Often, customers remark how Autism Coach
supplements work better than comparable products by
other manufacturers. We carefully
select products that have the highest quality ingredients and
avoid products containing potentially harmful preservatives,
additives, flowing agents, and fillers.
Sometimes, in conversation, a customer will
indicate that a supplement hasn't worked for them or their child
in a past. Unfortunately, the lack of effectiveness may not
be due to the active ingredient, but due to the inferior quality of
a cheaper raw material used by a particular
manufacturer, the potentially harmful additives that are included
either as flavor enhancers, binders, stabilizers, fillers or by-products, or that the
active ingredients themselves are diluted to save money and there
is less of them per dose than is stated on the label (which is illegal, but has
been found consistently when supplements are subjected to laboratory
tests through consumer organizations).
Liquid Carnosine Plus was carefully developed
over a two-year period. Many candidates for the raw
materials were rejected because they contained manufacturing
by-products such as high levels of heavy metals (such as arsenic and
lead), carcinogenic solvents (such as
toulene), and hidden fillers (such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein
- which by law may also contain MSG - which is considered neuro-toxic
by many in the autism community). Needless to say, these by-products
were consistently found in the cheaper, inferior versions of the raw
materials that many manufacturers use to keep costs down and
profit margins up. And needless to say, Liquid Carnosine
Plus contains only the more expensive and purest ingredients.
Also, as an aside, some products that indicate
they are soy or corn free, may be actually derived from soy or
corn, but the soy or corn proteins have been filtered to the point
that the manufacturers consider them soy or corn free.
Unfortunately, some sensitive individuals within the autism
spectrum may still react to these ingredients. For example,
Xanthan gum, commonly used as a binder in many liquid supplements
claiming to be free of corn, actually is a corn derivative.
Vitamin E is virtually always derived from soy.
