Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Support Group
This community is a place where members can discuss current events and weigh in on what's going on in the world.
Do you take supplements? If so, what are they for? Share you healthy helpful hints with others and list the supplement, the dose, and give a brief explanation of what the supplement is for. I would find it very interesting to see what folks are doing out there with supplements.
I take Alpha Lipoic Acid (200 mg) + Acetyl L-carnitine (1,000 mg) for fatigue. I don't find that it is working at all, though others say it is suppose to be fantastic. Been on for 1+ month.
I also take D3, 5,000 IU's daily. The doseage is an individual thing and should be worked out with your doctor after a blood test.
How about you?

How about you?
2 different kinds of ALA.
1.) Alpha Lipiotic Acid (ALA) that is used to reduce inflammation especially R(shaped)-ALA. It is more usable to your body than S-shaped ALA ...kina like how one key will fit a lock but not another.
2.) Alpha Lineolic Acid (ALA) is also a fatty acid that comes from Flaxseed oil (Omega 3) which the body can convert into EPA/DHA (found in fishoil).
Hope that helps,
