Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)

Why is the Super Folinic Acid bottle half empty?

Don’t you hate the "potato chip bag effect?" So do we! When you open the Super Folinic Acid bottle, you may notice there’s a lot of extra space. It makes many of us feel like we’ve been ripped off. Just like when we open a bag of potato chips. Fear not! Our goal is to make the highest quality supplements for your child. When making supplements for kids, there’s things we have to consider:

They’re picky eaters. Keeping dose size small helps them consume it all.
We could add fillers to make the bottle more full, but then the kids have to take a larger dose, perhaps taking a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon. In addition, we don’t want to use fillers. We want our supplements to be pure active ingredients. Keeping the supplement as a highly concentrated powder, allows dose size to be a small volume, so it’s more likely your child will take it.

Most kids don’t swallow capsules. Having a supplement as a powder helps.
Capsules consume a lot of space in a bottle, especially the dead space between caps. If you opened every capsule in a different vitamin bottle, and poured the powder into the bottle, it’s easy to see how concentrated that powder can be.

Bottle size and cost.
We need to use a bottle of a certain size so the print is legible on the label. With too tiny of a bottle, you can't read the ingredients. If we added more product to make the bottle fuller, it would cost double or ...triple! So, there's a fine line of bottle size, cost, and readability of the label.

We hope this explains why our Super Folinic Acid has the "Potato Chip Bag Effect." We want to make vitamins that are a concentrated small dose, so it's easier for children to take. We don't want to use fillers. We want the bottle readable. We want the supplements to be affordable. So, to achieve all of this, the downside is a half empty bottle.

Please make sure that the bottle should contain the amount listed on the label.
For instance: Super Folinic Acid High-Dose should contain 5mg x 120 servings, that’s 600 mg total. If each dose is 1/8 tsp, and there are 120 servings, there should be 15 tsp in the bottle

Which supplement should I give to my child?

How do I give these supplements to my child?

Mix the powders into any food or drink. While the powders are designed to have as little flavor as possible, children have sensitive palates. Try different food items to disguise the supplements. Foods like applesauce, oatmeal, yogurt, or juice. Some parents will mix them into homemade popsicles or Jello in ice-cube trays. All of these supplements can be mixed with each other. They should not be mixed with calcium supplements, as this can reduce absorption.

How soon will I see improvements?

This is different for everyone. We believe our products are extremely effective, and believe that if take one bottle as directed, you should see some level of change by the time you finish that bottle. If you don’t, we recommend trying a different product in our line.

Are these supplements FDA approved?

Yes. All Spectrum Awakening products are FDA approved. The FDA has strict regulation on supplements. They require them to match label claim, which means what is on the label, is what is in the bottle. They require them to be safe and free of heavy metals and other substances. The FDA also regulates that natural supplements cannot claim to treat any medical condition. We abide by that law by not claiming that our supplements treat Autism or ADHD. However, our supplements are designed to support normal developmental and behavioral growth in our children, by giving their brains the nutrition they need to function correctly.

My child seems tired after taking these supplements. Can they cause fatigue?

Some children respond differently to supplements. If any supplement is causing sleepiness, give that supplement before bed.

Can I schedule an appointment with Dr. Skowron?

Yes! Dr. Skowron consults with families via Zoom, helping them understand how to help their child. He will order lab tests, interpret labs you already have, and create treatment plans to move your child closer to conversational speech, happy behaviors, and eventual independence. Tele-medicine appointments are available here.
