486919 tn?1280184140 Most vitamin and mineral supplementations can be taken in the morning, and either during or after eating so absorption will be optimized. The best source for all vitamins and minerals are our foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the best sources. You get the needed vitamins and minerals and the additional fiber benefit too. Hope that answered your question.
Avatar m tn I am not a teenager anymore but have realized i have was eating nothing but fast food and microwave dinners and thought that maybe this might be the reason for my outbreaks. Was wondering if i am having this problem with acne and in addition thinning hair what vitamins might i be missing from my diet which could help fortify me against both.
Avatar f tn Since most vitamins are synthetic, the body may be able to absorb and assimilate the vitamins best if they are ingested along with food and its naturally occurring vitamins. Fat soluble vitamin supplements A, E, D and K are usually concentrated into a gel capsule or a liquid drop form for supplementation. Their class means these vitamins need to be ingested with some form of dietary fat in order to be most efficiently absorbed into the body through the gastrointestinal tract.
Avatar m tn The daily value for vitamins and minerals are based on a 2000 calorie diet. However, my metabolism (observed based on calories in vs weight change as well as energy levels in response to calorie intakes to distinguish between starvation metabolism and actual calorie needs) is much higher than the standard 2000 calories — even starvation level for my metabolism is much higher than 2000 calories. The following are the nutrients that I suspect would have a higher RDI for a higher metabolism.

Avatar m tn Eating whole foods and obtaining your vitamins/minerals are going to be the best option. Even though pill forms of vitamins and minerals seem to be the healthy option, our bodies still have to work to break them down. In most cases, the pill forms are synthetic forms of the vitamins which in the long run are not the best option for your body. What type f diet do you eat?
Avatar m tn Hi... I'm 42. I'm thinking about what Vitamins and Minerals should I take with my age. I have just started taking Forceval capsule per day. Is it ok to take that for a longer period? or is there any other capsule that I can take instead of this? and will this provide the required nutrition for my age?
Avatar n tn Hi, I had acne from puberty until about age 30 when I heard that zinc deficiency can cause acne. I rushed out and bought zinc supplement tablets and my acne cleared up and has never returned!
535882 tn?1396576685 Kev - Thats a little chalanging.! I take dessicated 3x per day. 90mg at 6AM and 30mg 11AM just before lunch. Then just 15mg at 4 PM. I used to snack all day, so some times the 4PM I do sublingually if I'm hungry. On a similar schedule, you could take supplements that are not minerals with lunch. Minerals need to be 3-4 hrs apart from 'swallowed' thyroid meds. So zinc, selenium are best at dinner (6 pm) or possibly mid morning.
1126695 tn?1261597496 Hello there, Pregnant women need a good diet and since it's hard to keep a good diet with today's processed food i recommend vitamins and minerals supplements. Raw food is better than cooked food, so don't cook your vegetables and eat a lot of fresh fruits. For the vitamins supplement i recommend a multi-vitamins/minerals like Centrum + a good vitamin C ( 1,000mg with calcium ) + a vitamin B complex. Consider Green+ or SuperFoodRX as a daily intake too which is rich in nutriments.
5875562 tn?1410898886 All these vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy conception. Take a balanced diet rich in all these vitamins and minerals. DHEA supplementation is useful in women with diminished ovarian reserve.

Avatar n tn As far as diet is concerned, low carb and low calorie are good, but you also need to make sure that you are getting the the vitamins and minerals that you need- do you track micro nutrients at all? Do you take a multi-vitamin? You may check those areas. Was the tretinoin given to you for acne? Have you called the doctor to let them know you are seeing these areas after using the cream? I would also give your doctor a call and let them know what you are seeing.
Avatar n tn t touching me for long - I was allergic to my hair color and the warmth color of bare minerals for example - most bronzers and foundations. I hope this helps.
Avatar m tn So if you want to speed up your hair growth and thickness you should limit the intake of fat and salts. Selenium, zinc and magnesium are some of the minerals that your hair needs and also amino acids and vitamin E will help in growing hairs. 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 m tn What vitamins and minerals are good for eye health and what are the optimal amounts? As far as I know, Vitamin A, beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, lutein, and billberry are good for eyes.
Avatar n tn Good ones will have NO gluten and NO grains (this includes rice and corn), a good protein source (meat, fish, eggs, tofu, or poultry), green leafy vegetables, sweet potato, berries and some other fruit, fish oil (containing DHA), vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. The good food does not have to every single ingredient that I have listed, but will contain many of the ingredients. Some good brands: Wellness Grain Free, Evo/Innova, Orijin canned only.
798555 tn?1292787551 Most of us know to separate vitamins and minerals 4 hours from our thyroid med. BUT for those who take a dessicated med 2 or 3 times per day, this becomes a challenge. Example:I take 75% of Erfa dessicated t3/t4 combo at 6:30 AM, 25% at 11 AM and the remaining 25% at 4 PM - complicated but their it minimal T3 'rollercoaster' that way. Magnesium is best at night - thats easy. But B vitamins are kind of senseless to take in the evening - you might not sleep.
Avatar n tn Yes, any form of heating veg, fruit or meat will deplete the food of their vits and minerals.... thats why it's either best to gently steam or eat raw.
Avatar n tn Yes. You can take multi-vitamins. Armour thyroid has been around a long time and many physicians consider it superior to synthroid. As to "what brand of vitamin is best" that is a "how many angels are on the head of a pin" question. Purchasing vitamins in a store specializing in supplements, rather than an ordinary drugstore, will give you a better product selection.
Avatar f tn I've had IBS for so many years now....and I've became Vegan.I feel better but now I need vitamins. Is there any that would make my bowels worse or better?
Avatar n tn The best vitamins to take are what is called whole food vitamins. Those contain the entire vitamin and co-factors. The best brands, in my opinion, are New Chapter, and Garden of Life. You can get those at Whole Foods or online. I take Garden of Life Vitamin Code. Most all health and nutrition experts agree that people need to take a multi vitamin regardless of their diet. It is pretty difficult to get the right range of nutrients, unless you eat an absolutely perfect diet.

1266263 tn?1270153368 These carbohydrates provide not only energy but also important vitamins and minerals. You store only carbohydrates not protein or fats in your muscles in the form of sugar called glycogen. During hard exercise, you burn this glycogen for energy. When you deplete your glycogen stores, as can happen during repeated days of hard training and a low carbohydrate diet, you feel overwhelmingly exhausted.
