My comment Ayesha is that the vitamin E is  very little. In Singapore conference, the studies showed that it is safe to take up to 600mg daily. Also my son who is 6 years takes Vitamin E 400mg alternating days.

As for calcium, i can see also it is low as you should take at least 1000mg daily (for an adult) and

children and adolescents should consume a total (diet plus supplements) of 1,300 mg/day of calcium.

and gererally magnesium should also be half the intake of calcium

Ayesha,

You'll have to take seperate suppliments for these things,this is the best option,you know imtiaz store at bahadurabad,they have quite a range of meds,they also have tokosvit (vitamin E).

I have been attempting to purchase L-carnitine - I was told today that it is not approved for use in Canada - but it is approved in the US.  I was told that it was not because of safety but for other issues. 

They told me to consider citrulline instead.  Does anyone have any comments?

For example, most infants with pulmonary hypertension have an increased level of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA- an inhibitor of nitric oxide production) in their blood. The easiest, most efficient method of combating this condition is to supplement with L-arginine, which overcomes ADMA's nitric oxide inhibition.

Quote
Although safe, citrulline does not directly convert to nitric oxide, but instead is recycled to L-arginine (an ATP-dependent process), which then converts to nitric oxide. Ferid Murad, MD, PhD, Nobel-prize winner for his research on nitric oxide, has said the use of L-citrulline to increase nitric oxide is only marginally effective.

Quote
Common sense says toss out the Viagra, the BiDil and the citrulline, and utilize L-arginine. Change bad medicine to good medicine and ignore the hype.

Andy,

As it is near impossible for me to get L-carnitine for my son - should I start him on L-arginine?  If so what would be a good dose for him (27kg) ? 

Thanks Andy,

Sharmin,

Since Big Brother Health Canada has made L-carnitine a prescription only "drug" (OMG! drug????  L-carnitine is produced in the human body!), I think you should try L-arginine. 500 mg daily would be fine.

This is exactly why consumers have to continue to defeat bills like C-51. It only gets worse from here if we allow the bureaucrats to decide that food products are drugs.

Thanks Andy,

I'll start the L-arginine :)

These restrictions are really making it difficult for people to be proactive and preventative in their health care.

Sharmin, can't you tell your dotor about L-Carnitine and you can also show him the studies  and papers describing how it is very beneficial to thal and he in turns write a prescription for you in order to buy it

I just read that Lysine helps the body to make Carnitine
http://www.pharmaton-kiddi.com/com/Main/formulation/lysine/index.htm

 Kiddie Pharmaton has Vitamin C and iron and other things while the Kiddie Pharmaton we have here in Egypt which is manufactured under lisence does not have Vitamin C nor iron for marketing reasons and to control its price
