Hello ,
I am 24 years old , beta thalassemia minor, female from India(new delhi). I am having trouble finding appropriate brands for supplements, hence calling out for help.
• My hb is 11.6.
• vitamin D level is 10
• vitamin b12 is 383
I discovered about thal minor a while ago but I was told it is asymptomatic. I have been tired and fatigued all my life, never knew why though. Nevertheless in the last couple of months my fatigue has gone to new lows. I feel like I am 100 years old. I don’t even feel like I have the strength to walk till the door.
In order to boost my HB I tried incorporating strength training a couple of months ago, as I could just not keep up with endurance exercise. The heavy lifting of weights I guess just accelerated the vitamin depletion and my body just can’t cope now. I am VERY VERY tired and fatigued. Its difficult to express HOW tired !! I have also started experiencing heart palpitations.
After finding this godsent website, I have realized I need supplements. I spoke to doctors but we know doctors don’t like being told about the calcium magnesium ratio or natural Vitamin E or any other suggestions. So I am having trouble finding appropriate brands that meet requirements in India.
If any of you Indian friends can tell me the brands you are taking for the following supplements it will serve as a great guidelines. Please do help. I am very tired and very lost with little help from the medical field.
Please help what are the brands or medicines you take for the following in INDIA -:
• Vitamin B Complex (100 is recommended)
• Calcium 500-100mg
• Magnesium 250-500 mg daily.
• Vitamin C 500-1000 mg daily.
• Natural vitamin E complex. 400 IU natural E daily.
• Vitamin D -5000 IU daily or 50,000-60,00 IU are prescribed weekly
• folic acid -1000-2000 mcg (micrograms)daily.
• L-cartinine or L-arginine
