Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Thalassemia

<< < (25/50) > >>

desperate:
Hi,

my son s physicians never recommended any vitamins and mineral supplementation. He is about 192 cm tall and weights only 64 kg. He eats al lot of meat, rice and noodles. occasionally he will eat beans and some veggies and salad. He has been diagnosed with lactosis intolerance and thus he is limited to the type of cheeses he may eat.  What supplementation and vitamins should he take?

Andy: 

Thank you for going into detail about which vitamins and supplements Beta Thal's should be taking.  I am a Beta Thal Minor and just within the last couple of years my fatigue has gotten really really bad and I am sick with colds, flu pneumonia or something almost 9 months out of the year and my job is now in jeopardy.  I have been to so many different doctors and finally stumbled on a Hematologist that gets it.  I have just ordered and am looking forward to seeing the results of:

Supershots Wheatgrass from Grassfactor
Vitamin B Complex; Calcium with Magnesium & D; and the Natural Vitamin E-400 IU Mixed Tocopherols
 (These are ALL FROM PURITAN)

I also just started Folic 1mg from my Hematologist.

Thanks, dcan8823

Andy Battaglia:
Hi Komal,

I would suggest taking both since Osteocare provides minerals and Centrum provides vitamins.
