Question 1

i want to know about vitamins and minerals that can help me to counter the adverse effects (diabetes risk) of aripiprazole 15 mg.  i'm doing excercise

Accepted Answer

Preventative diet.: Evidence for vitamins and minerals reducing diabetes risks evidence is not strong. A  better bet is to adapt a preventative diet to lower risks.

Question 2

forgot i had taken a prenatal vitamin and took another minutes later. is there an adverse reaction for doubling the dosage? 37w3d pregnant today.

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy brain: Not to worry, a one time extra dose of prenatal vitamins will not harm you or your child. Your body will eliminate most of the excess vitamins. Just don't make a habit of it due to potential for overdose of vitamin A and D.

Question 3

i was wondering what are the adverse effects of taking excess dosages of vitamins and calcium?

Accepted Answer

Confused question: No toxicity from water soluble vitamins. Toxicity from fat-soluble vitamins. Toxicity from calcium.

Question 4

are there any adverse effects of coming into contact with sunlight when taking vitamin b tablets?

Accepted Answer

NO: B vitamins do not have significant interactions with sunlight.  Vitamin a is a different story, as it can increase sensitivity to sunlight.

Question 5

children up to 4 years old we have to give 10 g of vitamin d3 daily, but we still give this to our 5 year old son every day. could this have adverse effects? could we better stop to give it? we also give him vitamin c supplement daily, is this ok?

Accepted Answer

: Vitamin C &amp; D are often added or already present in food in our regular diet (i.e. cereal, milk, orange juice). The Vitamin D recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for children 4-8 years old is 600 IU/day (15µg). The upper limit is 3000 IU/day. For Vitamin C the RDA is 25 mg/day, the upper limit is 650 mg/day.

Question 6

my vitamin d level is 19ng/ml the lab reference is 30-100. nih website says 20ng/ml is adequate, and above 50 has adverse effects, but md says above 30 is optimal. do i need to supplement and how much? md advised 5000 iu/day, i think it's excessive?

Accepted Answer

: Levels of 50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) or above are adequate for bone and overall health. Levels below 30 nmol/L (12 ng/mL) are too low &amp; might weaken your bones &amp; affect your health. Levels above 125 nmol/L (50 ng/mL) are too high and can cause health problems.For you, the 19 is too low and should be increased and initially increasing with 5000 IU per day for about a month, then 1000 IU per day usually.

Question 7

is it possible to take too many prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Prenatal vitamins contain a few vitamins that you can take too much off. Vitamin a is the biggest concern.  In addition, most vitamins contain iron which can make you constipated.

Question 8

can you please recommend a good prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Ideally with L5-MTHF: Most prenatals are fairly similar but there's a subtle yet important difference. About 30% of people can't convert Folic Acid to its active form, L-5-MTHF, so to be on the safe side it's best to take one with that form like Prenatal Nutrients (Pure Encapsulations) , Basic Prenatal (Thorne) or Prenatal Pro (Designs For Health). These also have biotin, which is important, &amp; natural E, not synthetic.

Question 9

safe to take conceiveeasy and prenatal vitamin together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes you may take these two supplements together.

Question 10

should i be concerned if my prenatal vitamin has vit a 4,000 iu? i need to take cheawables. i'm worried this is too high in vit a to consume for baby?

Accepted Answer

There is some: confusion about vitamin A supplements. An older (1995) study suggested that a very small number of mothers delivered babies with congenital defects if they consumed &gt;10,000 IU of vitamin A in the first 7 weeks of pregnancy. And the beta carotene/carotenoid form, mostly from diet, is best. Target 4000-5000 IU total, 3500 in your supplement. Avoid the retinol form of vitamin A in your supplement.
