How speak™ Works
Formulated and patented by a pediatrician and noted researcher, the speak™ formulation includes seven nutrients in servings and ratios determined to be most effective. SpeechNutrients speak™
contains concentrated, ultra-purified omega-3 in addition to
efficacious amounts of two forms of vitamin E. Omega-3 supports a
healthy inflammation response while working synergistically with the
antioxidant vitamin E to reduce oxidative stress. Optimal amounts of
both d-alpha and gamma tocopherols function as key antioxidants and
operate with omega-3 fats to support neurological health and provide
essential nutrition. Due to the theoretical blood thinning effects of
omega-3 and vitamin E, vitamin K (a normal and healthy blood clotting
nutrient) is also included. This precise combination of pharmaceutical
grade ingredients is delivered in a convenient 2-capsule serving
resulting in greater ease of use for parents and children.

How should I begin supplementing with SpeechNutrients
speak™?
If your child is not currently taking omega-3 fish oil or vitamin E supplements: Start with 1 capsule of SpeechNutrients speak™ daily.
After 2 weeks increase the serving to 2 capsules daily continuing to
increase in 2 week increments until reaching a possible dosage of 6
capsules per day continuing at that dosage going forward. If you
believe that your child will benefit from additional supplementation
beyond 4 capsules, check with your healthcare provider (e.g.: Medical
Doctor, Registered Dietitian, Certified Clinical Nutritionist,
Naturopathic Doctor, Doctor of Osteopathy).
Suggested serving plan for those not current taking fish oil or vitamin E supplements:
If your child is already taking individual fish oil and vitamin E supplements: First
determine the current serving amount of the active omega-3 (EPA and
DHA) and vitamin E (if any) that your child is receiving with the
existing supplement* (usually listed clearly on the “Supplement Facts”
panel. Be sure to determine the amount per serving or per capsule). This
will provide you a baseline from which to start for an equivalent
serving. Some families administer both “High EFA” and “High EPA”
supplements. Shown below is a chart illustrating the amounts of each
ingredient and how 2 capsules of speak provide the essential equivalent
to three capsules of the other supplements plus additional nutrients in
SpeechNutrients speak™ provide added
benefits and nutrient balance, not found in other omega-3 supplements.
