Minerals Supplements

Question: What is the best time for taking multivitamins/minerals supplements? I lift weights 3-4 times per week. I usually drink a protein/carbo shake immediately after training: is that the best moment to take supplements or not?

Answer: Sure. Take ur protein/carb drink after ur workout. But, take a multivitamin, because they contain Bs, in the morning. B vits. give you mental and physical energy. take minerals in the evening. Minerals, like calcium will relax you. Also, do a kinesology test when u choose a product. Stand and hold the item to ur solarplexis. If u start to lean forward then ur body is telling you that you need it. If you start to lean back, that's your body telling you it doesn't want it. You must pick products that your body can assimilate. Otherwise it's just going down the toilet; Literally. Choose a product that is food based.

Question: what vitamins, minerals or supplements could have a cleansing or flushing effect on your bodies blood? I have some friends with severe infections in their gums which knowingly can spread through the body into brain and possibly blood. Among the many health concerns doctors have suspected fibromyalgia just as one explanation and they are prescribing prescription pain pills, b-12 injections, and other various tests and or surgeries without acknowledgement of the simple yet serious teeth issues. (please don't say....go to the dentists...or any other stupid obvious responses) I am looking for grand ol' facts, knowledge and advice or assistance.

Question: What vitamins minerals and supplements should a 45 year old man be taking daily?

Answer: I'm 34, and I've been taking Alive multi-vitamins, a zinc tablet, alpha lipoic acid, saw palmetto, and fiber capsules. The saw palmetto protects your prostate, alpha lipoic acid is a great free radical scavenger, and the zinc keeps your body producing healthy tissue, and the multi-vitamin and fiber speak for themselves.

Question: Does one get enough minerals in multi-vitamin supplements? or do some folks out there take a seperate mineral combo supplement later in the day in addition? and have u felt a difference?

Answer: No, multi-vitamins usually can't contain all your mineral needs for one day. The reason for this is that minerals are bulky, if all the minerals you need were in your pill, it would be way too big to swallow! I do take mineral supplements with my mega-vitamin. I am becoming convinced that minerals are the key to good health, at least for me. It's very hard to get enough minerals from your food, just as with the vitamins, you'd have to eat so much to get the required amount. I take several mineral supplements every day: magnesium, potassium, boron, calcium, chromium and selenium. I also take some herbal supplements that have really helped me. I'm convinced they make a big difference. I recently had a heart attack, and the angiogram afterwards showed absolutely no damage to the heart muscle. I will never know for sure, but I really think the minerals are what helped my heart not be affected by the heart attack. (Based on what I read about how each mineral works in the body chemistry.)

Question: what supplements/vitamins/ minerals should I consider taking while on a vegetarian diet? I am also planning on severely cutting down on dairy.

Answer: You need to take beta carotene, E, B12, C, Iron, calcium, magnesium, and definitely some Omega 3s. You only get Omega 3 oils from meat, fish, walnuts, and flax seed, and they are essential to your health. Also do not take iron and calcium at the same time; they cancel each other out. When you take iron you should take it with vitamin C, it will help your body absorb the iron. Some people say only take iron three times a week. You need to take calcium every day though, as a vegetarian, you really need to make sure you get enough calcium and omega 3s. Some vegetables include calcium, in addition to dairy products. Kale and broccoli are two of them.

Question: Do prenatal supplements have both vitamins and minerals? Do prenatal supplements have both vitamins and minerals, or only vitamins? If so, what do you all suggest?

Question: From what week should a pregnant woman start taking calcium supplements? What other minerals and vitamins? I am 10 weeks and just on Progestrone and Folic acid and methylcobalamine. When to start taking Ironand calcium. I hve seen some women taking from 1st week while some docs ask to start from 12th week. Why so? What other minerals i need..Vitamin B, C, D, A, E ...anything else? All doc prescribe different medicines. So feeling a bit confused. Expecially abt Iron and Calcium.

Answer: The reason most people start at 12 weeks is because that is when the doctor firsts sees you in most cases. I started taking calcium supplements right from the beginning any other vitamin I just waited until my doctor prescribed me pre-natal vitamins. I've had 3 kids and they are all heathly. Iron and Calcium are the 2 most important, if you have problems with your red blood count also known as HELLP syndrome, you may want to take in more vitamin K.

Question: what nutrients (vitamins, minerals, supplements) do apple seeds contain? If I eat apple seeds, what benefits can I expect to derive from them?

Answer: Apple seeds contain a cyanide compound, called amygdalin. In very small doses, the human digestive tract is capable of breaking down plant cyanides into harmless compounds. Accidental ingestion of a single apple seed or cherry pit, therefore, though NOT recommended, is unlikely to cause any serious trouble. However, larger doses cause anxiety, confusion, dizziness, headaches & vomiting. In severe poisoning, breathing difficulty; increased blood pressure and heart rate; and kidney failure are follwed by coma & convulsions. Death may then occur rapidly from respiratory arrest.

Question: What did people do before vitamins/minerals were available as supplements? Were people vitamin defficient or did they get what they needed from eating healthier than we do today? My husband thinks supplements are a hoax by the government. What do you think?

Answer: No, more people died from mysterious causes and people generally didn't live as long. What did they do? They got sick and died. That's not to say that you can't get the vitamins and minerals elsewhere ... but until you know you need it, whether or not you get it is left up to chance. Consider scurvy (a disease that comes about if you lack vitamin-C): Once the British military figured out that there was a deficiency that could be fixed by adding citrus to seamen's regular diet, the "disease" went from a top killer to virtually unheard of. If you know what's in everything you eat (and you have the resources), you can make sure you eat the right foods to get the vitamins and minerals you need. If you don't keep that carefull track, or you simply avoid certain foods that would provide missing vitamins and minerals, these supplements are a wonderful. In any case, your husband is wrong about it being a hoax: Amongst other critical supplies various relief agencies carry around overseas with them: Multivitamins. If its a hoax, its a world-wide hoax with a ton of researchers in on it. If you have a generally well rounded diet, you'll probably get MORE than what you need. Indeed there have been a number of studies that show that if you miss some things long enough, the deficiency in your body can start cravings. Trouble is, its hard to sort out that sort of craving from the "gotta have chocholate now..." kind of craving. This may be the body's attempt at regulating your actions towards getting more of what it needs ... but its too soon to tell. Generally, Americans do NOT have as well rounded a diet as they used to and supplements can help make up for it. Yeah, better would be to improve the diet ... But that doesn't mean that the supplements can't be used in a pinch.

Question: can one taking an aids drug combine it with miracle minerals supplements?

Question: I am Diabetic (type 1) and Vegetarian. What supplements/vitamins/minerals do I need? I am currently taking B12 and Zinc. Sometimes I take Valerian Root Extract for my anxiety. I also have frequent zit breakouts on my face. I believe my breakouts are caused by lack of some vitamins or minerals.

Answer: Your breakouts are likely genetic...you can blame your parents for that one. They are usually not vitamin-related. Try to get a prescription for Tretinoin (Retin-A) from a dermatologist for the acne. As for the vitamins, a good vegetarian multi with iron plus the added B12 is a good choice. Make sure you're getting enough iron and protein...beans and low-fat cheeses will be your best friends.

Question: What is the ideal amount of vitamin and mineral supplements that you can give a horse? Is it possable to over feed mineral and vitamin supplements? our neighbors seem to leave at least half a bucket of minerals out for there horses. Its nothing like a mineral lick it looks like calcium or something. Can you over feed theses things? What can happen if you over feed? i have horses but i am just curious what you guys think. please help thankyou

Answer: What you are talking about is 'loose minerals' and not vitamins. My guys have a bucket of loose minerals that they eat on. They also have a TM block but they just didn't get enough from it so I went to loose minerals instead. They munch down on it when they feel they are needing it. Great improvement. Currently I'm trying to find a place that will sell each mineral separate that way I can let them choose which mineral they want.
