SpectrumNeeds® and EnergyNeeds® are both formulated to provide comprehensive mitochondrial, nutritional, antioxidant, immune, and neurodevelopmental support, however, there are subtle differences in the “form factor” and “dosing strategies”.

Form Factor –

a.)   SpectrumNeeds® is delivered in a “powder mix” form factor.  The two tasty flavor options, Lemon and Berry, are great options for individuals who cannot swallow capsules or prefer to drink (or mix with food) their mitochondrial cocktail.

b.)   EnergyNeeds® is delivered in a “capsule” form factor.  This is a great delivery option for individuals who prefer to swallow capsules (or open and mix with food) their mitochondrial cocktail.

Dosing Strategies –

a.)   SpectrumNeeds® is formulated as a broad-spectrum micronutrient matrix (33 active ingredients) designed especially for children and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders, integrating higher doses of specific ingredients essential for neuro-developmental growth including Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Folate (as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and calcium folinate), Vitamin B12, Pantothenic acid, Magnesium, L-Arginine, Creatine, Coenzyme Q10, and Alpha ketoglutaric acid.

b.)   In contrast, EnergyNeeds® comprises a higher-potency formulation (40 active ingredients) with increased dosing of key mitochondrial-support nutrients including L-carnitine, Acetyl L-carnitine, Vitamin D, Vitamin E , Vitamin A, Vitamin K2, Taurine, Glycine.

Conclusion -

Thus, when comparing the two, SpectrumNeeds® may be more appropriate for neurodevelopment‐focused support in children/adolescents, whereas EnergyNeeds® may present a more robust mitochondrial and immune-support modality for older individuals or those with functional/mitochondrial “cocktail” needs.

Both products are free of gluten, casein/milk, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, egg, fish and shellfish. There are no ingredients at dosages considered to be toxic.
