Benefits of Micronutrients for Autism


We came across this topic some time back and thought it would be good inspiration for a NutriScape.NET article written from the dietitian’s point of view. Here are some quick snippets you can follow.


To date, three RCTs have been conducted. One showed improvement in sleep and gastrointestinal problem compared to the placebo. Another found reductions in tantrums and hyperactivity, as well as improving receptive language and overall functioning compared to placebo. And the third study found significantly greater improvement in the symptoms of autism for the treatment group, including social responsiveness, sensory profile, non-verbal IQ, and aberrant behavior. Both autism and ADHD can present with significant aggression. So what does the research say about reducing this behavior? In fact,a lot. The benefit of using nutrients to reduce anti-social behaviors, has actually been known for decades. It’s astonishing that this knowledge isn’t routinely implemented in prisons, where violence is a huge problem. Internationally, there have been case studies, open-label studies, multiple

RCTs showing that micronutrients can successfully reduce aggression and violent incidents acrossa range of populations, from delinquent children to incarcerated adults. The earliest controlled trialswere over 20 years ago, where children given a broad array of minerals and vitamins,resulted in a 28 percent greater reduction in rural violations, compared to those on placebo.
