Mineral Supplements

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

This is a valuable input from Geoff. I made the mistake of purchasing

supplements of magnesium, selenium and zinc, only to realize later that my

normal daily vitamin supplement already contains more than the daily

requirements of these minerals. My vitamin supplement is SuperNutrition

Men's Blend (iron free).

Sincerely, Harald

Hello everyone,

Although a new-comer to this group, I can see from all the

messages over the last week that there are a lot of knowledgeable

people out there!

Reading the various messages, I realise that I ought to be

taking a supplement containing zinc and selenium, in addition to the

things I am already on. However, I have a problem with malabsorption -

I have tried zinc in the past due to tests showing low levels of zinc,

but taking tablets hasn't brought about any sustained improvement.

Does anyone know of a supplement with zinc and selenium that is

suitable for those with absorption problems and multiple

sensitivities? I have come across a few liquid multi-mineral

supplements, but they all contain iron and my haemoglobin levels are a

bit high (16.3; reference range 12.0 - 15.0)- so I've been advised to

not take supplements containing iron.

Many thanks.

Hazel.

Hi Hazel,

I would recommend "fatigued to fantastic" available from iherb.com amongst other places, as this really made me feels much better after starting it. I do not know what is in it, but the full list is listed on iherb.

Hi ,

>> that BioCare have liquid zinc and selenium supplements that are suitable for

those with malapsorption problems, so I think I will give them a try.

I use BioCare drops - I mix them with my morning berry juice - they also do a

good multi vitamin B. I discovered them a while ago on the Health

site. I try to use drops as I have got fed up taking so many

tablets/pills/capsules.
