Vitamin B12 and folic acid, relatively large doses to prevent recurrence of deficiency, since regular dietary intake wasn't enough. Brand doesn't matter, since it's prescription-only. Non-vitamin supplements is Omega-3 if I haven't eaten much fatty fish lately, and fairly low doses of haem iron to keep my ferritin where it is. I see no reason to take any other supplements, as my diet is fairly balanced, lots of vegetables, fairly good amount of fish (but could be better). I take enough pills already as it is due to chronic illness. Besides, there's so much NONSENSE out there. NO, large doses of Vitamin C will not help for a cold. It will give you the runs, and harm your kidneys in the long run, but you're wasting your money. Get out in the sun in summer, eat vit D-rich foods in winter if you live in places such as Norway like I do, and otherwise take it easy. Eat vegetables, try to eat less processed food, remember that vit B12 only comes from animal sources (milk, eggs, meat - spirulina does NOT contain B12) and you should be good. |
