on the spectrum. Gastrointestinal function, including transit time and absorption issues, affects a significant percentage of individuals on the spectrum and contributes to altered nutritional requirements. Food elimination diets and a tendency to be highly selective eaters further narrow dietary sources of essential nutrients.

My nutritionist recommended the Vitaspectrum powdered supplement to me, as I have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) which causes malabsorption of nutrients and she suggested I would therefore benefit from taking a good quality multivitamin. As I'm hypothyroid I normally take 200 mcg selenium daily I was a bit apprehensive about the low selenium content in this, but my nutritionist reassured me that as it will be better absorbed less would be needed. I was slso apprehensive about the "natural flavour" in this, as I normally avoid all products with added "flavourings" and the ingredient list doesn't dpecify thr source of the flavourings, but my nutritionist reassured me that Klaire Labs doesn't use anything artificial in their products.
The powder is easy to use, but the citrus flavour is quite unpleasant and tastes pretty unnatural even though it's supposed to be made with natural ingredients. I was expecting a fresh lemony flavour but it's quite sweet, snd somehow slightly "dusty" and "milky" at the same time too – definitely not fresh or lemony. I need to mix the powder with lots of water in order to dilute the flavour enough to be able to drink it. I will next order the tropical flavour in the hope that the other flavour will be less artificial-like and stuffy.
