Question 1

is it safe to use fish oil and magnesium at same time?

Accepted Answer

Interaction: Interactions between the supplements are usually not well known. I am not aware of any significant interaction between the two medications to prevent one from taking the two together.

Question 2

cause of first time seizure today? mom had covid 2 months ago, given remdesivir, history of high cholestoral, mini strokes. doctors found nothing on ct scan and bloodwork. has been taking magnesium, fish oil, red yeast rice, garlic pills, vitamins?

Accepted Answer

: MRI is more detailed it may show a new stroke when CT does not. Stroke even past or any brain injury can be a source. Get  blood work and check on mg ,calcium potassium phosphate levels. Would also stop all supplements at this time.  EEG   especially if 24-72  hours  would show location of  seizure .  Need to distinguish non epileptic from epileptic F/u /w/ neurology.

Question 3

what is the best recommended order (or times) to take the following..... protonix, zetia, magnisium (taurate,malate,& glycinate=1 pill), sulcrafate, fish oil & probiotics?  what can be taken together and what should be taken separately?

Accepted Answer

This might help: Protonix needs to be taken with an empty stomach, early in the morning (1 hour or more before breakfast) or in the night (2-4 hours after last meal, before bed). Don't take any other drug at the same time.
Zetia can be taken at any time. You need to take it at the same time every day.Sulcralfate need to be taken 1 hour before every meal.Dietary supplements have no time preference nor food interact

Question 4

can i take garlic 1000mg, b12 1000 mcg, magnesium 400mg, zinc 50 mg and fish oil 500 mg daily? should i space them out during the day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Is best to space out a bit but not essential.

Question 5

i'm in my mid 30s and take vitamins such as calcium magnesium zinc and fish oil on a daily basis. are there any potential risks? is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Supplements: I am not sure why you have decided to take these supplements. If you are a healthy person in your mid 30s, there is no reason for you to take them. It would be better to eat a balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fatty fish (such as salmon). If you are healthy, you probably can take calcium 1000-1200mg, magnesium 400-500mg, zinc 10-40mg and fish oil 1000-4000mg daily.

Question 6

safe to take my levothyroxine , prenatal vit not preggo, magnesium tablet, co q 10, fish oil and biotin on a daily all spaced out throughout the day ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These are all safe to take daily. Levothyroixine should be on empty stomach in morning. I advise prenatal, biotin and CoQ10 after breakfast, then fish oil after lunch or dinner. Magnesium (best as glycinate or taurate) best in evening at least 2 hours after dinner. Take a quality prenatal, ideally one with the L-5-MTHF form of folate (folic acid) (Pure Encapsulations and Designs For Health make great ones).

Question 7

can i take these vitamins together: fish oil and calcium/magnesium with vit d and prenatal vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Some: The fish oil and prenatals are fine together. Ask your doctor how much calcium and vitamin d you need based on your diet. It may be worth getting a vitamin d level.  If you need to take the additional calcium, it's probably best to take it apart from the prenatals, which also usually contain calcium.

Question 8

i take calcium, magnesium, hair/nails/skin vitamin, iron, and fish oil vitamin. how am i supposed to feel and how to i know they are working?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: If you have had a deficiency of one of these vitamins or minerals, your symptoms should gradually improve- hair/nails will take a while because of slow growth.
If taking for general health, it is certainly tricky to know because the goal is to not develop a condition. So, if you don't develop a condition, is it because the supplement helped or if you wouldn't have got it anyway.   Good luck!

Question 9

i have had only two dosages of depo-provera am i currently taking fish oil, b12,and magnesium pills will that help my cycle get back on track?

Accepted Answer

Time: The supplements will help lots of things but won't do much to help your periods become regular. The fewer doses you have had the sooner they should get back to normal but there is a wide variation between women in how long it takes.

Question 10

i have been taking fish oil, magnesium,b12,and iron pills together will they cause by bowel movement to change like dark green or black looking?

Accepted Answer

It's the iron: It will turn your stools black or dark green.
