Manal:
My comment Ayesha is that the vitamin E is  very little. In Singapore conference, the studies showed that it is safe to take up to 600mg daily. Also my son who is 6 years takes Vitamin E 400mg alternating days.

As for calcium, i can see also it is low as you should take at least 1000mg daily (for an adult) and

and gererally magnesium should also be half the intake of calcium

Ayesha,

You'll have to take seperate suppliments for these things,this is the best option,you know imtiaz store at bahadurabad,they have quite a range of meds,they also have tokosvit (vitamin E).

Sharmin:
I have been attempting to purchase L-carnitine - I was told today that it is not approved for use in Canada - but it is approved in the US.  I was told that it was not because of safety but for other issues. 

They told me to consider citrulline instead.  Does anyone have any comments?

--- Quote ---For example, most infants with pulmonary hypertension have an increased level of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA- an inhibitor of nitric oxide production) in their blood. The easiest, most efficient method of combating this condition is to supplement with L-arginine, which overcomes ADMA's nitric oxide inhibition.

--- Quote ---Although safe, citrulline does not directly convert to nitric oxide, but instead is recycled to L-arginine (an ATP-dependent process), which then converts to nitric oxide. Ferid Murad, MD, PhD, Nobel-prize winner for his research on nitric oxide, has said the use of L-citrulline to increase nitric oxide is only marginally effective.
