Omega-3 is found in many forms and combinations including high EFA, high EPA, and omega-3, 6, and 9. While these may be beneficial for the general population, they do not contain additional nutrients in doses and ratios necessary for unique populations of children with special nutritional requirements. The higher amounts of the two forms of vitamin E contained in speak+d are critical antioxidants working with omega-3 to support neurological health and provide essential nutrition. Experts agree that vitamin D3 in certain populations is of particular importance and benefit. In addition, vitamin K (a natural blood coagulant) is included in the formulation.
The speak® Smooth formulation includes seven nutrients in precise servings and ratios for children with special nutritional needs. Each serving of speak® contains concentrated, ultra-purified omega-3 (725 mg EPA, 275 mg DHA) in addition to rich amounts of two forms of vitamin E. Omega-3 supports cognitive function and is paired with the antioxidant vitamin E. Optimal amounts of both d-alpha and gamma tocopherols function as key antioxidants and operate along omega-3 fats to support neurological health and provide essential nutrition. Due to the theoretical blood thinning effects of omega-3 and vitamin E, vitamin K (a normal and healthy blood clotting nutrient) is also included. This precise combination of purified ingredients is delivered in a convenient creamy liquid which can be poured directly from the bottle in a 1 tablespoon serving size resulting in greater ease of use for parents and children.
