This comprehensive multiple vitamin/ mineral supplement contains 23 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. VitaSpectrum^® addresses these inadequacies by supplying balanced amounts of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements in forms that are typically well tolerated by those on the spectrum. Bioactive forms of folate, B₁₂, and B₆ are included along with naturally sourced carotenes, vitamin E, and D for optimal nutrient absorption and utilization. Iron and copper, often contraindicated in those on the spectrum, are excluded. VitaSpectrum^® is free of common allergens, including milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, and wheat/ gluten. No starch, maltodextrin, stearates, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, or preservatives are used. VitaSpectrum^® formulas comply with Gluten-Free/Casein-Free (GFCF) diets. For maximum tolerance and versatility as a foundational nutritional program, herbal ingredients are avoided. The pleasant, natural berry-pomegranate, citrus and tropical flavored powder formulas dissolve easily in liquids or can be mixed in foods. A convenient measuring scoop is provided for accurate measurement.

This moderate potency multiple vitamin/mineral/trace element supplement is provided in just 2 tablets or capsules daily, yet provides significant amounts of essential nutrients in well-utilized forms. It is ideal as a convenient daily insurance formula and a good alternative for those who cannot or are reluctant to take the recommended 6 daily tablets or capsules of our more comprehensive MultiThera^® formulas. VitaPrime^® utilizes similar nutrient sources as MultiThera^® formulas to maintain efficient bioavailability, but contains reduced amounts of calcium and magnesium and several other nutrients. Activated forms of folate and vitamin B₁₂ are included along with efficiently utilized mineral forms and fat-soluble vitamins. Compared to common, over-the-counter multivitamin products delivered in 1 tablet daily, VitaPrime^® offers enhanced antioxidant protection, broader trace element nutrition, and augmented B vitamin support. This core foundation of essential nutrients thus provides an extra measure of nutritional protection that can be recommended for routine daily use.

Vitamin D is inadequate in many individuals and daily need appears to be higher than previously thought. The role of vitamin D in calcium metabolism and bone health is well known. However, it has many other important physiologic roles that are not as well appreciated. Vitamin D receptors are widely distributed in the body, including colon, prostate, breast and ovary, where it acts to inhibit the excessive growth of body cells and tissues and helps cells mature normally. Adequate amounts of vitamin D, an essential, fat-soluble vitamin, come from consistent exposure to sunshine and are difficult to obtain from dietary sources. Postmenopausal women, older individuals, and those with malabsorption, limited sun exposure, or certain illnesses may need higher intakes of vitamin D. Vitamin D₃, the naturally occurring form, is supplied in high-potency amounts for those needing to conveniently augment dietary intake.

Vitamin C supports immune system function and tissue repair, acts as a powerful antioxidant protecting cells from free radical damage, and is important for production of collagen and other connective tissues. This exceptionally pure, ultra-fine unbuffered vitamin C powder contains no added ingredients.

Nutritional deficits are common in individuals pre- and post-bariatric surgery. Nutrient inadequacies can compromise successful postoperative outcomes. After weight loss surgery, individuals have unique lifetime nutritional needs as a result of altering the gastrointestinal system and need to be supplemented with vitamins and minerals they can no longer readily absorb in the amounts needed to stay healthy. VitalActiv^® is formulated to provide comprehensive micronutrient support after bariatric surgery. It contains well-tolerated, highly bioavailable nutrient forms to maximize absorption and benefit.

Vital-Plex^® is a long-standing favorite of Klaire clinicians in situations where undesirable microorganisms invade and multiply in the bowel.^† It includes Bifidobacterium lactis blended with Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, and B. bifidum. B. lactis is an important colonizing microorganism that produces large amounts of formate which favors beneficial microbiota. It has profound effects on the immune system enhancing white blood cell activities as well as increasing numbers of total, helper, and activated T cells. It has activity against rotavirus, a significant cause of diarrhea in infants and young children and has been found to reduce the incidence of diarrhea in child daycare centers. The probiotic species in Vital-Plex^® synergistically produce butyrate, acetate, lactate, and formate, lowering the pH of intestinal contents and inhibiting the growth of undesirable bacteria and yeast. Vital-Plex^® probiotics produce B vitamins and enhance nutrient and mineral absorption. Together they stimulate gastrointestinal and systemic immune system function and provide support for people with occasional diarrhea.
