Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Thalassemia

<< < (26/50) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
His diet is very good and the only other supplement I would suggest is 100 IU daily of natural vitamin E. Do not use synthetic vitamin E. And keep him eating healthy foods like he is now.

Hello Everyone,

Please review following supplementation I bought today after being convinced by reading this thread that I must do this. Please note that I have never used multivitamins/minerals before except once, so guide me in whatever area you may think is necessary, like pill timings - dosage - precautions etc. etc.
I never had any major complications or side effects and my spleen is intact, and eat like normals. Are these supplements to be taken life-long? About when the supplements start showing their positive effect in our bodies?

Please guide for best dosages and their timings, if I need to add anything or I may skip anything? I'll surely miss IP6 , i couldnt find it here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Andy Battaglia:
It looks like an excellent program. I tend to take all my supplements after meals, as it makes them easier to digest. It is important to work out a routine that is agreeable to you and your stomach.

Waleed:
Dear Andy are you satisfied with the calcium / magnesium ratio? Please guide me how to take those pills (dosage and timings)  because they are 'many', and I am a baby in this field  ???
