I take prenatal multivitamin iron-folic acid 29-1 MG because of the Iron deficiency anemia I have,
Vitamin D due to all the anti-seizure medications I take which lead to bone loss,
cyanocobalamin (a form of B-12) to help its deficiency,
and melatonin to help me fall asleep.
There are many more medications and pills on the list that don’t fall under this category.
Your tastebuds can definitely let you know when you are deficient in things you need!! Three different times for me and the first time was a bizarre PICA craving.
Vitamin D because of a low “D” on my blood tests. Also, recently started Iron, because my hemoglobin count has always been below range. I try to eat nuts in my diet for extra magnesium because I exercise a lot.
@Patty Harris my foot doctor also did but told me why. He said CQ10 400mg and ALA 200mg twice a day help to prevent neuropathy and maintain a more steady blood sugar level.
In addition to the what I picked from the options, I take ALA, Glutathione, CoQ10, mixed vit E, Acemannon Aloe supplement, Iron, adrenal support, Cardio Miracle & Ninxga Red
Hi KC! Were you experiencing any dizziness or fainting with the cluster headaches? My husband has uncontrolled drop attacks and just was diagnosed with a somewhat rare type of migraine. I’m so glad to hear the magnesium helped!
