I see, thanks Andy for the feedback.

Can IP6 be consumed after she wakes up, together with Exjade, both 30 minutes before her breakfast?

As from what I read, IP6 will be best consumed on empty stomach.

IP6 is a very mild supplement. I would suggest one capsule for a child, but more would not harm the child. It can be opened and mixed into food if swallowing a capsule is an issue.

Hi,

Found an IP6 supplement but the dosage stated is for adults.

For General Wellness:

The recommended usage is 2 capsules twice a day on an empty stomach.

Each dosage contains:
IP6 - 800mg
Inositol 200mg

Wondering what's the dosage suitable for a 5 years old (16kg)?

Have the doctors given you any information about how well it is working in patients already in the trial? I was also curious whether or not Luspatercept, Reblozyl has been tried yet.

Happy New Year hopefulmommy,

Has she had an MRI of the liver yet? At the least, a baseline should be done to make sure the ferritin readings accurately reflect the iron load. If the iron is proven low by MRI, I don't think that the MRI is essential annually, as long as the ferritin stays low.

Thalminorguy,
I would suggest higher doses of vitamin D and L-methylfolate. My D level is quite high, as I want it, and it took taking 50,000 IU once weekly to get it where I want it. I am on a high dose of folate daily, 8000 mcg and it is the only thing that gets me through the day. I would not hesitate to take B-12 daily. I am also on a very high, 5000 mcg daily dose. With my thyroid, I have found that folate and B-12 are required for me to get through the day. Magnesium is also recommended. As far as kidney stones, it might be advisable to avoid foods high in oxalates. Good hydration is also extremely important at all times. Turmeic capsules may help with the body pain. I take it morning and night to relieve chronic joint pain.

I want to mention that your RDW is borderline for iron deficiency and it may be helpful to make sure you have adequate iron in your diet. Even though supplements are usually contraindicated in thal minor, a diet that contains adequate iron is necessary.
