Tpont21,

2 Mega Men Sport Multi's per day is more than you need and possibly too much for your system. If you add the others in my suggested regimen, you will only need the trace compounds in the Mega Men Sport. Even the B-100 is a bit much. A B-50 Complex or 1/2 of a B-100 should do you fine. The important B is the B-12. 2500 mcgs of B-12 should be doing you good.

Momwhocares,

Please start your own thread in the discussion forums so we can discuss your son's needs.

Too much discussion in the stickies makes it confusing for some, newbies especially.

So maybe I should start taking only 1 Mega Men Sport per day (which is half a serving) and take 1/2 of the B-100 complex. Would that be your recommendation Mark?

I was in a snowboarding accident on January 19, 2013. I caught an edge on my snowboard while carving down the mountain without a helmet. I smacked the back of my head hard on the ground. I was not knocked out and it took about a week for symptoms to come into full effect.

Since my accident I have been in a cycle of feeling better and then relapsing. It has happened many times. Although I think the overall trend is slowly traveling up. My symptoms included headaches, anxiety, sensitivity to light and noise, dizziness, fatigue, confusion, trouble concentrating, brain fog, loss of social interest, irritability, and mood swings.

Many symptoms have since resolved and I am left with slight dizziness, sensitivity to large crowds and busy environments, small amounts of anxiety, and brain fog off and on.

I am currently under the care of a neuropsychologist at the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic. I am also undergoing balance/vestibular physical therapy to help with my remaining symptoms.

Mark,

It's okay to take everything at once right? I take everything in the morning bc usually I will forget later in the day.

Hi

Well I tried the regimen for a few days an after about 3 or 4 days I started to get diarrhea... Not pleasant.

Having done some research this is down to overdosing of non water soluble vitamins.

I guess I now need to work out which ones are water soluble and cut out the rest!?

Question

Are you taking magnesium OXIDE in any of your products?

This is a laxative. Magnesium from OXIDE is not appreciably
absorbed.

Brick Top,

The only supplements than can cause diarrhea are the vit C and magnesium oxide. Mag citrate is better. You have to take a lot of vit C to get diarrhea, usually 4 to 10 grams a day. This is a vit C dosing check know as bowel tolerance. Some suggest taking vit C until you have reached your bowel tolerance than back off. I use a different system. I take enough vit C that I expel it in my urine. This shows that there is more than is being metabolized.

You also may just be shocking your system.

Are you taking a multi that has zinc in it ? Zinc can help with diarrhea.

You can start with the D3, B-12, B-complex, and Omega 3 fish oil. These will give your brain a start.

My best to you.
