Which vitamins and minerals?

['Kaze Pete]

Well, here's my 2c's worth. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue / exhaustion a few years' back.

 

The doc (combo heart surgeon/physician and endocrinologist) suggested i take the following:

 

1. Multi-stain probiotics (max strength);

2. Zinc-selenium combo (eg "Zinplex");

3. Esther C;

4. Dr Vogel Base Powder;

5. Omega 3's ("Best 4" brand); and

6. Solal Burnout (for obv reasons).

 

The above got me healthy again.

Specific advice for a specific patient suffering from specific symptoms. Hardly usable for general use. Just like my zinc and magnesium for which I have specific reasons.

Thanx for all the answers hubbers. But perhaps I should rephrase my question to read:

Which supplements can be bad for one’s health if taken in excessive quantities?

(my juffrou in standard 7 told us that some vitamins are “soluble” and therefore harmless since excess leaves via the bladder. Others are “not soluble” and they are the baddies.)

Huh ???

This was turning out to be an interesting thread,..until, "But perhaps I should rephrase my question to read:..."

Go for a blood test and find out if you deficient in any specific vitamins, pumping in loads of vitamins and hoping for a result is a waste of money.
