which vitamins are best?
 

Sorry if this has already been asked.

The huge array of vitamins in stores can make you dizzy, am wondering if anyone knows which brands are best?

I'm female...and looking for a good multi, GNC has various kinds so not sure which to get. Is GNC a reputable brand?

I already buy NOW vitamins, C (1000) D3 (1000) and E (400) am only taking 1000 of the Vit D3, is that enough?

I also take Magnesium.

Have just started throwing in fish oil but don't know how much of that I should be taking.

Do not take any of the B's and have been reading a thread about how useful that is?

Thank you in advance fro any advice :grouphug:

Mark has posted a thread that is "stickied" on the top of the forum that gives you information.

Very informative and good for the Brain.

Oh yeah

Read up on your vitamins up on that stickie.

I take a frickton of supplements, but I did before my concussion. I do take the GNC ultra woman vitamiin and you can get it at Amazon.com

Read it all there and you decide what works for you.

Take care

dagma1,

The brands are not near as important as getting a supplement regimen started and staying with it. It takes months for nerves to recover because the myelin sheath is slow growing/repairing. Strained nerve fibers can not heal until the myelin sheath has healed. The vitamins help the myelin sheath heal.

Just try to avoid the grocery store brands, One a Day, Centrum, etc. As mentioned GNC Mega Men/Women have good dosages. Do not double up on a lesser dose brand thinking it will make up. You may end up with too much of a trace element such as the metals.

The B-50 is important because it helps balance the B's but you should still add the B-12 and some B-6.

Thanks everyone, read and printed out Mark's sticky, really good info.

Going to buy the B vitamins and think I'll go with the GNC women's. :grouphug:
