Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 --- Hi Cheryl, I have done my research on vitamins and order a very high quality.....patented to absorb into your system at over 90%. I order them on-line so it is simple. I have been on them for 7 years and I never get sick....I just get fibroids. The doctor is amazed at my iron level as it is very good despite my bleeding. You can e-mail me at katdeuts@... and I can let you know how to order them if you like. I believe the company offers a 3 month trial with all of your money returned if you do not feel improvement overall.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi , Your B12 is suboptimal, and should be at least 410, and best at or over top of range. I'd recommend supplementing with a sublingual with methylcobalamin in it along with a folic acid supplement. One must supp folic acid when supp'ing B12.

I got this from taking approx 2000 iu daily for 2 years. Plus some sun this summer in June/July/August. I think the extra summer sun probably did it. Do I need to reduce the dose? > > What about my Vitamin E of 57* ? The range is 14 - 50 mol/L. I am taking 400 iu mixed tocopherols daily. Some say higher amounts of Vitamin E intake (400 iu or more) increases the risk of dying. Should I take less now that my status is that high or what? I know Vitamin E is known in certain circles of thinning blood which is just what I need. > > My B12 is at 396. The range is 170 - 650 pmol/L. Hertoghe says it's ok. What is your opinion about this? I do have shots AND sublinguals (1000 mg) lying in my home waiting for use. > > Vitamin A is 2.5. The range is >0.7 umol/l. This seems more than adequate to me. Hertoghe wants me to do 100.000 iu Vitamin A daily based on his lab from June which was 61 ug/dL. His range was 57 - 111 ug/dL. I did take 25.000 iu Vitamin A for like 2 weeks but then quit it because I was too scared to go on with it. Did my Vitamin A improve drastically in just 2 weeks, or was Hertoghe's value a lab-error? And with the risk of lab-errors, should one take 100.000 iu Vitamin A daily in my case? Also based on my latest Vitamia A result which is adequate? Does anyone know how much Vitamin A one needs, in umol/l? I see no top range at my lab. They just say more than 0.7 umol/l. > > Folate is 42.6. The range is >5.7 nmol/l. So I have a very high Folate. Is this ok? What happens if I take more? I was told to take twice the dose that I am on today. (400 mcg daily, I was told to do 800 mcg daily). > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi , I think your folate supp amount is good as it is. What form of B12 and how much is in this supp? It's best if it is methylcobalamin. It would be unusual if you are supp'ing B12 of any kind, and your serum B12 is only mid range. I haven't followed your history closely, but I know you have difficulties...I am thinking that for you, you need to use a sublingual form of B12. Hypothyroid lowers not only metabolism, but stomach acid as well - thus uptake of B12 into one's cells. Sublingual bypasses the stomach and gut. I've never heard of B12 causing hypokalemia, which is not to say it doesn't. I just don't remember hearing that. Val? Pam > > > > I hope someone knows more about vitamin and minerals than I do.
