I’m 14, and I took 4 vitamins a while ago, because my mom makes it. I hate doing it, and now my heart hurts. It feels like I have to force myself to breathe. What should I do? Should I just drink more water or soda or something?
i’m taking deep breaths right now, and my above ribs kinda hurt
drink some water and take a tums or rolaid.
sounds like heartburn, but idk.
or maybe its just gas in your chest-? that’s possible.
I’ve been taking a zinc supplement every day for healthy hair (I’m on acccutane which can cause hair thinning), but it makes me vomit 10 minutes after ingestion every time. I’ve had the same problem with multi-vitamins. I’m a pretty small female (a little over 100 lbs) but I’ve tried teen & kid vitamins with the same result. Anyone know why?
I was taking (1) Finest Natural tablet (from Walgreens) a day, which are 50mg. Why would they sell a tablet so far above the recommended dose?
40 mg is actually a more conservative "maximum dose" for Zinc… it’s commonly as high as 50 mg as a daily recommendation (for those that need that high of a dose), but some people would have to build up a tolerance to that or be deficient enough that they need that. The RDA is 15 mg daily, but some people just need more than the RDA (which is the basic daily minimum to sustain basic health).
With that being said, there are two thoughts that I have as "most likely options". Since you are on Accutane, I looked it up and two of the side effects are listed as "nausea and vomiting" according to http://www.drugs.com/accutane.html
Zinc is known to upset the stomach, especially when taken without food, so I think the two of those together is just too much for your stomach and you lose it. Another less likely possibility is that you might be allergic to Zinc, but you would get sick (or at least nauseous) whenever you take any amount of Zinc… I’m sure you would have noticed that if that’s the case. It’s rare, but I’m one of the lucky few who is allergic to Zinc, so I know it’s possible.
I would recommend trying the Zinc (with food) at a separate time of day as the Accutane… as far apart as possible (like one in the morning, the other in the evening). If that doesn’t help, then just avoid the Zinc for now. Good luck and I hope I helped!
I feel like i dont have time to eat 5veg a day….but i take spirulina everyday.
Spirulina is an algae and is high in a lot of vitamins and a very good source of protein. You should not use it as a replacement, but, rather an addition to your meals.
If you find it difficult to get in 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, try making smoothies, you can add spirulina to these, if you add greens to fruit in a good ratio you won’t even taste them. Add banana, apple, spinach/kale, celery or cucumber and apple or grape juice and carrots and strawberries and blend with spirulina. Yum.

The USDA is getting closer to approving Monsanto’s genetically engineered alfalfa. One of the biggest impacts of allowing the use of GE alfalfa is contamination of other crops, including organic alfalfa, which is used by most organic dairies. The USDA actually acknowledges the problem of contamination, but claims consumers and others in the organic movement may not care about the contamination. This is absurd, considering one of the main reasons many people seek out organic food is to avoid genetically engineered crops.
We need to let the USDA know that consumers don’t want genetically engineered foods, and don’t want organic foods to be contaminated. Tell the USDA to reject the approval for Monsanto’s GE alfalfa.

What do I take? Ive tried 2 different kinds of pre natals and both have made me break into hives and made me extremely itchy. I dont want to try more what if the allergic reactions Im having can hurt my baby? I am only 4-5 Weeks pregnant so I know the vitamins are vital. What do I do? Im going to call my OB tomorrow. Until then, any suggestions?
One of my pregnant friends was also allergic to prenatels. I kid you not the Doc had her taking Flinstones. I know it sounds funny but he truely had her taking Flinstones. Good luck and Congratulations!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t suggest it – here is why….
Zinc is used in the body in over 300 different reactions. And it needs its "buddies" to perform those reactions…buddies such as vitamin C, Copper, etc…
So your best bet would be to take a multivitamin
Also…
There are some people who want to take Zinc because it helps to clear up acne, increase testosterone, etc…I’m not sure if it does that, but I do know that after taking large doses (and anything above 20mgs I would consider a large dose) suppresses (slows down) the immune system after a few weeks
Hi there, I have some Spirulina Powder(Pet Fish Enhancer) and I would like to ask if anyone knows how I can make them into solid pellets so that they won’t melt into my fish tank. Thank you so much!

I make homemade food for my goldfish, and the best way is to use unflavored gelatin. Just boil water, add the powder and then add the gelatin. Let it cool and set, cut it up into small bits, and your fish will love it! You can even freeze it in your freezer so it will stay good for a long time.
This video describes some benefits of alpha-lipoic acid and Vitamin D, the former with regards to Lyme disease and the latter in more general terms. If you believe heavy metals are a problem with you, I would not recommend doses of above 2-300 mg of alpha-lipoic acid, as it is a very powerful heavy metal chelator. (In the video I mention 600 mg as the max dose, but I have since rescinded my position on this. To be on the safe side, I would stay at a lower dose, unless you are also taking a strong heavy metal binder such as DMSA, and especially if metals are a significant problem for you. Note: This video was actually recorded four weeks ago. I am just now getting a chance to post it! See also my written blog post (from early January) on these nutrients: www.lymebytes.blogspot.com
