Vitamins and supplements:
We advise you to take a daily multi-vitamin. It is very important that you get enough Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A. check your multi-vitamin to see the amounts of these three vitamins. If the total in your daily vitamin is not as much as the amounts listed below, you may need to take a Vitamin C, E, and/or A supplement. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means your body excretes excess amounts of it. Vitamin E and A are fat-soluble vitamins that your body stores. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the amounts you consume of these vitamins and take the recommended doses. The following recommended doses are for adults (over the age of eighteen).
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is cleared out of your body every four to five hours. Therefore, to give your body a sufficient amount of it, you need to take it more than once a day. We suggest that you take 1000mg at least twice a day. If you feel like your immune system is down, take 500-1000mg three to four times a day. The recommended dose of Vitamin C is a controversial issue. If you would like more information, we have articles available at the clinic.
Vitamin E: Your daily intake of Vitamin E should be 400-800 IU (International Units) taken once a day, in the morning.
Vitamin A: Vitamin A is also taken once a day, with a meal. The recommended dose is 2500-5000 IU every day.
