Check the GFCFDIET.com website. Not only that--but if the child in question is on the autistic spectrum, this isn't what is meant by "vitamin therapy." ASD kids often have a need for serious B6 (always with magnesium) and other minerals. It is probably wise to have blood levels checked, but ASD kids doing well on vitamin B6 aren't taking the chewable supplements (life is never that easy.) The two most commonly used supplements, that were formulated for kids with autism are Kirkman's Supra Nu Thera and something called DanPlex. SNT comes in powder or tablets, DanPlex comes only in powder. I use DanPlex, blending it into my son's chocolate Darifree with meals. Neither of these should be given after about 4 p.m. to make sure there is no interference with sleep. None of the currently available chewable children's vitamins come anywhere near what our kids seem to need. Kirkman Laboratories OR Hopewell Pharmacy: welcome LL
