<< < (2/3) > >>

Dori:
I have posted about a DBA trail on leucine. Please read and comment.

Sharmin:
Little A's transfusion requirement is increasing after a year of things going really well.  I will definitely look into this. 

Thanks Andy,

Sharmin

Andy Battaglia:
Sharmin,

What's little A's current daily dose of B2 and magnesium?

Cari:
Hello everyone,

I also had a question regarding supplements I've been giving Ari.  One is a Bcomplex vitamin but it has Vit C.  I stopped giving it to him for a while because I kept hearing Vit C was not good for thal children. I've listed what I have below.  Can anyone guide me in the correct direction. 

I started him on Vitamin E and Vitamin D drops already.  These are a few things I want to start introducing to him now.  Can you please let me know if these next two multivitamins are okay to take together.  They both have some of the same ingredients though so I'm nervous to do both. 

Natures Plus Kids Greenz – with broccoli, spinach and other greens.  Chewable – 250 mg - Sharni - I started giving him these because he's really bad with veggies.  The only thing is that he has been very constipated for the past few days. 

B-Complex w/ Vit C Chewable
Vit c – 20mg
Thiamin --- 0.4 mg
Riboflavin - 0.5mg
Niacin –---- 4.6mg
B6 – ---------4mcg
Folic Acid – 200 mg
B12 –------- 4mcg
Biotin – ----150mcg
Pantothenic Acid – 2.5mg
Slevia Leaf Extract – 2mg

Dr. Greene Multivitamin Toddler Drops
Vit A ----1500 IU
Vit C-----35 mg
Vit D ----400 IU
Vit E ----5 IU
Thiamin -0.5 mg
Riboflavin –0.6 mg
Niacin—8mg
B6 -----0.4 mg
B12 ----2mcg
3mg
DHA – 20mg

I am also going to start him on the IP6 capsules - i just have to order them since the only thing i'm finding here are the tablets.  The other thing I am going to start now is the green tea extract. 

Andy Battaglia:
Cari,

The total vitamin C when taking both is only 55 mg. This is needed and should not be avoided in low doses like this. At his age, he should have no problems with up to 100 mg daily. I don't particularly like vitamin A as a supplement, but if veggies are missing form the diet, it does become more necessary. I don't see any problem taking the two together.
