How should I begin supplementing with SpeechNutrients Speak+D Smooth?
If your child is not currently taking omega-3 fish oil, start with ½ a tablespoon (7.5 mL) daily. After 2 weeks, increase serving to 1 tablespoon (15 mL) daily. Continue to increase servings by ½ a tablespoon every 2 weeks until reaching a possible dosage of 3 tablespoons daily divided throughout the day (eg. with meals.) Best taken with fat containing meal or snack.
It is recommended to administer Speak+D Smooth on a daily basis for a minimum of a 4 month period to adequately determine potential benefits.
Consuming 1 tablespoon, 2 to 3 times per day is suggested for maximum effectiveness. Toddlers and smaller children may see the most benefits with 1-2 tablespoons daily while older and larger children may see the most benefits with 2-3 tablespoons daily. Regular supplementation throughout the day is optimal.

Speak+D Smooth may be taken on its own, or it can be blended with non-heated foods (e.g., pudding, yogurt) or liquids for consumption.
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 1 Tbsp of speak Smooth provides 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."Speak+D Smooth is not an overnight cure, but combined with other dietary supplements and therapy, I have seen my non-verbal son making sounds and words more."
