Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the metabolic effects of a comprehensive
wide-spectrum supplement for children with ASD to determine whether it physiologically
targets mitochondrial pathways known to be abnormal in children with ASD.The intervention is
a commonly used wide-spectrum nutritional supplement, which is theoretically designed to
normalize mitochondrial function. The investigators aim to determine if the supplement does
have the hypothesized effect on physiology in individuals with ASD. The investigator will
enroll up to 50 children, aged 4 to 14 years of age with confirmed ASD and mitochondrial
dysfunction, and participation will last 26 weeks.
