Hi,

Please can someone break down the vitamin & mineral I need as I have PA suffer?.

Currently I'm taking:

Magnesium 2 tablets per day 375mg

Methyl Folate 1 tablet per day 400mg

COQ10 2 tablets per day 100mg

Vitamin D3 2 softgels per day 50mcg

A general vitamin and mineral for women.

Is this enough or do I need to be taking anything else, along side my b12 jabs? Any replies welcomed.

Many thanks x

PA will not mean that you need to take magnesium. Are your levels low?

PA can mean problems absorbing folate and vitamin D from food so it's a good idea to take them as well.

The general vitamin and mineral supplement should cover everything else.
