One day later I got awared that vitC vitB12 and vitE of the above formulation was above the rda during pregnancy. I would like to know wether I change it with sangobion or not. How many tab of sangobion should I take per day? ## Hello, Maryam! How are you? Since you are pregnant, you do need some extra nutrients to help ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your baby, however, this also means that you shouldn't take anything, without your doctor's approval. Which one has your OB Gyn advised you to take? Do you have one, yet? When are you due?

DON"T USE myKERAGRO. They have AWFUL customer service, inaccurate terms and conditions and the product is very overpriced. They made it a nightmare to return the product. There are plenty of products on the market with the same ingredients, from a reliable source AND cheaper. ## I have not received my pills yet!!!!! Its been a week. How do I cancel?! ## I'll post this here, again, before anyone else spends money on a such a product… Regardless of what they claim, the length of your hair, how thick it is, how fast it grows and etc. are genetically predetermined. There is nothing that can be done to change it. Some nutrients can help with the health of you hair, so it may look and feel better, but nothing will make it grow and faster, longer or be thicker than your genes des...

Please advise whether to stop this immediately if you think it is too much ## Evion is nothing more than a nutritional supplement that contains Vitamin E, which is vital to our overall health. However, it is not going to fix a liver problem, but it can support healthy liver function. If you have such medical conditions, you should follow your doctor's advice for what to take to best benefit yourself.

I am suffering from pcos and taking ovacet. I have a situation were I need to prolong my periods by a week. Can I stop ovacet and take Promilut n OR can I continue both at the same time. Is there any side Effect if I take Ovacet and Promilut n at the same time. ## Hi Jaya, Ovacet reportedly contains the following set of ingredients: Myoinositol + L-methyl Folate + Calcium + Vitamin D; however there are no current methods for checking interactions between vitamins and contraceptives like Primolut (norethisterone). So it sounds to me like your best bet would probably be to contact the doctor who prescribed both medications, in order to help rule out the possibility of interactions occurring. If it was the same doctor who prescribed both, odds are that you should be fine. But it may still ...

My doctor recently prescribed Folbic for my vitamin deficiency. How do I know its working and can I also supplement with additional b vitamins? ## Hello, Mark! How are you doing? You should see an improvement in whatever symptoms caused your doctor to check for it, if it's working. And no, it would not be advisable to add more B vitamins, because getting to much of some of them can also be dangerous. Is there anything else I can help with?

From what I could gather, Folnew softgels reportedly contain folic acid as the primary ingredient; which they market for use in treating folate-deficiency anemia.

I have to say I've been taking Krill Oil for a while now and I'm really impressed on how it's making me feel. I'm not a big vitamin and supplement guy, but I may just keep on taking this for awhile. Not sure about all the brands, I'm sure some are good, some not, but the one I've been using is Nature's DNA on Amazon.

From what I read the only difference between Folic Acid and Folbic is that Folbic contains B12 am I wrong ## Folbic actually contains Pyridoxine, Cyanacobalamin and Folic Acid, so it has two B vitamins with the Folic Acid. Learn more Folbic details here. So, for anyone else seeking information, they are different and you should take the specific one that your doctor directed you to use. Are there any comments or questions? ## Do they no longer make folbic tabs.
