Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Thalassemia
Canadian_Family:
Hi Zaini,
I noticed you are trying to determine what kind of vitamin is best for Zainab. We use Kindervital which is derived from natural sources and is iron free and source of Calcium and vitamin D. The contents have very minimum vitamin C only to aid in absorption of calcium and vitamin D. This product is specially designed with children in mind and geared towards better bone health and improved immune system. I am providing the link below for you.

Thanx Andy ,
For your concern,i've noticed a weird thing though, when i read that post of yours about Vitamin C and came to know that i was overdosing it,i stopped Abocal right away,it's been two days i'd stopped it and in these last two days she hasn't complained of pain in her heels,i don't know if it's related because calcium and vitamin D are supposed to help bones,may be i am jumping to conclusions too early,but this is what i've noticed.I am in search of another calcium supplement with vitamin D.
Hi Canadian Family,
Thanx for the information,right now i am searching for any brand that is locally available,i am trying to reach my cousin who is a family medicine resident,but i think she is a bit busy right now,i hope i'll be able to catch her in a day or two.
Thanx Again,
ZAINI.

As I mentioned in my last post, it is very possible the heel pain is not related to any of this. Might possibly be a minor injury that has healed now.

Hi Andy
Hassan`s doc had prescribed mixavit. Since his dose was 2.5ml there was exactly 25mg of vit-c, it had more of B- vitamins. But she asked me to give it for a month and then stop for a month and continue henceforth. It is 10 days since I have stopped it and Hassan has not been eating well for the past week. I keep wondering if I should start giving him his multivitamins again or follow the doc`s order.
