Why is B17 the only vitamin illegal in the United states? ## There are many whole foods that 'naturally' contain Vitamin B17. The link below shows a list of these common food sources: As to why this Vitamin is considered to be illegal in the US, I have no concrete explanation, but can only guess that it has to do with money; the same reasons why medical marijuana is illegal at the federal level; Studies show it's benefits far outweigh its cons when compared to other medications or drugs. But the government doesn't know how to make money off of something that grows naturally around the world. Not to get off topic, but this appears to be the same reason Vitamin B17 is considered illegal even though it's found in abundance in many foods. It has potent anticancer propert...

Need to now how save Vitamin D2 50,000 IU is. ## First off, Vitamin D2 is a synthetic form of vitamin D. Want you want is Vitamin D3 if you are choosing the route of supplements. I suppose you can say both are synthetic since they are man made, but D3 is as close as it gets to actually getting sunlight. Do you live in an environment that doesn't provide much sunlight? I live in Portland, Oregon at the moment so I completely understand the lack of sunshine. But if you are fortunate enough to have a sunny environment, take advantage of it for at least 30 minutes a day and toss the supplements. In the world of nutrition, too much isn't a good thing. I think most people would agree that 50,000 IU is about 48,000 IU TOO much! Normal supplements of D3 contain 1,000-2,000 IU. Did you m...

## Where is there a financial patient assistance program for Phoslo? ## Many prescription drug manufacturers have programs specifically for the products they make, so you can try contacting the manufacturer and asking them. Another alternative would be to ask your doctor about an over the counter equivelent, you would have to take more of the medication to hit the same dose, but it might be cheaper that way. ## Generic for Phoslo (Calcium Acetate) is used to treat hyperphosphatemia (high blood phosphate levels) in patients with kidney disease.

i want to know whether there is any side effects of taking nurokind500 injections or instead i can take vitaminb12 tablets for deficiency of vitamin b12 ## What has your doctor advised? It is just a nutritional supplement and as such, the side effect profiles for it have not been studied as is done for actual prescription medications, but some people do experience nausea, both after the injections and from taking the tablets. Otherwise, you may also experience some redness and soreness at the injection site. If your level is severely low, your doctor may prefer you to use the injection to bring it up faster, as the tablets can take more time to do this.

I think i need vitamin B12, and I understand that Neurovit is B12 only, without Vitamin B1 and B6. I took B1,B6 and B12 combined but I suddenly experienced tingling/needle-like sensation so stopped taking Supraneuron tablets. ## Have you consulted your doctor to see if you need it? Too much Vitamin B12 can be just as dangerous as not having enough of it in your body. Neurovit contains Thiamine, Pyridoxine and Cyanacobalamin, so it does have the same vitamins as the other one that you tried. ## I continued my research on the contents of various B-complex vitamins. Yes, you are right, I should have consulted my physician. I found out that these B-complex vitamins contain different dosages or mgs e.g. Neurobion has B1 - 100 mg, B2 - 200 mg and B12 - 200 mg; Polynerve which is the same as S...

where can I get blue and clear diet pills ## Are you referring to a prescription diet pill or something you can just grab at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC? You may have better luck going into one of those stores and asking one of the customer service people at the front desk if they have any diet pills that resemble your description. The reason this wouldn't be a prescription pill in the U.S. is because U.S. law requires that all prescription drugs have a unique imprint on the tablets or capsules so the medication can be identified by manufacturer, substance and dosage. This does not seem to be the case for your pill with no imprint, which leaves one of the dietary supplement companies as an option. I'm wondering if the pill you are describing might be a brand called Lipo 6. I've ha...

I am 73 yrs. old. Dr. has perscribed Ultranuron Plus as mineral and vitamin supplement. Is it o.k. ## This is just a nutritional supplement, used to make sure you are getting enough of the vital nutrients that it contains. Most people do not take in enough of them, in their daily diets and this is especially true, when you're older, because you often don't have as much of an appetite as you did, when you were younger. A deficiency in them can cause many different health problems or aggravate pre-existing ones. Have you spoken to your doctor about any concerns you have?
