NEURAL BALANCE Anandanol with Proprietary Digestive Enzyme Blend (Capsules, 2 Pack)

This has been the best supplement for our family. We have two sons with ASD, and have worked a lot with finding natural things to help them. Our oldest had major aggression, 0 focus, always hyper, and sensory processing struggles that caused him many meltdowns and angry outbursts toward everyone every day and bedtime was always a fight. We'd already worked on a lot with diet, lifestyle, and balancing deficiencies then our youngest was born. He was our severe son from birth. Even as a baby we couldn't do oil or soap or he'd scream terribly, too many people would have him screaming, anyone else holding him - screaming, noise - screaming, darkness -screaming - it was constant. He was- non-verbal, severe anxiety, only eye contact with my and my husband (sometimes), screamed if ever more the 3ppl were in a room, could not handle any type of family gathering ( I spent them in the quietest room we could find and even still meltdowns), everything was literally meltdowns day and night, and as he got bigger he was injuring himself and me every time. He woke every 30minute to an hr since birth and would scream for 20 minutes each time, that slowly turned into up for 3-4hrs screaming every night on top of the other wakings. My husband set up a bed in his home office so he could sleep. We started working with supplements with our Dr. in hopes to find something to help at 12mo as none of us wanted to do medications that young. Nothing did. He was put in an early intervention program at 18mo and failed every part of his eval as he sat on my lap and screamed for 4hrs, nothing progressed even with therapies (which were done at our house as he couldn't handle anywhere else), at age 2 our doctor said autism (which we knew) and set us for the full eval work up for a diagnosis. We started bloodwork and testing to find if there were any underlying issues and working with protocols to balance those that were off.....still no relief, and savings gone. I spent my nights and days crying as no matter what were were doing nothing was helping and our marriage was stressed non-stop, we couldn't do anything outside of our house, and we were all miserable. Then my mom told me about Neural Balance after being at a conference, and learning about it. So I called and spoke with the company to see dosage and answer my other questions. We started with 3 scoops as I was desperate and wanted it in their systems quick to know if it would help at all. At week 3 the only thing we saw was our oldest was a bit more calm and his bed routine was shortening, but nothing for our younger son. I called and spoke with the company again. They encouraged me to give it more time as typically a month is the time frame for it to get really into the system, I said okay and fully knew it wasn't going to help, we'd been through this a million times before. At the 4 wk point our youngest slept completely through the night - not even a peep - 12 HOURS straight!!! I thought he died when I woke up to the son having slept all night. I couldn't believe it. Within that week our son came up to my husband "Daddy look big green ball let's go play catch" and took him to the back door. I came home to find them playing and laughing together outside. We were both crying. At our 5wk phone update with the company they were just as ecstatic with the changes we were seeing. Our son started to hit goals in therapy that he tested out of the need for it within the 4 weeks, on his last day he ran up and gave his therapist a giant hug and kiss (we bawled!) Bedtime for both was 30 minutes of cuddling and they were out, if he woke he would fuss then roll back over on his own and be back to sleep in a minute or two. He started to ask to go in the car. Started hugging and loving on everyone everywhere. Talking non-stop. And meltdowns were the typical 5-10min toddler meltdown and he'd work himself out and go. Our oldest aggression went down every day till it was pretty rare to have an outburst, his meltdowns did the same and slowly turned to the typical 5yr old where he'd get upset but work through in a minute or two, he finally could focus on what he was doing, remembering what we and he said, and sensory wise he was able to handle being wet, different foods, noise, and he was gaining in social cues too which were a big struggle for him prior too. Our Doctor was in shock at the appointment we had with him at the 8wk point on Neural Balance. "Who is this kid?!" Our guy was chatting, high fiving, and sharing his snacks (where past appointments were him standing screaming in the corner as we tried to talk as fast as possible and get out). It was night and day the difference it has made for us, like literally taking a wall down and our son coming out free as could be. After 3 months we took the dose down to 2 scoops and that's been great since. I started taking for myself and it's been so great for just helping me juggle our days, and my sleep it so much deeper, and my periods are SO much lighter and 0 PMS!! I rave about it to everyone!

I rarely write reviews, but I am taking the time to do so because i really value this product. It's not a complete miracle but let me tell you, if you stick with it, it will certainly add to your tool set of managing your child's (or your) temperament. Before i give my 2-year-old any type of supplement, i give it to myself in a large dose. Immediately i felt a sense of calm and ease, but at the same time completely mentally clear. It took about 4 weeks for my daughter to truly get adjusted to it. At first, it did rile her up a bit, but i stuck with it because of all of the amazing reviews. It's a game changer! She is less irritable, has less fits and also if she does get upset, it doesn't last as long. Here is the funny thing, I started taking it myself in high doses (don't come for me) and I AM SO MUCH MORE AT EASE! Not a placebo, an actual clarity and peace. So, while she is less on edge, and I am less on edge we are truly starting to create an even more intimate bond! I hope this never, ever goes out of stock. I do wish the price was a little more affordable, but I will continue to purchase forever!

I ordered the NB for my son who is four years old on February 4. He was diagnosed a year ago with Autism Moderate to Severe. He also was diagnosed with significant development delays, ADHD, and with Sensory Processing Disorder. Every child is different and you have to learn how much of the product for each child. There is a very supportive Facebook page with other parents who have purchased this product as well. The first time I gave my son was a full scoop in excitement to be the mom who posts the life changing review. The next morning he woke up we had a doctor appointment two hours away. When we arrived his pull up was soaked. Dripping to be exact. I posted to the group and was assured by the makers and other parents that it was his body adjusting to the enzemzes. I however was not going to complain because for my son his diapers are always dry and that isn't a good thing. So I adjusted the dose down to a fourth a scoop at bed time. I wish I could give it to him twice daily but we have an hour drive to school in the AM and he refuses to eat or drink until he gets to school. About two weeks later I adjusted to half a scoop. Then last week up for three fourths of a scoop. Sorry for bouncing back and forth, but want to be detail as possible. The wetting eased up to normal wetting now. I did notice at first hypertension when given, however other parents educated me on yeast. I Google about it and read up on it. I started giving him a stronger probiotic and also Grape seed extract as well. Per another parents reference I also started DMG.I cannot begin to describe the difference in a month that I have seen! It isn't the miracle my son can talk suddenly results, but I wish he could take it twice daily and who knows! However he has come so far in this month! HE IS STARTING TO POINT! He a few times said at the right times.... MAMA NO NO (when I was fussing), Daddy go night night , Move, Away......!!!!!! Last night he even for the first time brought me his wipes to change his bottom! He's appetite is bigger. He's eating more. Less meltdowns. Calmer! I could go on and on! Yes we still have out tough days, but most of the days lately are pretty bright for my little one! I will continue to monitor him and use this product along with his other supplements. I can't be happier for finding NB!!!

Seen no results, does not nothing. It just an expensive placebo.
