Question 1

what are good vitamins to help joints & energy levels?

Accepted Answer

Some: For joints - glucosamine 1500 mg per day. No other supplements all that helpful compared to our regular diet, potentially hurtful on the pocketbook and if you load up your body with the extra chemicals.

Question 2

b12 level is 194 pg/ml. pa told me to take b complex vitamins. there's so many to choose from at store. i bought "nature made" b-complex "stress". it has 12 mcg (500%) b12 along with 11 other vitamins. is this a good choice??

Accepted Answer

: Your B12 level is obviously low so I wonder if you have problem with B12 absorption or because of your diet low in B12. If the cause is dietary, you can take the B-complex preparation with 100 mcg of B12. If you have problem with B12 absorption and you have signs of vitamin B12 deficiency such as anemia or neuropathy, you have to take monthly B12 injection or sublingual B12.

Question 3

i am 34 weeks pregnant and my hb level is 10.4 is this good or bad?.....i have being taking my prenatal vitamins.

Accepted Answer

Just right!: Great question! the best data on this important topic come from the united kingdom and professor phil speer:  he has demonstrated that the best hemoglobin to have at 28-34 weeks (i.e. At its physiological nadir in pregnancy) is around 10 g/dl with increased perinatal risks below 9 and above 11 g/dl. Regular prenatal vitamins is all you need - don't listen to anyone trying to label you anemic!

Question 4

what vitamins are good for me?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: Since you are pregnant i'd advise a quality prenatal vitamin. A fish oil supplement featuring dha is also important during pregnancy. Most people benefit from extra vit. D, at least 5000 iu/day and extra vit c 1000 mg 2x/day. It looks like you also have diabetes. Certain supplements like chromium and cinnamon may help.

Question 5

Question 6

what are b-12 vitamins good for?

Accepted Answer

B 12 deficiency: It is also given prophylactically to prevent B12 deficiency in patients who have undergone surgery of the small bowel.

Question 7

low vitamins d level. how serious is this.

Accepted Answer

It's very common : Low vit d is not life threatening or even a short term issue. The concern is long term - it can lead to worsening bone density (osteoporosis). More research has led to links with fatigue, muscle weakness, heart issues, etc. We aim for a blood level greater than 30 ng/ml. I often prescribe a high dose vitamin d protocol "boosting" for 2-3 months, then an otc vit d supplement of 2000 units daily.

Question 8

what vitamins and mineralsare necessary for good eyesight?

Accepted Answer

All of them: They work as a team and you cannot pick one by itself. Vitamin a deficiency causes night blindness but must be thought of as a member of a team. I have never prescribed a single vitamin because there is a fundamental balance that is achieved first by a pristine diet------the first rule.

Question 9

are hairfinity vitamins any good?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B complex: One can try from vitamin b complex (biotin) and fish oil.

Question 10

what vitamins and minerals good for bones expected d?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C, calcium+D: There are a number of nutrients essential to bone health. The most well known are calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.  Many people do not know that vitamin C is also important for the formation of the collagen scaffolding that new bone is created on. Boron is another important micronutrient, as is Vitamin K, and Silicon.  Finally, and oft neglected is the strengthening effect of regular exercise.
