Just like many things in life: no guarantees , some like them and others feel they are a waste of money. Some suppliers offer a money back guarantee if you find it unhelpful 

This one has the top rating on Amazon 97% give 5 stars even though not the best selling

There are not any good trials showing benefits in autism and those done were on children, but the Amazon reviews you posted seem very happy with that product

Thank you for taking the time to provide those links Dave, I am a scientific sort so I like the research references - as you say we can't rely on vendors to offer impartial reports.
