Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Thalassemia
kumarritesh04:
Thanks Andy,
My Dr. Do not prescribe my any Magnesium or zinc supplement.
My serum calcium level is: 8.90
Vitamin D,25-HYDROXY, SERUM level is: 48.62
T-Score (BMD): -2.4
Z- SCORE(BMD): -1.9
Body weight: 64Kg
Hight: 162cm
BMI: 24.8
For exercise some time I used to walk in the park in the evening but not daily. This is my loop-fall. And I have to make it routine.
Is there any supplement in which calcium, magnesium vit D3 and zinc are present only in one tablet. So that it will be easy to take all supplement in one go.
Regards
Ritesh

Andy, what vit.-D level do you recomment for thal majors with osteop.? My actual level is 45 and im taking 20.000 u. once a week plus a vit. complex which contains 1.000 u. dayly.
My pharmacist suggest I should work to a level of 75. Isnt it to high? :huh
I also started Super K (vit K2), brand name LifeExtension which supports calcium being absorbed in the bones. Do you know anything about that? Is someone else taking High Vit D or/and vit.K ?

Hi Nomad
The vitamin D level 45 is inadecuate for bone and overall health.
the normal range starts from >50.
I am also taking 60000iu in 15 days of calcirol.
Erlier my dr. Prescribe me 60000i.u every weekk now after 10 weeks he increases the period to 15 days.
Also I came to know about a supplement WELL CALCIUM COMPLEX.
it contain 250mg of calcium citrate malate
150 mg of magnessium oxide
5 mg Zinc carnosine
50 mcg vitamin k2-7
3.125mcg of vitaminD3
Now my pharmasist advise to take me 2 capsule of above WELL CALCIUM COMPLEX dailly.
So Now, I can take all these nutrient only by taking single tablets
Regards

Andy Battaglia:
You can easily go as high as a level of 100 without issues. I would say an optimum goal is 80.
Nomad:
The vitamin K-komplex (K1&K2) I do take contains 2000% of the RDA.
Speaking about nutrition, I wonder am I really the only one who takes acetylcysteine (ACC)??
I mean it's one of the best antioxidants for us and it's very safe. Besides it's liver protection...
