Zaini:
Dore,

This B-Complex seems good to me and once in a day is enough i think,be sure not to take it on empty stomach,as for vitamin D,have you ever tested your levels? You better get it tested,other wise i think 1000 IU would be enough,unless you go out in sun light a lot.

hope this helps,

Zaini.

Dori:
I need more help to create a good supplement plan. My weight is <45kg. If thats help.
Q1: Which supplements should I take?
Q2: How much should I take?

Prets:
Dore,

My weight is also < 45 kgs.

One thing I came to know is that I dont handle adult supplements very well. For a long time we could not understand why any adult medicines, including antibiotics made me even more sick, or I would react to it, like allergies. Like everytime i had mild fever and i took paracetamol to bring it down, i would get very bad chills and followed by very high fever.

Then a few doctors started giving me medicines meant for babies and little kids. And it worked better and faster.

The supplements you take should be also calculated based on your body weight if possible, IF your doctor says its ok to do that.

The other option is to start with a low dose and gradually work it up to the dosages you need. That gives time to the body to adjust and use it all better.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your question.  :scratch But I wanted to share this with you, because of your low weight.

Dori:
You did answer questions Preety. I am glad I am not the only one. People do judge very soon that I have ana, but I always have been so small. That's who I am or who we are.  :hugfriend

I saw I posted twice the same message within a short time without remember it! The Q is stil valid. All my vitamin boxes will be empty soon and I should make a new plan. I find a good new shop so that's not the problem anymore. I just couldnt choose last time and need a little extra help.
