how long for supplements take to make a diff

[Guest guest]

Just wondering if anyone knows just how long it takes the body to

really absorb and have full benefits from vitamins/minerals. My Mom

used to say it takes a month for multi to have health benefit is that

old wives tale? lol

It probably depends on what form the supplements are in. The more

digestable (liquid, powder, capsule) the less time, I would think.

I would suggest doing one at a time for about 2 months. I read

somewhere that if you do more than one at a time, you won't know what

is working, what is a problem, and what doesn't do anything. I made

this mistake when my DAN! Dr. suggested several supplements. We ended

up taking him off them all and now he's doing great. All I know is

that you shouldn't do a super dosage of B vitamins for a long time (my

opinion).

Nutrients don't operate in a vaccuum; meaning they stimulate other

nutrients and processes in to action. The validity of your mom's tale

probably depends on the vitamin and what result you are looking for:

If I remember correctly, it takes more than a month to raise blood iron

levels and to feel relief from anemia. Diseases resulting from severe

deficiencies, like Rickets, cannot be cured with one dose of Vitamin

D/calcium... so the Old Wive's tale could apply here.

It takes weeks to months to raise intracellular zinc levels, too, but

you can see physical changes almost instantly in some situations (my

son stopped eating sand, crayons, pencil lead after only a few doses of

zinc).

Another example was magnesium, for me. I took mag and it immediately

alleviated the dead/heavy feeling in my legs at night. I have no clue

what it did on the cellular level.

I'm not a scientist, so forgive any word choice errors.

Well, it took several months of giving my #2 50,000mg vitamin C per

day, before I was able to even reduce the dose.

I gave him 10 capsules of B100 every day for several months, before I

was able to reduce that.

It took two times doing the high dose vitamin A protocol before

measles virus was eliminated and he was fully loaded with vitamin A.

If I had given lower doses, I would probably still be giving these supps.

So it really depends on the supplement and the child's body.

Amy,

Have you been working with different forms of zinc (citrate,

picolinate, etc)? Also, making sure copper is reduced/eliminated

from diet? Divide zinc in to several doses per day?

Zinc shouldn't taste nasty if you are deficient, I hear. What else

is in the capsule?

Yes, I started with lower doses, and I was able to watch them wear

off. So I increased the dose, and noted when it wore off. I wanted to

give supps 3x per day, so I just had to figure out how much to give so

that it would not wear off before the next dose.

Yes, once the higher doses started causing problems, I would decrease

them.
