used for rat poisoning in humans ## It's sad to see things were to scared to test on ourselves being tested on animals; even rats. In the case of supplements or Vitamin K in this instance, you never know exactly what they do in their testing facilities to ensure it works the way they want it to work. Word of advice: Get your vitamins and minerals from whole fresh ripe raw organic fruits and vegetables, and you can be assured you are getting plenty of what you need if you incorporate this eating habit on a regular basis. You are also doing the rats (and other animals) a favor by not supporting and buying into these failed products. ## Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that is vital for calcium metabolism, blood clotting, heart health and much more. Usually the blood thinner called C...

One a week. ## VIT D 50,000 UNITS BY PLIVA......I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT THE DYE CONTENT....ALLERGIC TO RED AND BLUE DYES ## This is just a nutritional supplement, so for most people there are no real side effects, other than perhaps a bit of nausea due to the high dosage.

I would like to know the name of the pill manufactured by any leading pharma company in India like Cipla, Zydac Cadilla, Lederle, Pfizer, J&J, Glaxo, etc. Kindly help.

Cal d3 calcium supplement with vitamin d3 tablets ## Hi, Treasure! Did you have a specific question about this supplement? Both Calcium and D3 are vital to your overall health, but they can also be dangerous if you take too much, so you do have to be careful. There are also certain medical conditions that they may be contraindicated with and certain medications they can affect, so you should always check with your doctor, before taking them. If you don't need, because you aren't deficient then it may not be the right thing for you to take, because the D3 will basically potentate the calcium, which makes it quite easy for you to develop hypercalcemia.

Has he shown any signs of being deficient in any nutrients, such as lethargy, nausea or not being as active as usual? It can be normal, especially for children his age that are very active, to experience weight fluctuations. In many cases, they will gain weight, for awhile, and have a larger appetite, which is just the body's way of preparing for them to grow. Then, when the growth spurt hits, the weight will seem to disappear and you may discover that they've grown an inch or more. This is perfectly normal and there is no need to...

Is it safe to take vitamin B. I am diabetic, hypertensive and already have kidney problems. I feel tingling sensations in my toes, below my ears and the scar from my bypass operation. ## Hi, Jaycee! Sorry about the health problems you're having. However, with a complicated medical history, as well as the fact that I'm sure you're taking other medications, I can only tell you that it's best to check with your doctor, before taking anything else. What medications are you on? I realize that these are just vitamins, but there are some medications they may be contraindicated with and they may cause some complications with some medical issues. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Low, it is true that b1,6,12 also vitamins for growth?

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...

what is it and what are its benefits? ## Hello, Quentin! How are you? It actually hasn't been isolated as a specific substance, it's thought to be a mixture of B10 and B11. It was originally isolated from wine and thought to be a metabolite of Xanthopterin. Very little is known about it, I found this limited information on a holistic health website. Its possibly functions are thought to be cell formation and inhibiting a particular type of anemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

The main concern between combining an antidepressant with some herbal products, such as St. John's Wort is that it creates the risk of your developing an excess build up of serotonin, which could be fatal. Ref: Serotonin Syndrome Information As to the B12, yes, it can help with depression, tiredness, fatigue, and etc., but only if you are actually low in it, and/or don't take in a sufficient amount normally.

I opened 3 vitamin C capsules. Squeezed them into a little dish, with a probiotic emptied into the mixture as well. Had a breakout between my jaw/chin area due to 'that time of the month' .... will let you know how it goes! ## Hi Ashley, I've also heard that starting your menstrual cycle can cause acne around the chin/jaw area. So if you had a breakout it may not have been associated with the vitamin C capsules at all. I don't know if that's what you were getting at and were concerned by it, but thought I'd mention it anyways. However, regarding your query on "how to use vitamin c capsules", the typical method of administration is to simply take them orally as the directions state. But I do know you can also empty them into water a chug it take way too. I...
