Parents and caregivers of autistic children have been saying it for decades, and now the scientific community is finally catching up with reality: gastrointestinal abnormalities are a common marker associated with the diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). And a new study recently published online in the journal, PLoS One, has specifically identified imbalanced and deficient gut flora as a major symptom, and potentially even a primary cause, of autism in many of the children diagnosed with the condition.
Researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe came to this conclusion after evaluating several groups of children between the ages of 3 and 16. One of the groups was composed of 20 healthy children, while the other was composed of 20 autistic children. Fecal samples were taken from all the children and analyzed for probiotic, or healthy bacteria, content using a testing process known as pyrosequencing, which uses a special form of synthesis to analyze DNA (Learn more about probiotics below)
Upon review of the obtained data, the team determined that children in the autistic group generally had a lower diversity of gut microbiomes compared to healthy children in the control group. The autistic children were also lacking in three specific types of gut bacteria responsible for breaking down carbohydrates and fermenting foods to make them digestible and their nutrients assimilable. These two variances in microbial composition shed new light on the physiological nature of what is otherwise a poorly understood condition.
"[We] demonstrated that autism is closely associated with a distinct gut microflora that can be characterized by reduced richness and diversity as well as by altered composition and structure of microbial community," wrote the study team, led by Dr. Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown, Ph.D. "Most notably, we also discovered that the genera Prevotella, Coprococcus, and unclassified Veillonellaceae were significantly reduced in autistic children."

nutraMetrix® Might-a-Mins® Spectrum Probiotics - Single Bottle (30 Servings)
Primary Benefits of nutraMetrix® Might-a-Mins® Spectrum Probiotics*:
Key Ingredients Found in nutraMetrix® Might-a-Mins® Spectrum Probiotics:
Probiotics have been called the functional ingredient of the decade. Clinical research has shown their positive impact on immunity, digestive health and much more. Probiotics help maintain a healthy balance of essential bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and are increasingly important in the American diet as we continue to rely on processed foods.
Streptococcus salivariusS.
salivarius colonizes the upper respiratory tract within the first few
hours of life. This is the principal bacterium in the human oral cavity
and also resides in the oropharynx and upper respiratory tract. It is
the first bacterium to form the dental plaque before being joined by
numerous other species of various genera. Currently, research is being
done to determine the role between S. salivarius and halitosis. Also,
further knowledge on this organism can help with research on maintaining
healthy teeth, especially in children. S. salivarius is a beneficial
bacterium that helps maintain healthy gums and teeth.*
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
L. rhamnosus is a strain of probiotics that aids in balancing the gastrointestinal microflora. It is one of the most intensely studied bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. One of the remarkable things about L. rhamnosus is its ability to tolerate and even thrive in the harsh acidic conditions normally found in the stomach. L. rhamnosus is believed to support immune function in healthy adults, particularly in promoting a healthy urinary tract system (acidic condition). Research has shown that L. rhamnosus can help the body maintain gastric epithelial cells, promoting the integrity of the stomach lining.*
Lactobacillus salivariusL.
salivarius resides in the mouth and small intestine. It has been shown
effective in balancing bacteria in the mouth, thus,promoting dental
health. Researchers studied animal response to L. salivarius. They
noticed the particular role of L. salivarius in supporting homeostasis
within the intestines. Therefore, L. salivarius may be related
to supporting a healthy immune response.
Lactobacillus paracaseiLike other lactobacillus species, L. paracasei is acid and bile resistant. This aids in the bacteria’s ability to travel, viably, from the mouth through the stomach and finally into the intestine. L. paracasei, along with L. rhamnosus, has the ability to survive in the acidic conditions of the stomach.
Lactobacillus plantarumL.
plantarum has been used in the process of fermenting foods for hundreds
of years. It promotes a normal digestive tract and has been shown to
promote healthy digestion. One of the most amazing talents of L.
plantarum is its ability to synthesize L-lysine, an essential amino
acid. L. plantarum supports a healthy mucosal lining.

How do the bacteria live in nutraMetrix Might-A-Mins Spectrum Probiotics? Is there any food for them inside?The
bacteria are in a state of suspended animation. They are dry enough
that all biological processes are in a resting state. Once consumed,
they rehydrate and biological processes including growth and
reproduction resume. So a food source in the tablet is not necessary.
Can nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics be taken with nutraMetrix® Might-a-Mins® Spectrum Isotonix Digestive Enzymes?nutraMetrix
Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics and nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum
Isotonix Digestive Enzymes would complement each other when they are
both taken as part of your daily nutritional supplement regimen.
However, these products should not be taken concurrently. Digestive
enzymes should be taken with a meal and Probiotics should be taken on an
empty stomach at least two hours after a meal.
Can nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics be taken with other products or children’s supplements? If so, which ones?Yes.
nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics can safely be taken with
other products, provided one follows the recommended directions and
serving size for each product. nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum

Are there any allergens in nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics?nutraMetrix
Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics contains trace amounts of milk from
the fermentation process. There are less than 2 parts per million (ppm)
of milk in each serving. This product should not cause an allergic
reaction for individuals with a lactose sensitivity, but if you have a
milk allergy, we recommend that you consult your physician before taking
it.
How long will it take before
this product begins to support my child’s digestive needs after taking
nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics?Each child is
different, depending on their gastrointestinal tract and sensitivity
also varies from child to child. It will vary for each individual. In
some cases, support will begin within a few days. In others, it may take
weeks.*
How might nutraMetrix Might-a-Mins Spectrum Probiotics affect digestion?There
are many aspects to good digestion. They include enzymes (which start
breaking down foods in the mouth and are found in the intestines), pH
conditions, bile from the gall bladder, intestinal microflora and some
digestive properties contained in the food that we eat. Diet and
supplementing your intestines with probiotics can help support
digestion. Well balanced intestinal micro flora will promote healthy
digestion.*
Can children under age 2 take Might-A-Mins Spectrum Probiotics?No, this product is recommended for ages 2 and older. There is conflicting research
as to when a child’s own probiotic microflora is determined (1 or 2 years of age). Taking this type of product before age 2 could influence this natural process. It’s better for a child to establish his/her own initial gut flora from foods and the general environment.
