Andy,
Is synthetic version of Vit E harmful or just not as good as Vit E from natural source?
Thanks,
SF
Andy Battaglia:
My doctor told me not to take more than 100 IU of synthetic E a day. (I don't take it anyway. I've always taken natural). Synthetic E is a by-product of the camera film making process. I seriously doubt its value and there are negatives with higher doses. Many thals take up to 1000 IU daily of vitamin E. Since you're in the US, I would highly recommend Puritan.com as a source of good quality natural vitamins at good prices.

I would never wanna take that nasty thing... I'm glad I asked the question and you replied in this detail... Thank you so much, Andy! I have been looking at the local stores for good multivit, but now, I think I'm gonna give up and Puritan is the way to go, I now believe!
Once again,

Umair,
Those posts are old,i am not giving Lil Z Abocal anymore,just make this thread about what everyone is taking right now,Like right now i am giving Lil Z ,
Osteocare = once daily
Carao = 4 tea spoons daily
Neurobion = Once in a couple of days (Vitamin B1 100 mg,B6 200 mg,B12 200 mcg)
Vidaylin = One Tea spoon,(a multi vitamin for kids,but not all vitamins are in enough quantity)
Vitamin E = 400 IU daily (in natural form)
Zinc Syrup = One teaspoon daily contains 10 mg zinc
IP6 = Three caps daily
Folic acid = 10 mg daily
I hope i am not missing anything,i think that would be better to know what everyone is taking right now,so others would be able to compare if they are missing anything.
Zaini.

Commenting on your post,
1- Osteocare whether chewable or syrup should be given twice a day
2- My hema told me to give the 400mg of vitamin E alternating days (cause it is already a big dose for children)
3- Though the extra folic is washed out of the body through urine, it is enough to take a 5mg dose
