I am giving her half tablet daily (prescribed by her hemo),so all values would be divided in half.And she is taking another multi vitamin called VIDAYLIN ,again by ABBOT LABORATORIES, It says that each 5 ml teaspoonful contains Vitamin A U.S.P 0.9 mg (3000 units) ,Vitamin D U.S.P 10 mcg (400 units), Vitamin B1 U.S.P 1.5 mg, Vitamin B2 U.S.P 1.2 mg, Vitamin B6 U.S.P 1.0 mg, Vitamin B12 U.S.P 3.0 mcg, Vitamin C U.S.P 50 mg, Nicotinamide U.S.P 10 mg.

--- Quote ---I know it's a lot of details and i am sorry to bother you with this, but doctors don't want to go in that much details,and i don't want any point to be left,and also that i am worried about her magnesium and zinc supplementation,there is another version of VIDAYLIN called VIDAYLIN-M which contains all the minerals like magnesium and zinc but it also contains iron,so obviously it's not suitable for her,when i asked my physician to name me any supplement with magnesium and zinc but not iron

--- Quote ---Ayesha,
Although i am not a doctor but i'll advise you some brands,but please check with the doctor first,
I think you should be taking,Folic acid,(Folitab or any other tab,daily),calcium +Vitamin D (Chew cal ,daily),half a tab of Abocal after starting desferal,Vitamin E (Tokosvit 1 or two tabs,daily),Zincat syrup (containing Zinc,two spoonful,daily).I am sorry i am unable to locate any brand containing megnesium.Add a multi vitamin with out iron and with out a high dose of vitmin C.For that you'll have to bug the chemist.
Along with all these my daughter is taking IP6,wheat grass and carao

--- Quote ---Dear Teresa,
I will look into this for you. Swiss vitamins are very readily available at pharmacies, grocery stores and health food stores in Canada so I just assumed that they would be in the US as well.
Has anyone else seen these vitamins on the shelf in the US?
Can you PM me and let me know which city & state you live in and I can try to find out for you? You can also print out the list of ingredients to see if there is another brand that is similar in content to this one.

--- Quote ---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.
