Re: Question about over-the-counter supplements? - Hi Darryl

[Guest guest]

Thank you for joining us and another active guy in group. The guy's are usually more of our quiet members but we appreciate them and all our quiet members very much.

Read your labels be careful of what you take the doses amounts even with vitamin supplements. High doses of vitamin A is not liver friendly causing liver and blood vessel damage. Tylenol to high of dose per day and by using 2 products containing tylenol can cause severe liver injury.

Buddy I feel for you working outside in this heat fatigue is going to be very rough on you. You need to stay hydrated throughout the day but be careful of what you are drinking - some sports or power aid drinks are nothing but extreme amounts of sugars and caffeine. Good old water lots of it is still sometimes best.

You didn't mention your stage of Hep C liver disease or if you had a liver biopsy or not.

Chronic Hep C having it for awhile will not go away on it's own progressions will continue Dr's can't predict who will progress or when or which patients will reach all the stages. I'll post for you a leading Hep Dr's views on chronic Hep C and treatments.

There has been medical research Hep C for different races and if any different medical problems or different reactions to treatments.

Honestly Hep C is such a new disease epidemic and with developing treatments there is still conflicting evidence as to different outcomes medical problems for blacks or for different races around the world.

All The Best To You

Hello Group,My thoughts and prayers go out to one and all.I'll try and keep it short.What are, if any, negatives in using supplements with "Niacin" and "Caffeinein them?I'm not on treatment, (even though my Doctor wants me to think aboutstarting tx).I work outdoors for a utility company for the city I live in, and some dayscan be long. Recently my fatigue factor has been raising and I thoughttaking one of these supplements may help.Are there any repercussions in taking these types of supplements?Thank You,Regards,Darryl52 year old Black male,Diagnosed in 1998,Blood Transfusion in 1976 due to vehicle accident.
