Maybe not a serious problem now but your body may be warning you that you are not getting the nutrients you need. When your body has the fuel to do the things it needs to do disease rarely gets in the way, when we aren't eating or digesting correctly illness which is always ready to pounce will find us. I suggest adding foods with omega vitamins in them, these help our skin, hair and muscles heal and function properly. Nuts, fish and flax-seed oil are great sources of the nutrient. If your problem lies in digestion, fiber is the way to go. Fiber aids all of digestion because it absorbs water and ushers out waste and toxins. Fiber is easy to find in wheat flour, brown rice and hearty green vegetables. I can also recommend a great daily multi vitamin that will increase energy and digestion. It contains all the herbs and minerals to do the trick. let me know if you want more info, email any time.

You're looking for Resveratrol.\nThese guys have the best price I've found and very good quality on everything else I've tried from them. \n\nSwanson Vitamins\nhttp://www.swansonvitamins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay;jsessionid=00001v9ipc99sS82exBVtgPtlvA:-1?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&productId=16409&R=7071

I would agree with the others in that if you haven't been otherwise instructed by a physician, do not supplement kids.\n\nas a rule, you yourself shouldn't require daily supplementation.  this is because if you get enough sunlight (15-30 minutes a day depending on where you live relative to the equator and what season it is), typically your body will make it's own Vitamin D by converting cholesterol into the required form.  You do not need to supplement cholesterol either because everyone makes more than enough from your liver (this is why using diet to control cholesterol is only moderately helpful).\n\nThere may be worries such as "I'm fair skinned and can't get sun" or "I live in Nome, Alaska", but really 15 minutes a day is nothing, and much safer than risking oversupplementing with children.\n\nAs with all fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), the policy is to err on the side of caution.  Since these are not water soluble (in which case excess supplements are disposed of in the urine), excess D will accumulate over time in the fat stores and can cause a number of problems later on (especially since various forms of Vitamin D or activators of gene expression).

Multivitamins should only be taken if you are not getting the nutrition from meals. They are not a proven replacement because doctors aren't sure that you get the most from a vitamin like you do when you eat. Your body gets more of a benifit when it actually comes from the meal, not in a bottle. Get yourself tested and find out if you have enough nutrion in your meals if you do then don't bother with the multi vitamin.

Try fish oil suppliments.  I read an article about it, and have since started supplimenting my vitamins with them.  They do seem to be helping.  I have to do a lot of heavy duty concentration in my job, so it is an area I am interested in too.

You've got it all wrong. Vitamins tell your body that you don't need to take those vitamins out of the food you eat, you're taking the job your body had naturally and putting it in as more work for yourself. Eat assorted deep green leafy vegatables, avocados and such and you'll have all the vitamins you need. plus extra stuff that nutritionists haven't discovered that the plant has to benefit you.

Looking at your dad's conditions, maybe you might want to try nutritional therapy to replenish your cells with the essential 46 vitamins. \n\nMy grandmother, 76 years old, who has been a diabetic patient for many years, and she is taking Spirulina (Certified Organic by Japan Health Food Association), and when the doctor diagnosed her, her blood sugar has dropped to normal level and she is feeling more energetic than last time.\n\nThe human requires 46 essential nutrients from the daily diet. Essential vitamins consist of vitamins, minerals, proteins (amino acids).\n\nEssential nutrients:\n\n1)Most are not produced by the body.  100% sourced from our diet\n2)Many are broken down, lost or excreted daily.  Required daily\n3)Should be consumed in balanced proportions. Nutritional intake should be balanced.\n4)Are interdependent and may not be able to function without the presence of others.  The 46 essential nutrients should be presented at all times. \n\nLacking of 46 essential nutrients, Acidic body condition, unhealthy lifestyle will lead to unhealthy cells  Semi unhealthy state – headache, fatigue, shoulders ache  Long term will lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, leukemia, many 21st century common diseases.\n\nIf you want to know more information, you can email me at jaslinlee@yahoo.com I will glad to answer your enquiries.

you need a HIGH CALCIUM DIET dear :)\n\nif taking supplements, it needs to have vitamin D with it so that the body can absorb the calcium. The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium.\n\nDo you have any parathyroid problems? (hyperparathyroidism)If so, you need to be taking Calcitrol. But your doctor would have told you this, so just look up foods that have high calcium and eat those!

See a health advisor. It sounds to me as if you may be lacking some vitamins or maybe salt and potasimum, which is easily handled and not expensive.\nBut best from find out from an expert to be on the safe side.

Please check out this website for good vitamin info. You can search your condition on there. Im sure your friend means well and is trying to help but the daily RDA's of vitamins in multis are not sufficient for anyone. People need more vitamins. There is no way to get the nutrients you need from diet today no matter how well you try to eat.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/index.html\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/arthritis.html

Perhaps your body can not absorb it?  THat's why taking supplements will not help? Talk more with your doc about the absorption issue and what to do about it. Perhaps you can get it intravenously??

400 IU of Vit. E supplement per day is sufficient for ages 30-40 y/o, coz you can have the rest through natural means.\n\nu can increase your Vit. E supplement intake upon reaching over 40 y/o to 800 - 1000 IU a day, especially if you're still sexually active.
