Avatar m tn I have noticed the Zinc upsets my stomach so I have to take it with a little food. Just my personal experience. As I think you all know, I plan on treating with triple therapy (INC, peg-INF, RBV) leading into my transplant. Meaning I will attempt to become UND during those weeks (4-12) before transplant. If UND I will then choose a liver without hepatitis C so I will not reinfect my new donor liver and be free of hepatitis C after my transplant.

Avatar m tn Copper supplements are incredibly cheap, but you want to be sure you have the deficiency. Copper and Zinc are in balance, so be careful you don't deplete your zinc. Using bracelets won't work. Again, supplementation is very cheap with this one, and you only need a very small amount. Or you can research foods that are rich in copper and do it that way.

Avatar f tn I'm on too much thyroid supplementation, I presume based on these numbers, is that correctt, whomever will answer this for me, please doctor? But my subjective s/s are calling it another way. My labs generated this: TSH-0.010; T4-13.7. Meds are 175 mcgs qd, synthroid, plus cytomel-5 mcgs. bid; however, I've been on this therapy for 38 years. Is there 1. a possibility I should be changed from a synthetic; and 2. the dose lowered? Would just love some feedback.

Avatar m tn only Zinc Picolinate demonstrated in peer-reviewed studies elevated levels of Zinc after long term supplementation - no other form of Zinc did that. In addition, Copper Sebacate also showed that it seems to be the most bioavailable form - though the info on this is a bit sketchy. Additionally, Vitamin K2 is best taken as MK-7 form ... all other forms of K are not really useful to the body. Selenium seems to be best absorbed as L-Selenomethionine form.

Avatar m tn About three months ago my left triceps muscle developed a twitch. It was in the same spot, affecting maybe a third of the muscle. It kept going for about two weeks off an on throughout the day. I had no loss in strength and if I used the muscle the twitch went away. It was only when slack that the twitches occurred. And it was pretty much just in one place, though I would get other twitches in other times, but they lasted a few times and were gone (normal muscle twitches).
