I know the list can be much longer but I'm helping someone and they are not going to go out and by 10 different ones.

Question
Are you following the gluten free diet?

If not, you may have substantial malabsorption issues.

B12 only works for those who are low in B12.

Each supplement is going to work best only for certain individual weaknesses a person has.

Magnesium is always good, since so many in US are deficient.
It will help with about 300 metabolic problems, not just PN.

So a question like this is not going to work for everyone.

Have your been tested for B12 and Vit D? do you know your numerical results?

It's not for me but someone I know. They have not been tested for vit D. They have for B12. B12 is borderline to being under. Is the vit D a special test? They don't smoke, do drugs, drink, consume any soft drinks or coffee.

Is this the right place to post this thread???

B12, fish oil, Vit D, l Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Biotin, there are many. I have perfect glucose levels but I am on a diabetic and high nutrient diet and that has all been wonderful. I am healing and doing great.

"Minding my Mitochondria" is a great book for information about nerve and mitochondria and food. Very important to stop sugary high carb foods and get a lot of nutritious food.

Question
Basically this question is being brought forth like a drug question.
Thinking like a "drug" solution is not going to work for a supplement suggestion.

But in essence we know nothing about who needs the information?

If this person has autoimmune disease, or low thyroid, or
a hereditary problem, the supplement question is moot.

Kinda what I've been telling them. Give the body every fighting chance.

Thanks for the tip on the book
