This is by no means complete or all that's out there..just a few off the top of head and I'll try to ad more later. Also this is NOT advise just to pass on what some vitamins or minerals or amino acids are for and why some people choose to use them. PLEASE seek care in giving your child any supplement. Many of these work better in a combined fashion, and are sold as such. Hope this helps, I'll try to ad more as the week goes on and I have more time...Cheryl :)
