Dori , do you take vitamin K along with vitamin D? It's a good booster for bone metabolism.

No, I do not. Vot K is in the cheese I eat dialy. What is a natural source of vit E? How much is recommend?
Andy Battaglia:
Supplements with both vitamin D and vitamin K are easy to find. I suggest a supplement for vitamin E. It's found in many foods, but not in the quantity needed when fighting oxidation. I suggest 400 Iu daily. The product will be labeled d-alpha tocopherol. not dl, as dl is the synthetic form which should not be used.
jsbhavsar:
How much of Vit B6 will be enough per day? Will too much of Vit B6 cause nerve damage in beta thal patients?
Manal:
Hi jsbhavsar
If you are not having deficiency in vitamin B6, the amount found in a good multivitamin will be enough for you.
Generally speaking you shouldn't be deficient or exceeding the normal levels in any vitamin or mineral as each case has its drawbacks
