Hi
Im sure this has been covered loads of times, but had a question about the following supps if anyone has tried them or has any suggestions
I already take b complex and liquid B12 (doc wont give injections!!!)
vit c, cal and mag with zinc and vit d and digestive enz
Iv been reading a lot and wonder about taking the following
D Ribose
Fish Oils
probiotics
coq10
n acetyl cysteine
rhodiola
gingko bilboa
acetyl l carnitine ( is l carnitine the same)
L glutamine
anyway all of these supps together work out very expensive but it is a protocol that is in a book i have been reading annd i wonder if its worth going for it for a few moths rather than trying them all seperatly it seems they all work together
Also i seem to be able to find all of them with a vitimin supplier i trust apart from the d ribose, how do i know its pure is there a way of checking these things out
any suggestions
Thanks

Long term use of creatine can be bad for the kidneys or liver or something like that so be sure to be under a doctor's supervision. The doctor may run a blood test before you try it. Good luck.
I didn't feel any difference with the D Ribose, but I never got up to the full dose. I just couldn't seem to choke down 15 more pills a day. Perhaps the powder is easier.
I also don't feel any difference with the fish oils, but I don't think they work that way - I don't think the benefits they provide are supposed to be something you feel. I do strongly recommend spending the extra to get the enteric coated ones (sometimes called "burp-less". The taste of fish oil is not pleasant.
I can tell a difference on the days I take the Gingko in my ability to think clearly. I save it for those extra foggy days.
If we took everything advised, we'd live on pills... not to mention the expense... so I keep mine to the ones most suggested, which you already listed that you are taking. I do feel better when I remember to take them all... especially the Vitamin D. Good luck!
I am lactose intolerant and have IBS and the probiotic has definately helped keep things in balance.
My Fish Oil and CoQ10 is in one pill. I take this in the morning and I do feel it helps with energy.
I take the d ribose when I get up and again at noon and my mental clarity has improved. It took about 2 weeks to see the full effects from this one.
I just started taking acetyl l carnitine. I can't tell if it is making a difference yet.
