Dosage Guidelines for Herbs and Nutritional Supplements
Note that all the amounts in this table are therapeutic doses. That is, they do not necessarily represent the amounts of these nutrients that your child needs on a daily basis, but rather increased amounts that may be helpful for certain conditions when taken for limited periods of time. Also, some dosages are given in international units (IU); others in milligrams (mg); and still others in micrograms (mcg, the equivalent of 1/1000 of a milligram).

NUTRITION 101 FOR PARENTS by The Block Center
There has been much research on the effects of nutrients on behavior and attention. The following are the ones I find most beneficial for my patients. Remember, just because a nutrient is good for you, more of it is not necessarily better. While most nutrients have no known toxicity or side effects, some do have side effects in large doses. Do not exceed recommended doses. Locate a physician in your area who knows about nutrition and check with that physician before taking anything. Here is a list of specific nutrients and supportive literature.
