Thanks, thav. I take EPO as well. With Omega 9s, you do have to be careful though not to take too much. It's the ratio to Omega 3s (actually, the 3-6-9 ratio) that is important to keep the body in balance. Just in general, I was happy to find a vitamin board here -- it seems very good.

I take other things besides these but if you are open to supplements, I would also highly recommend curcumin, which is the active ingredient in the herb turmeric. There are studies documenting its anti-inflammatory effect, albeit small (as with most herbs and vitamins -- not large samples because of funding). The brand I take is called "Turmeric Force".

Regarding aspartame, you will find mixed thoughts on the subject and I think if you posted the question here and also on the vitamins board, you'd get mixed responses. Not specifically in regard to MS but just generally speaking, I personally believe aspartame is a neurotoxin.
