Anyone try supplementing Piracetam?

Nomad:
Andy, thanks for answering. So would you recommend one of those,or both, for Thalassaemics with almost normal ferritin (ca. 900) and a mix between a mild depression and/ or chronic fatigue syndrome?

Andy Battaglia:
I would say that either or both are worth trying. My only hesitance comes in wanting to not recommend too many supplements at once. For myself, I have used a program of trying things out to see what I want to stick with long term. That is based on what I feel makes the most difference for me.

Nomad:
Right, I agree with that. Someone has to find out a individual supplementation. The problem many Thalassaemics face in Germany is that most  of the doctors don't support the idea. Instead of encouraging them to try out, they tell them things like " if you eat enough fruits you don't need vitamins or antioxidants ". Like do your transfusion and chelation and that's it. Even with vitamin D we have big issues, most don't prescribe more than 1000 u daily like they use to do years ago...

Andy Battaglia:
With today's foods, it's almost impossible for a non-thal to get adequate nutrition from diet, alone. For thals, it has never been possible. The added demand for nutrients cannot possibly be met by diet alone.
