* This is a repost of original post made 6 months ago *

Is anyone taking any kind of supplements? Ive been reading up on a few things and the Americans etc. seem really clued up on these things. So I have decided to give them ago as they can't do any harm. I've started taking



Fish oils EFA, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Bio-Quinone Q10, andL-carnitine



I thought I would give them 3 months as they are quite pricey. Hope there is no side affects unlike the Pumpkin seeds. My fault I suppose having my yearly supply in one day. I am still eating them though.



Also does anyone use any alternative therapies ?

6 Months Later :wink:

I thought it was about time I gave you my feed back on the supplement I take as I was originally going to give them 3 months because of the cost but I have now been on them 6 months.



Fish oils EFA, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Bio-Quinone Q10, andL-carnitine











This was pretty much how I was feeling when I started taking them, as if I was slightly drunk with a muzzy head and having trouble keeping my balance at times. The thought of crossing a big empty room was quite daunting. Instead I would skirt around the edges so that if I felt myself going I would at least have the wall for support.



Well 6 months on I am feeling really good. I am having far fewer speed wobblies as Marty would call them. My balance has certainly improved. That muzzy drunk feeling I got from time to time has as good as gone. I'm feeling a lot heathier in myself and I've also managed to shed a few pounds. I'm not saying that my FSH has improved but ( just the balance bit perhaps ). I am certainly no worse than I was. I'm feeling far more positive and energetic. I have no intention of stopping the supplements as I believe for me they are well worth the money.

Thats cool traceyanne, can you post what the mg's are on each one your taking?

I'm thinking of going on the CoEnzyme Q10 100mg

I take..........

Q10 super ..................................... 30mg Capsule ........ 3 per day
Complete EFA, omega 3,6 and 9 .....1200mg : ......... 3 per day
Alpha Lipoic Acid..............................300mg : ..........1 per day
Acetyl L-Carnitine.............................500mg : ..........2 per day

Well i take vitamin C, Calcuim and half an asprin a day.

But here's the intresting bit never started taking calcuim until my Mum badgered me into after a fall!! Now am not saying its stopped me falling but lets just say am not falling as much however when i do fall, well we know what happens :roll:

Maybe its the old placebo affect who knows but am going to keep on taking them, i also believe in a meat intense diet plenty of protein (Or maybe its because i like meat mmmmmmmmmmm hungry now)

Does this count as a supplement? :wink: I add Tabasco source to soup and bovril clears my nose and warms me up!
