I use the Pure Encapsulations brand recommended by our family doctor and I also read about it in the book 'Finally Focused' which convinced me to do a hair mineral analysis on my 10-year-old boy who was underweight last summer. Turned out he was very low in zinc, magnesium, and manganese. The book recommends 15 mg of zinc per day, so I give him two Pure Encapsulations Junior Nutrients which has that dose, and the other nutrients he needs with fish oil supplements. He was 4'9'', 71 lbs in June, now he's 5'3" 85 lbs. Total transformation!
