The Science Behind Spero:

Spero Ingredients

By Robert Dunkley

Many supplements fall short of delivering what they claim to. Spero supplements are not a gummy bear filled with sugar. Instead, they are filled with intention, meaning they are packed with minerals and vitamins, that have a specific purpose. After decades of research we couldn’t help ourselves. We created supplements packed with ingredients designed to help you and your kids be the best version of yourself.

Below is a list of ingredients, and articles showing the research and benefit from those ingredients. We refused to compromise on quality. Everything from the amber glass bottle that ensures the ingredients will remain fresh, be protected from UV rays, and not leach toxins. To the ingredients which are the highest quality, organic, and are herbicide and pesticide free wherever applicable.

We know you will be impressed as you read though our ingredients, the benefits of those ingredients, and try Spero supplements.

Why did you choose the ingredients you put in your supplement?

Below is a list of the ingredients we have packed into each of our supplements. Every product was created specifically for children struggling with mental illness. Research has found that kids/adults with anxiety, depression, or who are on the spectrum/autism, are physically resistant to many critical vitamins and minerals.

They can absorb these vitamins and minerals, but they have something similar to a tag in their DNA which makes them resistant to absorbing them at normal levels - and if they take synthetic forms of these vitamins and minerals they might not absorb them at all. Our bodies absorb the most when they are in their natural, or organic form and paired with the correct ingredients so your body can actually absorb them.

So why don’t I just eat broccoli, spinach, and banana’s to get the same result?

First off, yes, eat those good things. The more you can fill your body with healthy foods the better, however, you would have a hard time eating enough spinach, for example to get the same concentrated dose that is in Spero supplements. These ingredients are naturally occurring and organic, whenever possible. Plus, there are so many vitamins and minerals in our supplements that it would be very difficult to eat all of those foods every day to get the result you are looking for.

As parents ourselves, we know the struggle to get kids to eat healthy. Many kids have food aversions or sensory issues around these foods making it even harder to get the nutrients needed for optimal mental health.

Bottom line:

Do yourself a solid, and read through the ingredient lists below. If you, or your kids are struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, or Balancing your mood, take a look at the benifits. This is an impressive list. Our supplements have been found to help with focus, sleep, calming, increased metabolism, and so much more. In addition to filling your body with the vital nutrients it needs to function properly! Try our Spero supplements. For best results take them consistently over a period of 30 days.

Consult a doctor before taking Spero supplements, or replacing any prescription.
