oops,
I asked about a web page listing numerous supplements for als, I guess what was advertizing. My appoligies. I was wanting feed back before I spent a fortune on some of this stuff. they had a long list but it looked like a reasonable attack on progression. it included
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamin B12: up to 25 mg daily, sublingual or administered intramuscularly (IM).
Vitamin E (Gamma E Tocopherol/Tocotrienols): one to two softgels per day with food.
Zinc: 15 mg daily. ALS patients can also consider taking 1 mg of copper in conjunction with zinc.
Herbal Supplements
Ginseng: 400 mg daily.
Ginkgo biloba: Ginkgo Biloba Standardized Extract, one capsule per day.
Other Dietary Supplements
CoQ10: 1200 mg daily.
Creatine: Micronized Creatine, two to four capsules per day with or without food.
DHEA: A typical starting dose of DHEA is 15 mg to 75 mg. Blood testing is recommended after three to six weeks to make sure levels of this hormone are optimal.
Glutathione: L-Glutathione, L-Cysteine and C, one capsule one to three times per day before food.
N-Acetyl Cysteine: one capsule one to three times per day.
Alpha-lipoic acid: R-Dihydro-Lipoic Acid Liquid Caps, one to two capsules per day.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine: L-Carnitine, one to four capsules per day on an empty stomach with water or juice.
Mega Green Tea Extract: one capsule per day with or without food. Decaffeinated green tea is available for people sensitive to caffeine.
Resveratrol: 20 mg daily.
Selenium: 200 mcg daily. This may be administered in conjunction with a calcium channel blocker, such as nimodipine. Calcium channel blockers are available only by prescription.
Super Curcumin: 900 mg
Vinpocetine: 5 mg daily.
What do you think, shouldn't hurt?
Thanks Laurie
