Studies have shown that a large percentage of special needs children experience issues related to their gut and their metabolism. 

A recent article from MedicineNet explores the unique microbiomes of non-neuronormal children, identifying specific microbial patterns that may influence neurodivergent development traits and overall well-being. This study highlights the significant role that gut health plays in managing these issues.

One thing you can do to improve the quality of life for a special needs child is to provide the nutrition needed to promote optimum gut health and optimum metabolic health. 

If the gut and metabolism aren’t functioning in the optimum way a child can experience a range of health issues, including:

-       Digestion issues, such as constipation or diarrhea

-       Sleep problems – unusual sleep patterns such as unable to sleep until 2 or 3 am and not sleeping through the night

-       Inflammation

-       Getting sick easily due to a weakened immune system.

What is Optimum Gut Health?

Optimum gut health refers to a well-functioning digestive system with a balanced and diverse gut microbiome, supporting digestion, nutrient absorption, a healthy immune system, and overall well-being. 

What is Optimum Metabolism?

Metabolism is the process of all cells of the body creating energy from food.

What Powers Metabolism?

Tiny energy engines called mitochondria are in every cell of the body.  The mitochondria generate the energy the body runs on. The body cannot run without energy and the mitochondria provide that.

When the body’s metabolism is disrupted, there is less cellular energy produced by mitochondria and organ dysfunction results. Just like a car can't run without gas, a child’s body can't function at its best without optimum cellular energy.

What Happens when Mitochondria Lose Function?

Low mitochondrial energy production affects cellular function in ways that can ripple throughout the entire body. This low energy production or dysfunction is like a car running on fumes.  A car can sputter along for a while but will eventually stop working all together.

The relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and physical problems becomes apparent when examining different conditions.

As an example, mitochondrial dysfunction can drive immune system issues. Immune cells require substantial energy for activation and proliferation, and mitochondrial dysfunction compromises their ability to function effectively. Many special needs children experience immune system dysfunction, including a higher prevalence of autoimmune conditions and autoantibodies (antibodies that are produced by the body's immune system against its own tissues or organs.)

Because so many organs and processes of the body are dependent on this energy and the mitochondria that makes it, symptoms can impact many organ systems depending on which organ in the body is affected.

Good Health Depends on Optimum Gut and Mitochondrial Function

There is a range of nutrients required to maintain optimum gut, mitochondrial and metabolic health.

Due to the quality of food today, many children are deficient in the vitamins and minerals needed by the body for optimum gut, mitochondrial and metabolic health.

Camel milk contains high proportions of anti-bacterial and anti-viral substances, antioxidants and immune system boosters.  It provides a range of vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, Vitamin C, magnesium and zinc and can offer excellent nutrition for children.

TEKNON Protocol Can Support Gut and Mitochondrial Health in Children

TEKNON Protocol offers all the benefits of camel milk as well as the added benefit of natural ERDS™ (Enhanced Rapid Delivery System). ERDS is a powerful extract of Vitamin E, and Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 to enhance the bioavailability of the nutrients of the camel milk. In addition, the TEKNON Protocol contains natural ingredients to optimize metabolic health.

Children taking the TEKNON Protocol have shown improvements in:

1. Cognition

2. Social Communication

3. Digestion

4. Sleep patterns

5. Behavior.

TEKNON Protocol is a supplement that works at the cellular level to support the gut, the mitochondria and a well-functioning metabolism.
