Avatar n tn With intrinsic factor, 56% of a 1 mcg dose of vitamin B12 is absorbed. However, if you exceed the capacity of intrinsic factor (between 1 and 2 mcg) the percentage of B12 absorbed is reduced. Approximately 10 mcg of B12 is absorbed from a 500 mcg supplement. A small percentage (1 to 3%) of vitamin B12 intake is absorbed through passive diffusion without intrinsic factor.
Avatar n tn I don't know anything about cost, but this isn't a particularly good vitamin product. For one thing, it contains the least absorbable form of B12, which isn't unusual in a multi but doesn't make it anything special. It's also not particularly complete. Docs like to tell you to take pharmaceutical products because that's what they know -- they are sold to by pharmaceutical company detail reps and not by, say, manufacturers of natural vitamins.

Avatar n tn HI there, After I lost my first and only child to stillbirth almost 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder (APS), and my reproductive endocrinologist also tested me for antibodies to EBV and HHV-6, both were positive. He is a very good doctor, being one of the first Dr's to link EBV and HHV-6 to recurrent early misscarriages.

874521 tn?1424116797 I'v recently heard on a radio program about a product called serasil I don't know exactly what it is or much abt it other than its SUPPOSED to be very effective for joint and nerve pain. Do any of you know anything abt this product and whether or not its worth trying?
Avatar n tn Hello, I am a 52 yr old, female and noticed that as I began taking a multivitamin I began to urinate frequently. Is there a reason why this is happening? I switched from the first product (Equate - Multivitamin/Multimineral 50+) to currently taking a product "Nature Made Multi For Her 50+. The Equate vitamin caused frequent urination every 25-35 minutes. I also noticed lower back pain when I walk. Now taking the Nature Made Multi...
1210142 tn?1266077031 Carlson is a great old company, but is best known for their vitamin E and fish oils. M4 really likes a product called Greens Plus. It was very popular with customers in the health food stores. The only thing I didn't like about it was I don't think the body can successfully digest so many foods eaten at one time, though I can't prove or disprove this. Personally, I alternate Nutrex Spirulina Pacifica and Green Foods barley sprouts.
Avatar f tn I use plain rubbing alcohol.
Avatar f tn btw, it is a really long list on that health page. what i found to help me a lot emtionally was 5htp (once a day) and a product called Theanine Serene which i got from the Vitamin Shop. i take 2 of these whenever i am really irritable or anxious, which is sometimes several times a day, with no side effects. it is a blend of some calming aminos and some herbs. really good product. i can be absolutely freaking out and this will calm me down within a half an hour.
Avatar f tn I started using a product called Mothers Friend its amazing it stopped the itching and dry skin and smells great
Avatar n tn However it is not safe to use this product in pregnancy and it may cause birth defects. Since you have used this product, nothing else can be done but to get regular ultrasounds done to look out for any birth defects. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Sorry Beck but Monavie is not the answer - you see, Monavie does not treat, cure or mitigate the symptoms of any disease or condition (as per the company literature). No studies have ever been undertaken which confirm there are any health benefits associated with being "on the juice" and I'm sure if there were any, the company would have funded the trials which confirm this.

Avatar n tn Try a product called Scar Massage by Home Health or Belly Balm, I forget the manufacturer but it's for stretch marks. Might help over time.
Avatar m tn Dairy is an important source of calcium and vitamin D, both important for bone health. You need 3 cups of dairy products a day on your balanced diet plan. Choose low-fat and non-fat dairy products to limit your fat intake. A 1 cup serving of dairy equals 1 cup of 1 percent or nonfat milk, 1 cup of nonfat yogurt or 1 1/2 oz. of low-fat cheese. So if your not eating right and your blood test does not show good then take a multi.
