DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Multi-Vitamin/Mineral Supplement

A broad-spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement designed for children and adults with autism

OTHER

Liquid Placebo

The placebo was formulated to look and taste like the intervention supplement. A small amount of beta-carotene was used for coloring. Natural cherry, citric acid, and a proprietary blend of natural flavors were used for flavoring to create a vitamin-like after-taste. Sucralose was used as a sweetener and the same preservatives were included (potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate).
