Biomedical Autism Treatment – Respen-A blended chord, Inositol and Autism part 1
The new formulation of Respen-A called Respen-A blended chord has one additional ingredient from the original form. And the usage of inositol with this formulation is showing additional promise.
This is a 2 part series on Respen-A blended chord and the use of inositol. The new version of Respen-A is called Respen-A blended chord and there has been a lot of discussion about it lately. The original Respen-A formulation has been changed so that it now contains two different ingredients. The first ingredient is the Reserpine which has always been in the Respen-A. That helps by boosting or bolstering the Monoamine Oxidase A activity. Then there is also an active metabolite which serves to inhibit and neutralize the excess Monoamine Oxidase B activity which can occur and then result in an imbalance in serotonin, etc.
One thing that has been suggested in the past to help release serotonin that is stored is to introduce a small amount of gluten into the diet. Now for the Autism community, the gluten free diet has been a very safe remedy for quite a long time with a tremendous amount of children showing benefit from both a gluten and casein free diet. So, for some children, they still cannot reintroduce gluten into their diet and so this is not a viable option.
But rather than introducing gluten, it has been found that adding in a supplement called inositol can be very helpful with Respen-A and can be used in gluten's place. So the new recommendation is now to use a little bit of inositol in the morning with the Respen-A. We have found that dosing with 300, 350 mg, maybe even up to 400 or 500 mg of inositol in the morning can be helpful. Of course each child is individual but the average of 500 mg of inositol seems to be effective at helping that steady state release of serotonin which is acted upon by the Monoamine Oxidase A. That allows for the conversion of serotonin into its active aldehyde form and gives us those physiological effects that we are looking for with Respen-A like better awareness, focusing, attention, language development, kids being more social, etc. In the second part to this series we will talk more about inositol and its role with Respen-A.
