Good quality may lead people to buy Centrum or One a Day as similar branded multis with minimum RDA levels.

500 to 1000 mcgs of B-12

A B-50 complex

magnesium citrate

calcium citrate

moderate sugars and refined sugars by combining them with proteins or other slow to digest foods (maybe dairy) to slow the uptake of the sugars. Reese's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cups sound yummy. ??
I've had a sweet tooth lately and have been endulging in Apple Pies, different flavors of ice cream, candy bars and more. Just yesterday I ate a caramel sundae from McDonalds and it had a negative effect on my cognitive symptoms...

...but it tastes so good!!!

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
